Oklahoma City started out strong in this game, taking a 2-0 lead to the locker room after the first period.  The Mudbugs, however, were not content to roll over and quit...a goal from Ty Hennes put the 'Bugs on the board at 4:14, and Forbes MacPherson scored on a rare penalty shot less than three minutes later.  I'm sure many Blazers fans were afraid the team was going to give the game away, but they came back late in the third with a goal by Dallas Flaman to make it 3-2.  The MudBugs pulled goalie John Decaro for the extra attacker, but AJ MacLean managed an empty netter to finish off the night.

 This was one of those games that could very easily have gone the other way.  There were several near-misses, funky bounces, and "holy crap!" saves...the Blazers were fortunate to pull out the win.
