@ 7:30 CST @ Laredo Energy Center

The southern swing started off on a positive note, while the still short handed Thunder gave the Bees a 4-1 loss. Wichita's usual third line players (Lizon, Donaghy, Flath, Chappell) tallied seven points on the night. Tonights opponent, Laredo, has blanked the Brahmas two games in a row. From my understanding the new goaltender in Texas has been less than impressive, regardless the Bucks will come into the game with a lot of momentum. Despite the momentum Laredo is still the second lowest scoring team in the league, and still five games under .500. Thunder win 5-3

Laredo's goalie Torrie Jung has been on a roll lately has something like 3 shutouts in his last 5 games which is very impressive, but they were playing against a very weak offensive team in Texas so that probably helped. I think this should be another pretty easy game but can't take anything for granted. If we come out and play Thunder hockey and not play to the level of our opponent we win this game 5-2.

3-2 Thunder OT win with Russo in net.

[size="3"][/size]Need some good offense from the top scorers tonight. Hopefully they are close to being healthy again

The Bucks are a better team then their record shows. Sneaky good team!

yeh they just got off to such a poor start they've been trying to dig out of a big hole all season long.. I know they CAN beat us but i think if the boys bring it like i know they can i think we'll win fairly easily.. Only question is who gets the nod tonight russo or hogan?

Great game tonight keep rollin boys

oh yeh who called that score!.... the boys are playing great right now. Sucks that we can get any seperation from Allen cause they keep winning but we can't control that. Great weekend boys keep it up.

I just caught the recap and they said one of the thunder got hurt, who was it and how bad?

Not 100 percent sure but i think it was Alex that left the game hurt... Probably his ankle again no clue how bad it was. He needs a week with no playing to get that thing healed.

Oh ok makes sense, hope he gets some much needed rest.
