Bombers Slip Up-Lose to Last Place Metro Fire

Secure in their playoff position, the Bombers appeared to look past the last place Metro Fire on Sunday in a lackluster game. With nothing to lose the Metro Fire came out gunning for the Bombers in a effort to salvage what has been another dismal season.

Metro used an aggressive forecheck and a chippy demeanor to skate past the Bombers who will play the Bears in next week's first round playoff matchup. Two even strength Metro goals in the 2nd proved to be enough as they won 3-1 for only the second win of their season.

Bobby Calvano, fresh of a stint on the DL with a "groin injury", scored the Bombers only goal.
