Bombers Rally Late for 4-3 Victory

The Bombers scored 2 late goals against a much improved Metro Fire squad to notch their first win of the Winter 2008 season. Down 3-2 in the waning minutes of a clean hard fought contest, Bob Calvano banged home a goal from the slot off a feed from Bill Auld to tie the game at 3. Adam Lapinski, playing in his first game for the big club, also assisted on the play.

As the Metro Fire took a time out the Bombers decided to reload and put out the line of Rosenberg, Lawson and Rober' for the final shift. The modified "Time Line" proved up to the task and Rosenberg was able to send Jimmy Lawson free down the left side with only one to beat. As the partisan Bomber crowd stood on their feet, Lawson sidestepped the opposing defensman, one-timed his own chip pass, and scored with 11.4seconds remaining.

Rober' then won the ensuing center ice face off and dumped the puck into the Metro Fire zone to seal the 4-3 victory.

Game Notes:
* With Tony D'anna out with flu like symptoms, "Original" Bomber Stu Blasius got a last minute call up and played his first game in nearly 3 years with the storied franchise.
*Adam Lapinski looked strong in his debut with some speculating that now the GM need not make a rumoured trade deadline deal for another puck moving defenseman.
*The second game of the night saw the Shamrocks and Bears playing to a 5-5 tie that was completed without the need of local law enforcement.
