The Bombers exploded for 13 goals in two consecutive victories agains the perenially tough Whalers. The first game was a dominant performance on both ends of the ice leading to a 6-2 victory. Dan Scerra, a emergency call up from the Vudoo of the BSA C League put his name in the Bomber archives in dramatic fashion-netting a hat trick in the contest. "Vu-who?" was all that Dan could muster as a quote-the excitement of not only playing for the storied franchise but getting 3 goals as well overcame the youngster. Bill Auld added 2 goals and Dave Bochner rounded out the scoring.
The second game of the back to backs was played a week later was dominated by the outstanding goaltending of Josh Burke. The Whale who could not keep the Bombers off the scoreboard in the 7-1 loss were actually up to the task in the offensive zone but Burke stood on his head frustrating the skilled Whaler forwards. "It was getting to the point where we were just shaking our heads in disbelief." said Whaler forward Soup Campbell. "That game could have actually been a close one if not for Josh. Best game I've seen him play." said Bomber vet Mike Gilbert, Jr.
A highight of the evening for the Bomber faithful was an unexpected visit by Mike Gilbert, Sr who made himself available for his legions of fans. "It's always great to see a Bomber legend make time to give back to the fans and the Bomber players. The organization owes a lot to Senior." noted the Bomber GM.
