"They are a better team." commented Rober' Auld after a 5-2 loss to the Predators on Sunday. Perhaps referring to the team that came from the BSA league that last saw the two teams play. The Predators did indeed add some bodies with a new top line defensive tandem and referee turned forward Craig Rossi who previously only bothered the Bombers with bad calls.
The Bombers only real problem was a soft first period that had them down 4-1 by the end of the stanza. "We played them even the rest of the way" said keeper Josh Burke. "It's not like us to be that soft in the first." The Bombers were down 4 players that were in the lineup for the Comeback Kids victory, Tony D'anna, both Raulfs and Junior but they did welcome John Zimnoch back for his first regular season game in the new arena and Bomber legend Mike Rosenberg.
The Bombers will have 10 days at the practice rink prior to their next game vs the pesky Shamrocks. If they want to get the coveted inter-league games vs the Iron League they will have to claw their way into one of the top three spots. Currently the Bombers are tied for 5th.
