Bombers Dominate Bears-Clinch Playoff Berth

M.Bochner, Jim Lawson and Rich Moss recorded a staggering 13 pts as a foward line on Sunday helping the Bombers clinch a playoff spot in the B2 championship series. Lawson and Bochner each had a hatrick on the night with Moss acting as the assist man with 4 helpers. Lawson added 3 assists of his own for a 6pt night.

The Time Line also recorded big numbers during the contest, racking up 22 minutes in penalties. Most of the confrontation revolved around some philosphical differences between The Rev. Mike Rosenberg and one Utah raised official that caused #3 to leave the precedings a tad early. Rosenberg took one for the team, or at least for #10-Superstar Johnny Z who escaped his second "yelling at the opponent" penalty of the night when Rosenberg successfully diverted the offical's attention.

But all's well that ends well (and a few seconds early). The Bombers should shape up to be the 7 seed- in all likelyhood facing these same Bears in the first round of playoff competition.

Game notes:

Adam Lapinski has a 2 game streak of shooting pucks at people not on the ice. Lapinski's target this week was an unaware scorekeeper who was briefly attended to by medical personnel but was fortunately able to finish his duties.

After the team defense let up 11 goals in the team's contest vs "the New" Dallas Wrecking" 2 games ago, Josh Burke has helped the team rebound with a solid stablizing performance of late.

Jim Lawson's 24pts are the most for a Bomber player since Mark Bochner's 26 pts in the spring of 2006.
