Small Numbers Hurt Bombers

The Bombers were only able to manage 7 and 8 players in their recent games vs the Spitfires and Bears. That made for two games that the Bombers were competitive but only for 2 periods.

"We had a lot of guys out" said Bomber defenseman Mike Gilbert Sr. "Its tough to play a full 3 periods when you are missing that many guys." he added.

The Bombers were tied with the Spitfires in the first of the two games, 1-1 going into the third. But fatigue set in and the Bombers, with only 7 players, allowed 4 goals in the third losing 5-2.

The next game against the Bears was more of the same with the Bombers again allowing 4 in the third. 2 goals in the final minute by Bobby Calvano helped the Bombers gain a little momentum for their next game against the Metro Fire.

"We should have a better compliment of our players for that game" noted Bomber GM Bill Auld. "Because of the history of our orginization, our players are in great demand. Sometimes this catches up with us. We will be able to rectify the problem and give the fans the on-ice product they deserve."

Time will tell-Next game October 11 vs the Metro Fire.
