Dramatic Comeback Win for Bombers

The Bombers won a dramatic come from behind win on Tuesday, winning 4-3 in a shootout versus the Smoke. The Bombers benefitted from spirted play from its defenders John Zimnoch, Loop Poltorak and Neil Van Der Horn. But the offense, although hard working, was running into a brick wall of Smoke defense and goaltending.

Down 3-0 in the third the Bombers managed to claw their way back to even with less than 4 minutes remaining when Bill Auld's wrap around attempt ricocheted off the Smoke netminder. Jean Eric Hoyer' started the comeback earlier in the period with back to back goals midway through the period.

The game marked the comeback from IR of Rober' Auld who netted an assist on the Bombers' first goal. Josh Burke denied all Smoke attackers in the shootout as per his usual and Bill Auld's tally in the third round clinched the victory-coincidentally avenging a 4-3 shootout loss to the Smoke earlier in the season.
