LUNDEEN LEADS BOMBERS

The Bomber Hockey Club scored a 7-3 victory against the Flying Aces on Sunday, led by Scott Lundeen's 6 point performance (3g3a). "We were geared up for this game. The Aces are rolling, coming off that victory against the 'Moles." noted Bomber defensemen Lupe' Poltorak. 

A four goal second period broke open the game for the Bombers when Jean Eric Hoyer', Poltorak, Lundeen and John Zimnoch each scored. Rober' Auld added a goal in the third to round out the Bombers tallies. 

Game Notes: In an impromptu summit conference, the Aces Mike Peterson and Eric Kusznier met with the Bombers Bill Auld and Tony D'ann in the penalty boxes late in the third for what turned out to be a very erudite discussion about the subtle nuances hockey and its greater global impact.

Bombers Snatch Defeat from Hands of Victory

The Bombers recently defeated last season's champions, the Buzzards, by a convincing 5-2 score.  The Bombers continued their strong play by handling last season's runners up the Predators-if only for the first two and 1/2 periods.  Skating to what looked to be their second win in a row, the Bombers had a strongly played 3-1 lead midway through the final period of the game vs the pesky Preds. 

But they play three full 15min periods in the Federal league and that extra time proved costly for the Bombers who allowed the Preds to scored 3 unanswered to get the win. The game winner came with 10.4 seconds remaining and let the air out of the room of the Bomber faithful.  The Bombers did make the use of the remaining seconds and nearly scored to tie the game but the captain's shot hit the shaft of the goalies stick and deflected off the post as time expired.  The play was set up on a faceoff by Eric Silverman who was playing his first game with the organization.  Silverman and Auld once made a formidable duo in the fledging Basement hockey league of Edison, NJ back in the late 70's.  Silverman was quoted as saying " It was great playing with the Bombers and we had some chemistry.  Nice playing with guys with some skills."  I don't know exactly what guys he means but the sentiment was appreciated. 

Buzzards no Match for Bombers

The Bombers dominated play during their affair with the Buzzards-winning by a 5-2 score.  The Buzzards, who have only lost 3 games since joining the Federal League last season was favored in the contest but the Bombers did not receive the memo.  It looked early that the Buzzards believed their own clippings, scoring 14 seconds into the game.  But that was basically it for them and the Bombers followed with 2 goals from Bill Auld and 1 each from John Zimnoch, Jean Eric Hoyer' and Scott Lundeen.  Kyle Kappmeier contributed with 3 helpers.
