Poltorak and Tracy Excite Crowd

Just having Lupe' Poltorak back in the lineup was excitement enough to get Bombers fans buying tickets and standing up in their seats.  Lupe', on loan from Portland returned to a roaring ovation from both his fans and his teammates.  Bombers Josh Burke, Kyle Kappmeier & Tony D'anna were so


excited they didn't even show up.  Tim Tracy added to the nights drama with his first ever Bomber goal.  And none, too soon.  Tracy's tally tied the game for the storied franchise with 9 seconds remaining in the game off a frenzied goalmouth scramble. 

A shoot out ensued and all three Bomber shooters- Drew Campbell, the aforementioned Lupe' and Superstar Johnny Z lit the lamp in the skills competition.  Substitute goalie Rob Imbriaco stopped 1 of 3, just enough to earn the win.

Lupe' to be in Lineup vs Mulligans

Yes Bomber fans, its true.  Lupe' Poltorak will be wearing his familiar #91 and hopefully his trademark sombrero when the Bombers face the Mulligans on Tuesday night.  When asked if he would be able to make his historic return his answer was a deeply profound "Sure, why not."  He does have a way with words.  So get your tickets early as there may not be any more come game time.  LUPE', LUPE', LUPE'!!!

Holy 'Moley

The Whack-a-Moles defeated the Bombers 5-3 in a game that felt much worse than the score indicated.  The game looked to be a mismatch early as the Moles dominated the first few shifts with a barrage of attacking zone pressure. The Bombers seemed to be able to weather the storm and came out of the first only down 1-0.  Eventually the Moles, a recent addition from the Iron league, jumped ahead 4-1 in the contest and the Bombers were never able to make it all the way back.  Three second period Mole goals turned out to be enough for the victory.  Things did get interesting with under 3 mins remaining in the third.  That is when Justin Jensen of the Moles cleared out Rober' in front of the net with a high crosscheck that was met with retaliation from his linemates and Rober' himself.  Jensen perhaps felt the 5-2 lead did not provide enough of a cushion or perhaps he's an idiot.

John Zimnoch had 2 goals, Scott Lundeen had 1goal and 1 assist and JEHoyer' notched 2 assists in the loss.
