With Bombers in town, hold on to your hats
Every year, in every hockey league, certain matchups are circled on the calendar.
Sometimes, a standout player is facing his former team for the first time. Other times, the two top players in the league are going head to head. Perhaps it’s a key divisional matchup at a crucial time in the season.
Or, it’s something else entirely.
Sometimes, as is this case with Wednesday’s (and Friday’s) game against the Flin Flon Bombers, you’re facing the team that knocked you out of last year’s playoffs in the first home game since dropping that series, in overtime, in front of your home fans.
