|Introduction|
On February 20th, 2015, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers joined the RNHL. Players BryanFehr and LLglo were the first two players on the team, glo being a rookie. In the draft, they picked a few not so talented, but players full of potential.
|Post-Draft|
After the draft, owner BryanFehr and Brutters went on a signing spree, signing multiple players including JHL prodigy, Grimevil1. This player had the talent most teams wanted, but the attitude most teams despised. He was a great goaltender, who took the place of the former starter of the San Francisco Wildcats, pumpknstar4.
|Pre-Season|
It was a fight between pumpkn and grime that would decide the starter in net. After a few pre-season games, the Blue Bombers only earned a single win out of 4 pre-season games. The starters were still undecided.
|Early Season|
After 4 games, pumpknstar4 had slowly slipped into a backup postition as Grimevil1 had taken his place as starter. After 6 games, the Blue Bombers had pulled off a horrible 0-4-2 start to the season. Into their 7th game, they were desperate for a win. With a lack of offense in their past 6, they were looking for a boost from their goaltender, grimevil1, and that's what they got. He ended up shutting out the opponent (Of which I forgot) earning them their first win of the season.
|Mid Season| After finally earning a win, the Blue Bombers were looking for some offensive acquisitions. They signed forward pawlo2002alt4, who quickly earned a spot on the team and took the 'C' From glo. It didn't take long for him to take effect on the team as they boosted to 3-5-2. After grimevil1 was finally pulled off the team rrihl1 and breezywoohoo9jr were the two goaltenders, as pumpknstar4 had decided to take a break from the team.
|Late season|
Heading to the post-season, the Blue Bombers were in the hunt for a playoff spot. Playing poorly as of a late, but still earning a point in a 1-0 OT loss to Indiana, the powerhouse of the league. With a 4-6-4 record, they were still very much in a playoff hunt, and in a spot. Only being 2 points behind Sandy Bay heading into their final 2 games, their last two opponents were San Jose, and Sandy Bay.
|Playoff Hunt|
former goalie pumpknstar4 had decided to rejoin the team to help them in the playoff hunt. In the game against San Jose, pawlo, pumpkn,bryan, and korm were all part of the effort in a 3-0 shutout against San Jose. As they trampled past the Kings, they had one final opponent, whom they were tied in points with. The winner of this game, in any fashion, would earn home ice in the series, in which these two teams were to face each other in the playoffs. Carried by goalie pawlo2002alt4, they were sprinting their way into the playoffs.
|Final game of the season|
Heading into the Sandy Bay game, the Blue Bombers were heavily persuaded to win as a home ice advantage was at stake. An early effort from the first line showed no mistakes as they played phenomenal, but didn't score. Mid-way through the 1st period, the Blue Bombers made a line change, and the Havoc took advantage against the rookie line. Glo was in front of the net and the puck bounced off of him, and went into the goal. 1-0 Havoc. Skip ahead to the 2nd period, they Havoc again took advantage against the rookie line, scoring a 2nd goal to make it 2-0 Havoc. At the 2nd intermission, the Blue Bombers were looking to find a spark early in the 3rd, and that's exactly what they did. Only 40 seconds into the 3rd period, with a dump in from pumpkn, wisehockey18 threw a shot on goal, and scored to make it a 2-1 game. Seconds later, a pass from pump over to korm, and a shot in front. The rebound made it's way over to wise, and he scored his 2nd of the game, tying it at 2. It only took 1:30 to go from a 2-0 deficit, to a 2-2 tie. This game needed overtime, but that solved nothing. This game needed... a shootout. It didn't go 3 rounds, not 4, not 5, not 6, but 14 rounds, before the owner, BryanFehr, scored the game winning shootout goal, win 3-2 in the shootout, and take a home ice advantage!
|Post-Season|
Heading into game 1, the Blue Bombers had a large amount of momentum heading into game one after their comeback win just days earlier. And their momentum paid off, as they worked their way to a 1-0 Win against the Havoc. As they were elated by their game 1 victory, the Havoc were enraged, and looking to bounce back. And they did exactly that. In a 2v2 w/ gk game, they were able to snipe a shot home on a breakaway in overtime to win game 2 and tie the series. Despite the loss, a phenomenal effort from goalie pawlo2002alt4 (A.K.A. Pawrovsky) was a huge X-Factor in the series, who had 26 saves on 27 shots in game 2. Game 3, a poor update from ROBLOX proved to be another X-Factor in this series, but against the Blue Bombers. As they went with 0 goals in games 3 and 4 and lost the series 3-1 to the Havoc.
|Post-Playoffs|
After the playoffs, the team was downed by the loss to the Havoc. But that didn't stop the team from making improvements. Owner, BryanFehr, had agreed so sign ChapterTen (lockdown) for the upcoming season. He wasn't an official player yet, but he had agreed to join the team after the Royals season ended. 2 More massive acquirement were made, as players Angy and Zatter had agreed to join the team once their seasons were over.
And that brings you up to speed.
Let's Go Blue Bombers! |
