Bears need 3!

Bridgeport defeated Wilkes Barre last night in OT to get to 82 points and only 4 behind the Bears for 4th in the division.

The Bears magic number is 3. With 3 points they will clinch a playoff berth. It doesn't matter how they get those points. If the Sound Tigers lose a game than the Bears only need 1 point. Bridgeport needs to win all 3 of their games this weekend and get help from Hershey. Bridgeport has games against Lowell and then a home and home with Hartford to close out the season.

To close out Binghamton the Bears only need 1 point. If Bingo even loses in OT than the Bears lock them out of the postseason. And Bingo comes to town Sunday for the season finale.

This Bears fan is hoping that the last game of the season is meaningless and that the Bears are already in. Two wins against Philly this Friday/Saturday would be GREAT!!


Sami Lepisto and Tyler Sloan have been in Washington this week practicing with the Caps. Sloan is just up there for practice and will be in Philly for Friday. Sami is probably coming back for that game as well. They were up due to injuries to Shaone Morrison and Jeff Schultz but both of them are expected to return for game 1 Friday night.
