Pete Vandermeer, who was not resigned by the Bears this past offseason, is currently leading the WORLD in PIM's.Through 6 games played,yes i said 6, Pistol Pete eclipsed the century mark in PIM's with 101. Colin Fraser of Rockford is 2nd in the league,he trails Pete by 53 min.All I can say is WOW!!!! Louis Robitaille is 41st in the league with 19 PIM's. Louis has his work cut out for him to catch up to Pistol Pete.

Bears on a 2 game winning streak,3-2 in OT

Last night in New York's Southern Tier the Bears and Baby Sens tangled for the second time in as many weeks. Freddie Cassivi started his fifth consecutive game for the Bears and picked up the win to improve his record to 2-3-0 on the young season. Grant Potulny must feel as if he owns Binghamton. On the season Potulny has scored three goals, all coming against his former squad.Grant potted two goals last night,both goals gave the Bears a lead,1-0 and 2-1.The Bears had a 2-1 lead just under 3:00 into the final frame, when former Bridgeport SoundTiger Justin Mapletoft netted his first of the year for the Sens to tie up the game at two. The teams remained tied at 2 at the end of regulation. Kyle Wilson who has scored at least one point in the Bears previous 4 games,needed a point to keep his streak alive, and boy did he get that point. Tyler Sloan sent a cross ice pass to Wilson who kicked the puck from skate to stick and slide it by the out stretched arm of Binghamton goalie Jeff Glass.

FINAL SCORE
Bears-3(Potulny(2),Wilson)
Sens-2(Zubov,Mapletoft)
