The Bash brothers are back…

Enforcers Justin Sawyer and Robin Gomez were never actually called the “bash brothers” by anyone, but I’ve always liked the name going back to Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco for the Oakland A’s.
After a year together in Oklahoma City, the duo will play together in Bloomington as the PrairieThunder signed Gomez earlier this week.
From the official release:
Gomez, a 6-2, 210-pound native of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, has racked up 1,418 penalty minutes in 388 games during his seven-year pro career. He began with the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL in 2002 before going to Manchester of the EIHL in 2006.
Gomez also has played 12 games in the AHL. He has 66 goals and 80 assists overall while being a member five playoff teams.
“(Gomez) was one of the toughest players in the CHL last season,” Skalde said. “You know when you go into a building and Robin Gomez is on a team, everyone is aware of it. The great thing about Robin is he can play and put up some numbers.
“He’s a guy you can throw on your power play in front of the net. He’s a regular-shift guy, but he’ll also be one of the toughest players in our league. He just commands that respect from other players.”
