Fan Poll: Brampton Excelsiors over the Buffalo Bandits
The votes are in and you guys feel the Brampton Excelsiors would take a seven game series war against the Champion’s Cup winning Buffalo Bandits.
With almost 700 votes cast since Monday morning, the Excels took the “series” with 58% of the vote, in what probably woulda played out to like a 4-2 series win for the ‘08 Mann Cup winners.
Brampton sported one of the most loaded casts seen in years, with Anthony Cosmo in goal, the likes of Cam Woods and Brodie Merrill patrolling their own end, and then a forward crew that included Dan Dawson, Colin Doyle, Josh Sanderson, Blaine Manning and Aaron Wilson (holy 2005 Toronto Rock O flashback!).
Here’s a quick look at the guys that contributed to the team’s cup winning seasons, in order to give ya a better idea of how both clubs woulda matched up against one another…
