How about them Dayton Bombers?!?!

[TooTall]

They just came back from down 2-0 going TO Cincinnati and took 1 of 2 there. Came back to the Nutter Center and put Cincinnati away! Don McAdam has the Bombers playing where they should be, and having a shot at the Kelly Cup makes us fans VERY happy! In the American Conference finals they play either Texas or Florida... GO BOMBERS!

Little update... The Bombers won again last night to take the series lead 3-2, they go to Florida for games 6 and 7.

Would be nice to see an Ohio pro team win a title, albeit a minor league title...

Is this the Bombers best playoff run ever?

When I was little, my stepdad and I had Bombers season tickets back in the Hara Arena Days. Jason Downey used to kick some major ass!

WOAH! You totally missed Dupuis who the Jackets are basically dying to have on their team! He spent most of the season with Syracuse but came down because of an injury earlier (I went and saw him then) and when the season was over for Syracuse he came to Dayton for a title push. Another player who has potential is rookie Brent Walton.. He's young but has showed a lot of leadership against Florida! And you can't overlook Yannick Tifu who is probably the quickest player on the team and with Dupuis on the same line as him... WOAH!!!

Edit: That's Trevor Hendrikx*... Strange I know!

Kelly Cup Finals:
Idaho Steelheads
Dayton Bombers!!!!

[jimotis4heisman]

im just telling you. hes a center. hes 22. he didnt tear the ahl up. hes a third line center and columbus has a bunch of them param, svits, manny etc. 18 months atleast before you have a chance at seeing him regularly in columbus. but hey ive been wrong before.

 

[fourteenandoh]

[jimotis4heisman]

ive got about 3 or 4 more prospects that ill hope to add to the thread predraft. then likely ill do about two more (1,2,3 rounderish) after the draft.
