Canadian Tire Centre was the place to be in Canada’s capital on Friday night. The hometown Ottawa Black Bears took their home turf and welcomed the Vancouver Warriors for a Week 9 clash for Canadian supremacy. Time for some honesty; Vancouver won this game 12-8, and while the final score is indicative of a relatively close game, Vancouver controlled this one for most of it. This contest was a track…
Up to this point early in the season, both the Buffalo Bandits and Ottawa Black Bears found themselves in the middle of the pack. One thing that differentiated these two from the rest is that neither team had lost two consecutive games this season. All in all, that means proper adjustments were made to avoid a skid on both sides. That point was going to come to an end in…
It was the first installment of the I-90 rivalry of the season on Saturday night, as the Buffalo Bandits made the hour-long trip down the thruway to clash with the Rochester Knighthawks. These games are always fun and intense because of the split crowd, as well as the disdain both clubs have for each other. After all, these two play for bragging rights in the entire state of New York….
In this edition of lacrosse after dark, we saw a massive matchup between the Saskatchewan Rush and the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. Lee’s Family Forum was jumping on Friday night in anticipation of this monster matchup. The visiting Rush came in as arguably the league’s hottest team, while the Desert Dogs were looking to string some wins together and become more cohesive as a new look team. Now I’ll pause…
The final game of the Week 6 slate featured two teams who desperately needed a win. The hometown San Diego Seals only had one win in the young season and needed to get rolling. On the other end, the Calgary Roughnecks were still searching for their first win. Both teams are very capable of going on a run, so this was set to be a doozy. With 26 total goals,…
If you watch lacrosse for the scoring, then the contest between the Rochester Knighthawks and Colorado Mammoth on Saturday night was the game for you. With 31 total goals and 30 combined penalty minutes, this game had it all. To make things even more interesting, it was the return to Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado for Zed Williams. It was also the long-awaited season debut for Jack Hannah, who donned…
Calendar? Cleared. Popcorn? Popped. Plans? None, watching this stacked matchup between the Buffalo Bandits and Las Vegas Desert Dogs is the only thing on the itinerary. A sellout crowd at KeyBank Center in the 716 was ready to pop as it was an emotional evening. First and foremost, it was Tucker Out Lymphoma Night. For those that don’t know, Tucker Williams is the late son of former Bandit and current…
Saturday night featured some lacrosse after dark, as the late game saw the Las Vegas Desert Dogs welcome the Ottawa Black Bears to Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson, Nevada. I’ll tell you now that the Desert Dogs snuck away with a 10-9 victory, but it certainly didn’t look like it was going to be that close for a vast majority of the game. Kudos to Ottawa for not rolling over…
The second game of the Week 4 slate was a dream for a lacrosse fan, as it had quite literally everything one could ask for. Scoring, as there were 26 total goals scored, physicality, 50 penalty minutes, and even a goalie fight. The Rochester Knighthawks welcomed the Philadelphia Wings to town, and let’s just say it was unlikely that both teams were hanging out together after the game. Rochester used…
Over 17,000+ braved the wind and snow to file into KeyBank Center on Saturday night. The hometown Bandits were back on their home floor, this time welcoming the Halifax Thunderbirds to town. This game is a must watch if you’re a lacrosse fan, as it had quite literally, everything. Scoring, stingy defense, stingier goaltending, and even some overtime. Buffalo controlled this game for the majority, but Halifax wouldn’t go away….
