NLL: Mammoth take Finals rematch, leave Buffalo just as they left in in 2022

March 20, 2023

If you’re a fan of Buffalo Bandits lacrosse, Saturday night’s contest against the Colorado Mammoth had been circled on your calendar for nine months. Last June, the Mammoth took games two and three to capture the Championship, winning game three in Buffalo. The Bandits looked for some revenge, all while sporting some sweet St. Patrick’s Day uniforms. KeyBank Center was bumping in the first quarter. After that, it was eerily…

When you watch a lacrosse game, do you like the goal scoring? Or are you a fan of the defense and goaltending? If your answer was the latter, look away now (don’t actually, please keep reading!). The Sunday afternoon matchup between the Rochester Knighthawks and Georgia Swarm was an absolute shootout. Georgia came in on a two-game winning streak and needed to continue that for any chance to get into…

NLL: Bandits win sixth straight, Cloutier nets four in return

When it comes to Buffalo, there are a few things that are for certain. As someone who lives there and was born and raised, I can vouch. The people are as nice, yet, battle tested as they come, the weather is as unpredictable as it gets and their sports teams sure know how to cause way-too-early cardiac issues. 14,896 fans braved some snowy weather to get down to the KeyBank…

Do you smell that? That’s the smell of history being made, with a dash of fresh Southern California air. That’s right, for the first time in NLL history, there was a game played outdoors. Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California played host to the Stadium Showdown between the Seals and the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. There is much to unpack, so we’ll start with the results. San Diego used a…

It was military appreciation night at Ball Arena in Denver Colorado on Friday night. The Mammoth donned some pretty sweet black-and-camo uniforms as they prepped for Panther City Lacrosse Club and game three of their season series. Colorado took game one back in December, and PCLC took game two last weekend. Game two was ugly, there’s no other way to put it. Only being a week removed, this one was…

NLL: Injury-plagued Bandits remain atop the East with OT win over Wings

It was “wing night” in Buffalo, New York on Saturday night. Years prior, it seemed ironic that Philadelphia came to town for these games, but now it seems like a good marketing ploy. I’ll take a single order of hot, please. The Bandits came in sitting atop the East Division, while Philadelphia was in the middle of the pack battling for playoff positioning. Buffalo won the other meeting between these…

Two West Division teams squared off Saturday night in Fort Worth, Texas. Literally. Colorado came into Dickies Arena looking for momentum to increase their chances of making this year’s playoffs. A young upstart Panther City Lacrosse Club had something to say about it. Both teams found themselves in the middle of the standings, so any win at this point in the season is crucial. The PCLC faithful bought tickets to…

Saturday night’s contest between the Vancouver Warriors and Panther City Lacrosse Club featured two teams that desperately needed a win. PCLC definitely needed the win more, as teams are starting to jockey for their playoff position. PCLC is right on the cusp, and well, Vancouver is just looking for moral victories at this point. Dickies Arena was bumpin’, as a back-and-forth contest resulted in the hometown boys sneaking out with…

The San Diego Seals may very well have one of the most complete rosters in the NLL. Saturday night they came in as the top team in the West Conference. However, one of the more upstart, young and fun-to-watch teams in the Panther City Lacrosse Club came into Pechanga Arena looking to boost their playoff chances. Something to think about: PCLC came in sitting in the fourth spot in the…

There were frigid temperatures in Buffalo, New York on Saturday night, however the inside of KeyBank Center was piping hot. The second installment of the “Battle of the I-90” was taking place, as the second-place Bandits took on the first-place Knighthawks. Fourteen thousand plus riled-up fans donning both teams’ colours were on the edges of their seats. Buffalo could take over first place with a win against their rivals. Are…
