In the NLL, there are many rivalries, some new, some old. It appears as though a new one is blooming right before our very eyes. The Buffalo Bandits took their home floor on Saturday night and welcomed in the Albany FireWolves. The first time these two clubs played in Albany to open the season, it was extremely physical and high scoring. This game in Buffalo followed suit. In front of…
Who’s ready for some NLL after dark? The Friday night contest between the Georgia Swarm and San Diego Seals came to you from Pechanga Arena, with an 11 p.m. start on the East Coast. If you couldn’t stay up for this game in its entirety, we highly suggest you rewatch, because man, it was good. The Charlie Daniels classic “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” is an all-time hit. Here’s…
Don’t look now, but the Colorado Mammoth may have found their mojo. After one of their worst starts to the season in recent history, the Mammoth came back with a vengeance Friday night at the Loud House. They played host to a streaking New York Riptide team, and quelled their momentum convincingly. Using a 10-goal run between the third and fourth quarters, Colorado quickly put this game to bed, cruising…

There are a couple things in our lives that are for certain: death, taxes, and the inability for the Buffalo Bandits and Rochester Knighthawks to play a boring lacrosse game. For the second week in a row, the Saturday Night Showcase featured the Buffalo Bandits, this time with them on their home floor against Rochester in their second meeting of the season. In front of 15,000+ we can assure you…
Gas South Arena played host to a solid matchup between the Vancouver Warriors and Georgia Swarm on Friday night. Going in, it was the tale of two different clubs as the Swarm were in playoff position and Vancouver was on the outside looking in.

Everyone loves a good rivalry game, right? The Saturday Night Showcase came to you from FirstOntario Center in Hamilton, as the Toronto Rock hosted the Buffalo Bandits.

The Albany FireWolves were atop the NLL mountain for a multitude of reasons. There’s a new feel in the air and the team was reaping the rewards of such good play, as they came into Saturday night’s contest against the San Diego Seals as arguably the hottest team in the league and riding a 6-0 start to the year. Hate to break it to ya, but an off night for…
