Bandits Look for Double Win Weekend
The Buffalo Bandits will look to get their second win of the weekend after defeating the Minnesota Swarm 15-12 on Friday. Their opponent in this matchup will be the Rochester Knighthawks, undoubtedly Buffalo’s biggest rival. Rochester has struggled during much of the season so far, but looked to turn a corner after a convincing win against the Toronto Rock 8-6. While the Buffalo Bandits seemed to not miss a beat…
Bandits Look to Rebound Against Swarm
The Buffalo Bandits will look to rebound this week, after putting in a less than stellar performance against Toronto last week where they lost 13-11. Minnesota has been on a hot streak of late, beating New England in a comeback effort 19-13, and the week prior defeating Edmonton 14-10. The Bandits last weekend, seemed to hit the struggles I saw them hit in the pre-season. They’d play a great first…
Rock Look to Smash Knighthawks in Nest
The Toronto Rock will look to get a second win this weekend, after beating the Buffalo Bandits at home on Friday night, and stay undefeated on the season as they travel to Rochester to take on the Knighthawks. The Knighthawks have yet to win a game this season, and actually already lost to the Rock in Week One, 13-12. Toronto lately seems to be a team that just can’t be…

They have a tough schedule in front of them, and they’ll have to make some improvements if they want to be known as contenders come playoff time. The biggest thing the Bandits need to do is work on the powerplay unit. If the Bandits want to succeed, they need to capitalize…

Bandits Look to Rebound Against Rush
The Buffalo Bandits will look to get a win in their home opener against the Edmonton Rush. The Bandits played last night against the New England Black Wolves, in a game which saw the offense and special teams struggle, leading to a bitter 12-8 loss. They’ll have to make some big changes if they want to beat the Rush, a team that is probably the better of the two (Edmonton…
Analyzing the Bandits Rookies From Camp
The Buffalo Bandits picked up many solid rookies in both the draft and in the free agency pool. Here is the Bandits rookie breakdown. Jerome Thompson (Forward)- One of the most significant free agent signings in my opinion was that of Jerome Thompson. Jerome is the second eldest of the famed “Thompson Brothers” (others being Jeremy, Miles, and Lyle) who took the lacrosse world by storm. After originally being drafted…
