NLL: Bandits gearing up for another run at league title

November 9, 2022

The Buffalo Bandits started the 2021-22 season perfectly. Literally. They were 6-0 to start the year before suffering their first loss February 12th in Toronto. In that 6-1 stretch, Buffalo beat teams like Calgary, Rochester, Toronto and New York, which was an overtime thriller at Nassau Coliseum. Their offense was red hot, defense was stifling, oh, and they had one of best goalies in the world, in Matt Vinc. Following…

Not sure if it was mind games, or something popped up, but we almost saw Eli McLaughlin for game three….

NLL: Bandits one win away from NLL title after Weiss’ last-minute game winner

June 6, 2022

It was an absolute electric factory at KeyBank Center in Buffalo for game one of the NLL Finals on Saturday night. Words, pictures and videos don’t do it justice, really.

NLL: Emotional 18-17 win for Bandits in game one over Rock

May 18, 2022

In terms of a lacrosse game, game one of the conference finals between the Buffalo Bandits and Toronto Rock was an instant classic. But for the Bandits and the city of Buffalo, it was far more. Tragedy struck the city of Buffalo Saturday afternoon, as a heinous, senseless mass shooting at a local grocery store left 10 people dead. The attack was racially driven, and that hits home to the…

NLL: Bandits first home loss of season comes at hands of Jeff Teat and NY Riptide

April 11, 2022

All season long, the Buffalo Bandits have been on top of the mountain. Very rarely do other teams absolutely dominate the Bandits in every facet of the game. In addition, this season opposing teams don’t come into Buffalo and win, period.   But the New York Riptide came into KeyBank Center Saturday afternoon and blew the doors off the building, 15-12, handing the Bandits their first home loss of the season….

NLL: Mammoth best league-leading Bandits at Loud House

April 4, 2022

Coming into Saturday’s contest, the Buffalo Bandits would be playing their fourth game in eight days. They won the first three in that stretch and were riding a seven-game winning streak.
