NLL: Bandits find offensive spark, clinch league’s number one seed

May 3, 2023

Going into the final game of the regular season, the Buffalo Bandits and Albany FireWolves were in two totally different positions.

It is physically impossible for the Toronto Rock and Buffalo Bandits to play a boring lacrosse game. To make this contest even more juicy, the winner of this game would be crowned the number one seed in the East Conference going into the playoffs. 16,861 piled into KeyBank Center in Buffalo, prepared to witness, quite possibly, the game of the year. This game had it all. Stout goaltending, tons of…

It was a battle of New York State Saturday night in Rochester, New York. The Rochester Knighthawks played host to an Albany FireWolves team who have had a lackluster season, to say it nicely.

Shockingly to some, Albany came out red hot and…

Not only did they prevent Rochester from clinching a playoff spot, they kept themselves alive. On fan appreciation night, it was also a night of family…

Week 18 action started off from Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia as the Swarm welcomed the New York Riptide to town for game two of their home-and-home. Georgia has sneakily been playing their best lacrosse of the season and continues to climb in the standings. New York still has arguably the MVP front-runner in Jeff Teat, so anything can happen. Last week I spoke for most and said a…

Week 17 action was live from Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California on Saturday night. It was first in the West versus first in the East, as the Buffalo Bandits came into the 619 looking to show they were the better number one team in their respective conference.
