It was Marvel Superhero Night in Buffalo, New York Friday night, and there were plenty of superheroes to choose from. No, not Marvel characters, actual lacrosse players that took the floor. The Bandits played host to the Saskatchewan Rush, the first meeting of these two teams in over 2000 days. If you didn’t see this game, you need to rewatch it. Highlight-reel goals, tit-for-tat scoring, a Matt Vinc return, and…

The March to May is officially upon us and Saturday night featured two young teams with their eyes set on the ultimate prize. The red-hot Albany FireWolves played host to the equally dynamic New York Riptide.

For the first time since February of 2020, the Buffalo Bandits walked into Rogers Arena in Vancouver ready to battle the Warriors. These two clubs are eerily similar when it came to needing a win, badly. Buffalo, the reigning champs may I remind you, have been an injury-ridden, sputtering mess. Vancouver, the last place team, still was not out of playoff contention, but needed to string some wins together. Buffalo…

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…

The NLL’s Saturday Showcase in Week 12 featured two teams that were in similar situations, but at opposite ends of the standings. Both the Colorado Mammoth and Albany FireWolves came in on two-game losing streaks, but one of these things was not like the other. Colorado saw themselves on the outside looking in if the playoffs started today, and Albany was right towards the top. Regardless of the standings and…

The Halifax Thunderbirds took Marvel Superhero night very seriously.  Their Friday night home game against the Buffalo Bandits mirrored a script from a superhero movie. The Thunderbirds were down 8-2 in the second quarter against a team that has caused them the most trouble out of anyone in the regular season. Coming into this game, Halifax had lost five-straight games to Buffalo. However, the Thunderbirds came back and scored the…
