Anyone got any plans for out-of-town trips to back the Bandits this season?

I've got 3, at varying stages of possibilities:

  1. Ottawa: Relatively easy to do(and there's multiple ways to get there: car, plane(all major Canadian carriers will get you to Ottawa)and VIA rail. Making it to the Canadian Tire Centre IS a bit tricky, but OC Transpo does run bus service to the arena on event nights. Bonus: Hockey is played the next night...either the Sens or the QMJHL's Gatineau Olympiques.

  2. Calgary: Tougher, in that flying is realistically the only way to get there. Good news: The Flames are playing the next night in case you want to add a day to your vacation.

  3. Colorado: Same as Calgary. Also, the Rockies have their first home series of the '25 season that weekend.

So glad I found this subreddit

Bandits are very underrated in the sports realm and often overlooked when compared to the Bills and Sabres. Haven’t been to a game in a while!

Looks like we have ANOTHER game locked in...

We're facing Saskatchewan in their home opener; date to be determined(either Dec. 6, 7 or 8th; JMO, but it's likely going to be the 6th...the WHL's Saskatoon Blades have a game the next night).

So start booking your flights.

2024 Draft 9/15/24

I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to who the Bandits .ay target in this draft? They hold 4 of the first 19 pics 3 of which are in the 1st round. I follow a lot of lacrosse but I am not into the Canadian box league player backgrounds because of lack of coverage in the US. I follow a ton of PLL and NCAA so I am aware of the cross over players.

Defense wins championships

Well Dawson, Martin, Priolo, Weiss, and Spanger. They are all back. They are doing everything in their power to convince Vinc to come back for one more year. Hopefully to find his replacement. Also just makes me wonder what there going to do in the draft this year they hold a ton of high draft picks. their isn’t a lot of wiggle room to get new talent on this roster.

Dawson??

What happened to h8m after the game I didn’t really see him anywhere or even hold the trophy? I mean the guy was a huge part of the change in the last weeks and the playoff run. Almost like he disappeared, of course some of that may because there isn’t the coverage there is for other major leagues as well.

Some items of discussion about the season.

First and foremost congratulations to the entire organization what a way to work thru the year and never doubt what you could do when many of us did.

Next could Dietrich and Tavares be one of the most tactical pair to be in the NLL together as a coaching pair and gm and coach. I mean these two were at the top of the lacrosse world in there time as players and now in their secondary lax careers are still beating up the NLL. They have an incredible eye for talent and are able to make the most out of what they have.

This team is going to have some tough decisions to make after they enjoy this one for a while. Paul Dawson does he come back, retire, or move on to another team. Spangler is going to come off of injury. Highfield is he left out just because there just isn’t enough room on the roster or does he have a high ceiling still and you keep him? Vinc at some point has to retire and what do you do about goalie are you finally going to start maybe splitting some time and get his replacement ready?

Finally, for now, looking at Albany and there youth and them bringing in what is widely considered a no brainer first overall pick and generational talent in Williams. Toronto still being as good as they are. SanDiego is no slouch. Also, some of the mid range teams that are just a move or so away from being in that top tier what is your thoughts on some of the rest of the NLL and who is looking to knock us off the mountain.

Just gone done watching game 2. What a gritty game.

Work 2nd shift and just watched the replay. What a wild win, had adversity staring them in the face in the 4th and just stuck to there game. That 6 goal run was such a wild ride.

Rock obviously look good but the Bandits seem to always hang around, even when it was 8-4 going into the 4th.

Great win Banditland, cheers to the finals!

Game 1 in Albany

Anyone traveling for game one? Ill be making my way to Binghamton from Long Island the evening of game one and was thinking about making a detour to Albany for the game depending on how much tickets are, but if I did go I’m hoping to sit near friendly faces, is there a section bandit fans usually sit in at Albany?

Confession

I must confess I'm by no means fair weather but I will admit I thought Toronto was in full control in second half of the third and walked away. I figured at that point Toronto only had to play goal for goal and close it out. It wasn't till I came back in from working my Australian shepherd that it was a one goal game.

So yes I confess I lost faith and I am sorry. How many hail Banditlands and wall ball sessions must I do to make it up?

Same ref in the 8 jersey

Aren't they supposed to change? That ref with the #8 on hist stripes has been at the last 4 games we played. Only reason I remember him is because he is a little fluffy hahaha.

OK, so here's our playoff scenarios...

With Panther City's 11-7 win against Albany today, this is how it shapes up(per Graeme Perrow's NLLStats.com and referenced by Dave Buchanan-who works on the Bandits broadcasts).

-#3 seed and a home game if BOTH Albany and Georgia lose. -#4 seed and a home game if EITHER Albany or Georgia lose. -#5 seed and we play on the road if all three teams win.

It hasn't yet mentioned the scenarios if Buffalo loses.
