OT: Other Buffalo Sports (Bandits, Beauts, Bisons, NCAA Basketball and Football)

[Jim Bob]

This cracked me up:



I used to coach with a dad who once said "don't suck" and then his son took that up as the pre-game rallying cry for a while.

I'm a hockey goalie who has also played catcher and soccer goalie in the past. So, I am used to projectiles flying at me at high velocity.

I was a hockey goalie at the time. It was the sheer lack of equipment save for a stick that freaked me out lol

Also, not for nothing, but JT is one of the times someone who is a great because of their skills and mind is also a great at how to manage game situations and inspire others. It's rare to have someone who is one of the best players of all time also be such a dynamite coach.

Also... Naticoke seems like the guy who will take the reins from Smith one day. That man took over - love his answer when he talked about just taking what was given because he's a lacrosse player. Love that guy.

Gurts Fast Break: Bandits Take Crucial NLL Finals Game 1 in Thrilling Fashion

Attention, please The shape of things to come calls for the elimination of time and space. Yeah, that statement reads like something from a science report. But come to think of it, there are now several complex systems installed in the game of box lacrosse, so it is a bit of science. Not on

bandits.com

I’ve always loved Gurt’s breakdowns. He is so dialed in with the team.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Leading scorer in the playoffs. That's a huge break for the Bandits.

Wow! That’s huge. Fuccillo level huge for the bandits. 3.5 hours. I can’t wait!

Strong defensive first all around. Thought that Byrne goal was good, but it was not to be.

We thought it was good here too. My parents are here watching the game and my mom even went “that’s good but they won’t call it our way”.

Our offense has woken up now at least.

TSN going on about it being a good 2nd quarter for the Mammoth and I'm like... outscored 6-3 is good? Mmmm'kay. Riiiight.

 

[Chainshot]

Ward might want that one back, even if the time did run out.

 

[Mike McDermott]

I know the refs are mostly letting them play but there are some blatant things that Colorado is getting away with.

Just said the same thing to the lad - "letting them play" is one thing. Ripping sticks out of someone's hand is something else entirely.

 

[Chainshot]

Can't get shutout in two quarters and expect to win. Yes, the officiating was dubious and I hope like hell that I don't have to listen to TSN's open rooting for Colorado in the next game... but it's coming back to Buffalo for game 3.

Exactly. I don’t know if our offense was off or if their defense adjusted that well but that was not the typical Bandits’ offense.

With the Mammoth being able to basically just grab everyone without a call... could be their defense. Buffalo seemed to get fewer resets than Colorado did tonight offensively. Ward was very good too.

 

[Tsujimoto]

Already got my Game 3 tickets. Hope to see the Bandits win another title in person.

I was going to get tickets when I got up this morning but my son already got them for the family. We’ll be in 108.

 

[Mike McDermott]

We better be loud from the word go!




I trust that we’ll get it done and the mistakes fixed.

Early prediction: 14-12 Bandits

 

[Mike McDermott]

Game moved from 7:30 to 8:00.

Can we get someone other than the TSN crew for those of us watching from afar?
