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

Deal with them like they dealt with the Rock. Beat their asses.

I love the grandma in the front row after Smith's last goal just going OFF.

“Population of Smithville”? RJ is suing for copyright infringement as we speak.

Freakin enjoy it, man.

The biggest LAX fan in my household isn't even in the country to enjoy this. Ah well. I did message him "when you check the score, it's not wrong, don't refresh".

 

[Chainshot]

It's been 15 years. Feels good man.

No interest in lacrosse, but looks like they're about to win the champ?

Good stuff. A championship to Buffalo

Still room on the bandwagon.

Cool to see them dominate in the deciding game, and at home. Needed that after the Amerks

Congrats from the Loud House, Banditland. Both goalies played incredible games but only one offense showed up.

Sucks to lose but at least we know y'all appreciate it. Hopefully next year we can meet you for another Finals, this time with both teams fully healthy.

Only 2 teams have more championships. Colorado and Toronto each have 6. Hopefully Buffalo can match that next year!

I also learned they are the longest tenured franchise in their city. No team has stayed in one city longer.

Pretty cool having one of the original, and most successful teams in the NLL.

From Byrne lighting Ward’s ass up, to the defense and Vinc being a brick wall, to goals 10-12 being beautiful scores from role players to completely slam the door shut, to Tehoka dropping a bunch of F bombs on live TV, what a ****in way to win it all!

And the Bandits attendance over the entire stretch puts those other teams to shame. No one loves their team more than Banditland.

Yep. And in terms of the city, the old AHL Bisons won 5 championships (their banners should be in the arena) and the International League Bisons won their league on 10 different occasions. The Bills have their 2 AFL championships and that's the extent of it.

 

[Chainshot]

Fewest goals the Mammoth had scored in a game prior to tonight? 6. Fewest goals scored in an NLL championship game? Also 6 on two previous occasions. The Bandits defense goes into the record books with this one.

 

[Tsujimoto]

Great game tonight. Vinc was amazing. Byrne was amazing. Smith was amazing. Everybody was amazing. Let's Go Bandits!!!

Congratulations to the Bandits and Buffalo! Hope the city celebrates tonight

Colorado only has 2, unfortunately (not counting the one from 1987 when they were the Baltimore Thunder). You're thinking of Philly.

6: Philadelphia Wings and Toronto Rock
5: Rochester Knighthawks and Buffalo Bandits
3: Edmonton(1)/Saskatchewan(2) Rush, Calgary Roughnecks, and Baltimore Thunder(1)/Colorado Mammoth(2)
1: New York/New Jersey Saints (folded 2003), Georgia Swarm, Detroit Turbos (folded 1994), Washington Stealth (today's Vancouver Warriors)
