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

[NotABadPeriod]

Bandits get their revenge with a one-goal win in San Diego.

Vinc and the D absolutely shut the door in the 4th.

 

[Jim Bob]

The sell off in Toronto has begun!



Adam has said the rumor is that de Snoo is headed to Philly.

How do these trades go down?

From what I understand Professional Lax players usually still work a full time job.

You get traded you're kinda screwed?

Between the Bandits' offense being MIA, the Great Value Howard Cosell play-by-play guy and the eye-searing neon green turf, this game has not been easy to watch so far.

Yeah the turf makes it hard for sure. Both goalies have been absolutely standing on their heads.

Vinc and the D stepped up in the 2nd half, as they usually do. Ho hum, another day, another win. Let's Go Bandits!

I've wondered that too.

There was a guy back in the early years of the Bandits (Kevin Alexander) who would fly in for game days and then just go home to Vancouver. He was a faceoff specialist and IIRC the team footed the bill for his flights.

There are enough of these guys in other leagues that it's more of a multiple paycheck thing - NLL league average is about $85K, PLL is something like $28K but not for a full year of work so guys are able to double dip. Then there are folks like Belter who is a college coach and a player or a guy like Dan Dawson who when not at games in Buffalo is a Canadian firefighter. I doubt most of the guys working other jobs are in traditional 9-5, clock punching scenarios.

Appreciate the insight!

Having a moment since I just realized that Kevin Alexander is going to be 70 years old this year.


Faaaak.

I learned 2 minutes ago that Elvira is 73

And isn't straight. So yeah.

Back to the thread - glad to see the Bandits ground out a road win and stay atop the standings.

That's a hell of a troll job

This was sick passing.

We need a big 4th. Calgary is playing us tough.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Entire team feels off...Vinc especially.

We didn’t play our usual physical style and had no answers to what Calgary was doing on either end. We face them again next week. Can’t have a repeat.

Not local but here is the first goal in the history of Westchester SC (New USL League 1 club in my neck of the woods), game finished 1-1:
