Taro T Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Will be interesting to see how this one plays out. Just like the Bandits are Hamilton's kryptonite, the Firewolves have given the Bandits fits this year and last. (Bandits only win of the 4 came last year in the weird game where both teams only scored at the end where the Bandits' bench is and the Bandits scored more in the 2nd and 4th Q's than Albany had scored in the 1st & 3rd Q's. BUT, Albany hasn't faced Buffalo since they signed Ferrell which means Albany won't win pretty much every single faceoff. And the Bandits D and Vinc himself have been significantly improved this season since trading for Dawson and getting Weiss and the Robinson brothers back healthy. Expecting (hoping?) the experience of the Bandits is enough to overcome the Albany firepower and goaltending. But wouldn't have any money riding on this one. It should be a great series.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Just landed in Albany. Grabbing a slice at Sapienza's (excellent) before heading to City Beer Hall, where supposedly Bandits fans are meeting. Still early but only seeing Bandits colors.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Inside City Beer Hall. 5 tables and the bar, all Bandits. Have not seen anyone in Firewolves gear yet, but it's early. Shout singing breaking out. 5:45: packed, all Bandits Edited May 17 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Lower bowl holds 6K. I'm going to guess it's going to be just over 5K. Of that a [edit] quarter are Bandits fans. Edited May 17 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last game he was going against 1 of the 2 best FO men in the league - Victor's own TD Ierlan. He was fine that game and good enough again tonight.

Stads Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Dhane Smith had 11 points. Current MVP Bryne and him are hard to beat together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Just now, Stads said: Dhane Smith had 11 points. Current MVP Bryne and him are hard to beat together Yep. Needed 6 assists to top his coach on the all time playoff assist list and ended up with 9. Will be interesting to see how the youthful Firewolves deal with the adversity of a must win game in a sold out enemy barn. Let's Go BAN-DITS!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Guava Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Bandits whooped some ass in the 2nd half, only allowing 2 goals while scoring 7 of their own. Time to close it out at home for back to back ships... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Good to see this. I don’t get to see the lacrosse game very much but it’s nice to see Buffalo had a strong team that wins. It’s something positive for the sports fans and the team deserves more honors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly interested in the number of them. I would like to see the league in general do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
