Let's go Bandits! The quest for a 3-Peat has begun

[JoeSchmoe]

Congrats to the Bandits and all their fans in here!

I've only been to a few games over the years, but it's a blast. Full respect to all the players, many of whom have day jobs and families, but keep doing it for the love of the game.

Some players manage to make a living playing indoor (NLL), then outdoor (PLL), and hold lax camps in between.

Wow. That Vinc doesn’t give you anything to shoot at. I know the D is the thing, but having him sure doesn’t hurt.

He has now 3-Peated as Champion TWICE in his career with 2 different teams...probably the only player in history of sports perhaps to have that honor.

Terry and his non-meddling. Hire the right people, empower them and stay out of the way. A recipe for success.

I'm not huge into Lacrosee, but it's definitley a fun sport and atmosphere. Buffalo really gets into it and it's cool to see the city support them.

With that being said, I'm not sure there's been a more dominating performance of a Final in a half like I saw yesterday. Zero goals allowed in a half of a winner take all game that was 7-6 at the break. It was an absolute clinic in strategy and execution. 

 

God I wish we could see even a semblance of this from our boys on blades.

I was traveling and on the road.  Missed it.   I’ll stream it on ESPN+. 

Congrats to Bandits and their fans.  Three-peat.  

Will they have something downtown, a rally or something to congratulate them?

I read that as “tax” camps and spent ten minutes of my life wondering why lacrosse players had special insight into tax laws.😔

I mention the bat and it conjures up Eleven (no one fact check the timing; it's 2025 and facts don't matter).

I'm tellin' ya, that bat idea will return EVERYTHING Sabres to glory.

Potential 4-peat has gotten harder. Fraser and Cloutier signing with Las Vegas.

Going to a land of palm trees and no state income tax.

Byrne's sis-in-law told me at lunch that Fraser was traded, not a free agent departure.

 

 

But seriously, that is what Byrne's sis-in-law told me.

So that's what they call it these days?  "Having lunch"? 😏

Was there stuffed tuna being served?

She’s got it wrong. LV offered him a six-figure salary. There aren’t many of those in the league.

I like visiting Vegas. I wouldn't live there full time.

How long is the season? He can be out of there right before the summer heat really kicks in.

True. Season runs Dec-May including playoffs. But it's not only the heat, it's the barren nature. After growing up with trees, greenery and water, rocks, rocks and more rocks gets old fast.

It's only 18 games I believe but it runs Dec-May since games are once a week most times.
