PromoTheRobot Posted November 19, 2021 Report Posted November 19, 2021 https://www.nll.com/news/national-lacrosse-league-signs-historic-multiyear-agreement-with-espn/ Looks like all NLL games, including the Bandits, will be available on ESPN through TV or streaming. Quote
Eleven Posted November 19, 2021 Report Posted November 19, 2021 10 games per year on TV. I think they've had more than that in the past. Quote

In the distant past, believe that's correct. But recently it's only been the Championship game. Altitude shows the Mammoth games, but that's the only team that had a local cable deal AFAIK. Will be nice to get the Bandits games w/ a reasonably high quality legal streaming service. 1 Quote

Doohicksie Posted November 19, 2021 Report Posted November 19, 2021 I might get into some NLL action. Fort Worth has a team this year (Panther City Lacrosse Club). Quote
matter2003 Posted November 19, 2021 Report Posted November 19, 2021 nice! I love NLL games...the most fun I have ever had at a sporting event Quote
sabremike Posted November 20, 2021 Report Posted November 20, 2021 BR had the streaming rights before Covid shut down the league. I'm actually a Wings STH as I went to a game after a Flyers matinee game in 2010 and had a great time. Quote

Taro T Posted December 12, 2021 Report Posted December 12, 2021 Amazing goaltending in last night's Bandits - Knighthawks game. Over 100 shots in total & only 20 goals scored w/ 1 of those coming with the Kin-ig-hits goalie out for an extra attacker. Bandits won 12-8, but it was really tight through the 1st 3. 3-0 Bandits after 1. 4-3 bad guys after 2. 6-6 through 3. Nanticoke is a beast. Was battling through 2 checkers all game. (And it was a friggin' battle.) 1st 2-0 start for the Bandits in 9 years. Quote

PromoTheRobot Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Posted December 12, 2021 Did anyone tell Rochester that the Knighthawks had a game last night? Quote
Taro T Posted December 12, 2021 Report Posted December 12, 2021 7 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Did anyone tell Rochester that the Knighthawks had a game last night? Pretty sparse crowd. ~1,500 - 2,000 would be my guess. About 40% of us in the crowd were Bandit fans. Building was filled comparably to how the MMArena was against Calgary but the Kin-ig-hit Hawks are essentially still an expansion franchise. Styres took the real ones to Halifax a few seasons ago. So, not all that surprising they haven't rebuilt a following. What's our excuse for last weekend's crowd? Quote

I think you still have a lot of Canadian fans not crossing the border. And maybe mask/vax mandates impact Bandit fans a little more? Quote
Taro T Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 If you have ESPN+ and like box lax, go back & watch tonight's Bandits - Rock game. The game is much better than the Bandits unis. You're welcome. Quote
I-90 W Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 The NLL is amazing, excited that Albany finally has a team again. Hopefully the ESPN deal will grow the sport, being able to stream all the games so easily is really getting me into it. 1 Quote
Taro T Posted January 30, 2022 Report Posted January 30, 2022 Bandits were lucky today they were playing the lowly Riptide. Vinc, who came in w/ ~0.870 save "percentage" was around 0.650 and the Bandits gave up a shortie & allowed the 'Tide to go 7-9 on the PP. Trailing 17-14 with ~2:00 to go, they got to 17-15 at 4v4 then got a 5:00 major & a 2:00 minute minor shortly thereafter and ended the game w/ 3 straight PP goals, the last in OT, to win 18-17. Without the parade to the box, they should've won going away, but lucked into eaking out a W against a bad 2nd year team. They are the NLL's only undefeated team & 1 of only 3 with 5 wins. Quote
bobs0108 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Posted January 30, 2022 They are looking good this year. When that offense is clicking no one will be able to stop them. The refs were calling every little thing this game on both sides Quote

I was thinking about getting season tix but would like Covid to settle down a bit more in the Lone Star State. Quote
Taro T Posted February 5, 2022 Report Posted February 5, 2022 FYI, For those w/ ESPN+, the Kin-ig-hit Hawks travel to Banditland at 7:30PM tonight. This is the 2nd of 3 meetings between the 2 and the only one in the MMArena. Bandits are the lone undefeated team in the NLL. Let's Go Bandits!!!!!!! Quote
Taro T Posted February 6, 2022 Report Posted February 6, 2022 Bandits went into the 4th up 10-4. Gave up the next 4 goals. Hung on to win 11-8. Kin-ig-hit Hawks goalie Hartley stood on his head. EASILY could've been 16-8 for the good guys. Fun game. Couple of fights (well really physical scrums more accurately). Bandits play the Rock next next Saturday in Hamilton at 5PM. 6-0 baby! 1 Quote
