6-4.  We need to bury them this time.

Let's go Bandits!! Watching on ESPN U...

Up 6-4 at the half...were down 2-0 early in the 2nd quarter and then went on a run. Colorado scored with like 1.5 seconds left to make it 6-4.

30 minutes to bring it home!

[Marvin]

7-6 Buffalo after 3.

[thewookie1]

Down 9-8 midway through 4th

[matter2003]

Bandits choking bad this game...down 11-8...Colorado with 5 straight goals...3 of them were boneheaded defensive lapses leaving guys wide open 

[matter2003]

Going to a game 3 back home...gonna need a much better offensive performance if they want to win.

[PromoTheRobot]

Shake it off. Win it at home.

[thewookie1]

It's over? Still has 4min on ESPN+

God dammit

I noticed that sometimes the Bandits' defencive discipline broke down in Buffalo.  Colorado took advantage of those lapses tonight.

One thing that worried me in game 1 was that although Buffalo had the advantage in possession for much of the game, Colorado's shots were more dangerous overall.  We saw that tonight again.

Bandits need to go back to playing their run and gun game...

Any word on whether Saturday's game will be televised?  (Not ESPN+, actual TV like last week.)

Not listed on any of the ESPNs on DTv yet.  But last week's game was listed as College Softball even during the game, so that in & of itself doesn't mean much. 

But the NLL Website says the game will be on ESPNU at 8PM on Saturday the 18th.

[Taro T]

And it'll be on TSN in Canada according to the NLL Website.

Let's Go Bandits!

[Eleven]

It's gonna be fun watching two screens again.

[PromoTheRobot]

Here we go. Let's get this one 

[PromoTheRobot]

Ugh. Caught Vinc napping on that shot.

[PromoTheRobot]

3-2 Bandits after 1. Ward, the Mammoth goalie, with 9 saves.

[PromoTheRobot]

Not Vinc's night. Giving up 5 on 8 shots. Ward meanwhile stopping 11 of 15.
