Ch.23 must have loved Nanticoke's duel F-bombs during the celebration. #FCC

 

Shout-out for Kim P.👍

 

What a great crowd. Bandits fans are terrific.

Nobody posted but the final was 13-4. 

 

It was utter domination, especially in the 2nd half. Bandits never trailed in the game and the last time it was tied was before Byrne scored with 0.2 seconds left in the 1st quarter. A close 4-2 halftime game turned into a laugher by the 4th quarter.

 

Bandits D and Vinc were outstanding and for a while, Colorado's goalie was unreal...he was the only reason it wasn't like 20-4. He eventually started getting beat like a rented mule due to the relentless pressure the Bandits kept putting on tho.

Announcer: "They're celebrating from Orchard Park to West Seneca!" 😂

 

Yeah that was hilarious...replace OP with like Niagara Falls or Lewiston, and it makes more sense.

I was at the game and it was absolutely incredible. I'll never forget it. Both goalies played insane. The feeling to actually win the whole thing is something that is unmatched in sports. One day the Sabres or Bills will do it. Until then I'll remember this one for awhile. First championship in teams I cheer for since 2009.

I was at the bandits 2nd championship win back in the early 90’s. I think it was their 2nd championship anyway. Whichever was the first one they won at home…

 

but yeah, I still remember the experience to this day! The entire city went nuts. You could hear people cheering and beeping their horns when we left the arena. And the actual arena was crazy. Bandits games are a totally different experience.

 

My sister was at the game last night. She said it was amazing.

I've forgotten...who owns the franchise again? 🤔

I'm thinking that answer is Tom Golisano 😂

 

But really, great win. I think that Great Dhanes MVP was incorrect. I believe Vinc was much more valuable in games 1 & 3 than he was given credit for. That first half he made fantastic saves. Additionally 4 goals is an ALL TIME LOW for a championship game! That's impressive as the shot count was 50!

Great game congratulations to the 2023 NLL Champions Buffalo Bandits. A great night for this Bandits fans in my opinion. Go Bandits! Let’s Go Buffalo 

 

Hey, how about some credit for Terry Pegula for winning a championship?

I would think the owner would earn some credit since he gets all the blame when anything goes wrong.

Sabres goalies only wish they could have a save percentage of .920...

 

Agree with you with Vinc making unbelievable saves early on, and the entire D came to play...so many times Colorado didn't get a shot off or ended up having to settle for a long range hurried shot as time expired on the shot clock.

 

About the only thing that was annoying was how many rebounds Colorado kept getting and shot clock resets with Vinc making saves on those long shots only for it to go out of play and Colorado ending up with a fresh 30.

 

Overall it was just a dominant effort...Ward, Colorado's goalie was playing out of his mind in the first half too, but he started cracking under relentless pressure in the 2nd.

I knew that a lady I used to work with at my old real estate brokerage just got engaged to a Bandit. I didn't realize her fiance is Josh Byrne. They've been dating for like 5 years. She's traveled the country with Riverdance.
