Hamilton, ON – The Toronto Rock (#1 Seed) will take on the Buffalo Bandits (#4 Seed) tonight at FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, ON. It’s game one of the best-of-3 NLL Semifinals series between two bitter rivals.
The Buffalo Bandits are the defending NLL Champions and have ended the Toronto Rock’s season in each of the last three seasons in the second round of the NLL Playoffs. Despite the Rock’s 15-3 season, the only team they failed to beat at least once was, you guessed it, the Buffalo Bandits who won both head-to-head meetings this season.
Last weekend, the Rock’s defence and goaltending stole the show in a 9-6 NLL Quarterfinals win over the Rochester Knighthawks. For the Bandits, getting to the semifinals wasn’t as easy. They needed a Josh Byrne overtime goal to sneak past the Georgia Swarm in front of a packed house in Banditland.
