History will have to wait one more year for John Tavares. With only one goal in each of the last two games Tavares played in, he is still six goals away from taking the all-time lead in goals scored in the NLL. With any luck, the Bandits schedule next year will be favourable to allow John to break the record on home turf in front of his fans. They definately deserve it. Even without breaking the all-time record, Tavares still had a great year with 42 goals and 61 assists for 103 points. This point total was good for fourth overall in the league this year.
The playoffs start this coming weekend and the Bandits play Sunday afternoon at home at the HSBC arena where they will host the Minnesota Swarm. Buffalo beat Minnesota both games they played this year, 22-13 in Buffalo early in the season and then 16-15 in Minnesota at the beginning of March. The winner of this game will likely face the Rochester Knighthawks (the best team in the NLL this year) in Rochester the following weekend. Rochester, at 14-2, will host the Toronto Rock, 6-10, this Friday. Toronto has only one career victory in Rochester and lost both games this season versus Rochester (10-6 in Rochester and 19-15 in Toronto).
Let's Go Bandits!
