Bandits Upbeat Following Tough Loss to the Pumpkins

TORONTO (Bandit Press)
Despite the excitement of Obamania on Tuesday, the Bandits lost a tough game to the mighty Smashing Pumpkins. A cleanly fought tilt between the bottom dwelling Bandits and the first place Pumpkin eaters, not one penalty was assessed during the entire game. Of course Richard B. only played the last two frames of the game, which certainly partially explains the anomaly. Barlow, whose examplary mellowness was infectious on his teammates, scored the lone two goals for the Bandits to the S.P.s six. Barlow could have easily made it a hat trick but the move failed him on a breakaway. Dennis Papadatos assisted on both goals to continue to pad his scoring lead on the Bandits roster. He currently sits in fifth place in league in scoring behind Smashing Pumpkins D. Jones (49) who leads all scorers with 27 points to Papadatos' 19 following last night's game.

Next game is a late one as the Bandits take on the nasty lads from Bone's Brigade on Jan. 27th at 11:10 on Rinx 2.
