Bandits host the Rush on Friday night in Game 1 of the Finals. Halifax had a 2 goal lead with less than a minute left looking to tie the series at 1-1. But Saskatchewan scored with about 40 seconds left and got the ball on the faceoff. Halifax's goalie made the stop with about 16 seconds left. So, game over, right? Wrong. They turned the ball over on a serious stick check trying to get the ball over the midfield stripe just before the 8 second clock expired. About 5 seconds later the game was tied. Halifax then took a boarding major 1-1/2 minutes into OT and the Rush only needed 10 seconds to make them pay for that mistake. Had been hoping the MD 20-20's would win tonight to force the Rush to play an extra game before meeting the Bandits. Saskatchewan won the last time the 2 teams met in the Finals. So, pay 'em back for that and get the 3-peat. Let's GO BAN-DITS!!!!

The hope with Byram would be some team gets stupid and offersheets him with a 1st round pick level of compensation. Most of the teams that could do that are middling to fellow basement dwellers meaning we’d have another mid to early 1st potentially. Even better you could then use a conditional 2026 1st (the lower of the two) to get someone this off-season.

Insider info: Jokiharju is expecting to sign with Boston according to the guy who literally moved him to Boston last week. The mover plays on my one softball team

McDavid was ours. Don’t feel bad for them

Kraken maybe but I can't see the Bruins being interested. They're more likely to sign Jokiharju than to go after Byram. Certainly not if they have to give up a first. Their D is most likely Lindholm-McAvoy, Zadorov-Jokiharju, Lohrei-Peeke along with some depth guys they already have. You might be able to get the Bruins to gamble on Quinn, they need scoring forwards with skill. Also don't think Philly would offer up their 1st. They got Drysdale in that Gauthier deal and they have young D coming I think. Might be wrong on that.

They look like they think if they don’t get out of their seats, overtime is still going to happen.

What a finish love the look of the oiler fans

The crowd is still so confused

Draisaitl with another game winner

Omg haha. Somehow the crazy jets finish from last week is already eclipsed. In buzzer beater status of course, that was still a wilder finish because it was a game seven.

Might depend on how many D men get taken. I suspect he's early 2nd round so not impossible but you never know, big guys do get taken early sometimes.

I don't think you quite grasped the message of my post. The same 10 or so posters (guess), have hijacked SS and made it nearly unbearable. Take for example your post above. It's literally the same exact post that's been made dozens upon dozens of times. You seem to think it's an enlightened post but it's not. What it is, is boring. How many times do you think this has to be said? Here's what you don't get. I know many people that don't come here anymore because they can't stand the repetitive negative posts. I remember a time when I came here because there was so much hockey knowledge being discussed. I didn't grow up playing the game, except street hockey. So coming here helped me understand a sport I liked from afar but as I got older became my 2nd or 3rd favorite. TP didn't make SS the way it is. Hostile posters did. Every single thread, basically goes down the same exact roads.

Whats his analytics then

It was and it was controversial as it was the 1st "major" NA sports league championship trophy to be sponsored by & named for a corporate advertiser. WHA was ahead of its time in that regard.

I just always thought the name was funny.

Not unreasonable to Pegula he could care less about winning and even less about what we think... we are just the stupid little people he laughs at for still caring. There can literally be no other explanation for this level of incompetent depravity over and over and over again no one can possibly be that bad at what they do unless they are trying to.

Haha you are 100% correct but yeah that happened fast. Man, I really want Skinner to step up here like Hellebuck did. But so far not looking so good for him. I’m a sucker for a redemption story in sports.

Well. They DID look outclassed.

…

Vegas looks so outclassed.

The camera-work in this Vegas game is the worst. Choose a zoom-level, bro.

Skinner with a chance at redemption. *Stuart Skinner

they have palm trees tho..

Idk if he'll still be on the board, but yes. Very much yes.

Cropped out photo, I love watching them getting caught.
