Not only is it addictive, but it's only a matter of time before we find out about games being rigged by players or refs betting on games. Even leagues massaging outcomes. It's the beginning of the end IMO. That said, I do enjoy dropping $10-20 on the odd game. I hate to admit it but I had such a bad feeling about the Bills I put a small wager on the Pats last night.

A perfect opportunity to make folks forget about Monday night.

How do you explain it? Bad luck?

Sorry I asked then. But I think this is one of those cases where analytics obscure what's actually happening in the ice. Goaltenders are not miracle workers. If you can't defend your end no goalie will help you win

Sorry. Not buying it. I know what I see. Too many guys left open while we're chasing our tails in our own end. Swap goalies all you want. Nothing significantly changes until you fix the D, unless you're good with losing 4 or 5-2 instead of 6-2.

Where is the stat that takes into account the breakaways off turnovers at the blue line?

What consequences does Dahlin suffer other than looking like a tool costing his teams games? Sure his demeanor says it weighs on him, yet the mistakes keep coming. To the point that other team know to target him when he has the puck.

How many goals are the result of one certain player who can't stop coughing the puck up, especially on powerplays?

So it's your opinion that Adams doesn't see goaltending as a problem.

You need a backkup.

I'm certain that will happen.

And what basis are you assuming Karmanos would immediately fix the goaltending issue?

This is shocking.

4 NLL Championships and 11 division titles, including 2019, the last season played. The Bandits have led the league in attendance for forever.

Hardly.

Did you see the crowd photo for the Bandits home opener? Explain that to me.

By firing Adams and clearing house again?

Oh FFS. The kids needs a time out. If that's how he responds then he's trash anyway. Can you recall any player who makes goal-a-game blunders and bears no consequences? They want Dahlin to learn but all he's learning is he's not held accountable at all.

My guess is this season and next.

I know that would be great fun but it isn't happening.

That's easy to ask for but tougher to accomplish. I doubt there's anyone good on the beach right now. And the worst time to go shopping is when you're desperate. Adams didn't panic with the Eichel trade but it took forever to get done. I don't know how soon a goalie deal can come together

I feel like they do have a plan. But people can't bear to wait another 3 seasons for it to develop. That itchiness for a quick fix got us where we are now. ZFG GM Tim Murray emptying our prospect pool for nut jobs and bad eggs. (You can guess who I'm referring to.) Nothing ever works out exactly as you plan, and the goaltending issues this year are an example of that. But we have players that are shining at every level: NHL, AHL, college and juniors. We just have to fight the urge to do something rash for a quick fix. To be honest my bigger worry is whether Buffalo is a viable sports market going forward. I think we all took for granted our friends across the border. But that extra couple hundred thousand population makes a big difference for not only the Sabres but the Bandits. It's really sad too. When I was 11 I used to pedal my bike over the Peace Bridge and it was no big deal. Now it's a freaking interrogation. We are getting too used to not visiting each other. We can't lose that closeness. If people feel like it's too much bother to come to town for games I don't know what our long term prospects are.

Don't you mean "say what I think is happening?"

That crowd for the Bandits home opener was an embarrassment.

It's not like we want Dahlin to NOT make mistakes. Better we cover them up.
