Yaaaaaa!!!!
Back to back champions!! Game was pretty much never in doubt...Albany got it close a few times but Bandits responded like true champions and widened it back to 6 goals late in the game and it was pretty much done at that point...
Love this team...they are special...4 straight times to the Finals winning the last 2...too bad the Bills couldn't have taken a page from that book...

Just kicking some ass again all game...
Albany has never even been tied since it was 1-1 in the first quarter...

What was your impression of the Albany fans? Mostly interested in the number of them. I would like to see the league in general do well.
Albany had the second lowest attendance in the league this year with like 4700 average...Bandits led by a mile with an average of over 16.5K with Calgary 2nd at a little over 11K.
-
Bandits whooped some ass in the 2nd half, only allowing 2 goals while scoring 7 of their own.
Time to close it out at home for back to back ships...

Dad energy leader and development to a fault coach. No surprise. Spilled milk, we got Ruff and he has bark
Ruff is going to crack the whip but honestly the players need to be cracking the whip on each other, that's the only way it's going to work.
Can they do that? Remains to be seen. They have all the talent they need. They need the mentality and the attitude.

Damn...that's crazy athleticism in their family to have two pro players in different sports.

I watched most of the game. I'm not knowledgeable enough on the sport to intelligently comment about the play. What I can say as a sports fan is that this was an entertaining game to watch. What was impressive and stood out to me is that the house was packed and the fans were into the game from the start to the finish. It seemed as if 80% of the fans were wearing Bandit gear. Maybe someday soon our hockey team can elevate their play and earn their way into having a consistently packed arena with an engaged audience. We still have a way to go to get to that point.
Bandit games are the most fun live sporting events I have ever been to...
That includes Bills, Sabres, Bisons and an assortment of other NHL, MLB and NFL teams as well.
Honestly not even close IMO.

What a crappy goal to go home for year on...
Some weird bounce off the boards although it looked like they planned it. Nice move by Pastarnak, but still...
-
4th straight Finals appearance for the Bandits...hoping to win 2 straight and even their record at 2-2 over that time

Sorry, nothing is absolute. Not every company acts with complete disregard for their employees.
That's true. But you'll never know until you give them your notice and find out.

While I understand the sentiment, what kind of performance do you think said employee is going to give if he’s told two weeks in advance that he’s gone?
I’ve been fortunate, I’ve never had to let someone go that didn’t deserve to be fired and never had to close a place that others depended on for their livelihood.I’m not sure there is a pat answer for how to handle dismissal of good, reliable employees.
I do think that a twenty-five year employee deserves a severance package.
And why should the employee trust the company is going to allow them to continue working there for 2 weeks and not tell them to pack their stuff and leave?
The company wants the employee to think they act in employee's best interest when it's always the case they act in their own best interest.

As a professional recruiter/HR, there is no good or bad time to give the notice. I would give it As soon as possible as to avoid burning any bridges with the company you are about to leave. It is always a good thing when you can glo back to an older job you have with a better life!!
It's pretty funny. Companies don't give a crap about you when it's time to let you go and give you exactly 0 days notice most of the time yet they expect their employees to bend over backwards and "do the right thing" by giving them 2 weeks.
Which some places will decline and promptly tell you to leave, essentially leaving you 2 weeks with no income.
So why exactly is this still a rule?
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe if people stopped allowing this nonsense to go on and just called them up and told them they aren't coming in and they quit they would think a little more about doing the same thing to employees.
As it is they can play by whatever rules they choose but he employees are suppose to play tiddlywinks with them because it's "unprofessional" not to. Well, I think it's unprofessional when a company calls in employees that have worked there 25 years and sh!t cans them on the spot with no notice so they can pay the CEO more and upper management more bonuses.
As always, they want their cake while they eat it too.
Thank goodness more people are looking out for themselves first nowadays just like it always should have been.

They should call themselves the Utah SaltLickers and have the logo be a miner licking a hockey puck made out of salt

You’re gonna need more choices:
How can you be happy, what’s this guy ever won? Classic Pegula move.
God I want this to succeed, but it just ain’t gonna.
I mean at least he’s got some experience…
This is the best coach this team ever had and he’s one of us: I *****in love it!
Who is this guy anyway? Seems a little old to be a hockey coach.
Dan Bylsma won a cup how did that work out?
So did John Muckler and Scotty Bowman.

It was but it was a long time coming before the 9 seconds. They were outplayed badly most of that game.
That's kinda how they play all year and made the playoffs. Their goal differential was abysmal.

lol, Bruins fans going crazy with Ullmark hate (even though he actually played well) and screaming for Montgomery to be fired for not starting Swayman. Those guys mood swing like crazy. Guess that comes from high expectations.
Canes comeback makes them look destined. Only saw the end but what an end it was.
Now on to Vegas and oh look Stone's playing.................
That was an absolutely epic collapse by the Isles...pathetic...

Not a single OT game yet...surprising with how many have been one goal games.

Yikes. What a bad analogy
Yeah because going from 17 years of not making the playoffs to one of the elite teams in the NFL is so terrible

I like Ruff. I just don't have blind faith he's the best option or that picking him without a search shows good processes which is a hallmark of the Pegula ownership.
Seemed to work out pretty well for the Bills

Well, coaching won't be the reason we don't make the playoffs next year at least.

Idk what his portfolio looks like. Is the fracking business entirely sold? If so and like 90% of the family's wealth is tied to NFL franchise value, I think I'd be looking to mix it up a little too. The end isn't far away for the big man, and maybe this would allow him to give the kiddos each a big nut to work with on their own for their next 30-40 years. If I'm his kid, I'd like that better than having it all tied to a group decision and complexities of the sports franchise (approvals, blah blah blah).
His net worth has gone up by 3 BILLION to over 7 BILLION now since he bought the Bills so, I think he is doing kinda alright.
3 hours ago, nfreeman said:This is certainly an interesting development, although it's far from a validation of the random yobs on twitter the other day declaring that everything but the Bills was for sale.
My guess is that TP thinks the value of the Bills will continue to increase, and in the meantime he can take a big hunk of cash off the table and use it to fund stadium overruns so he doesn't have to come out of pocket for them.
He'll probably maintain control and the ability to pass it to his heirs. If they decide to sell the rest though, the 25% owner will be by far the top contender.
Basically the guy gets to pay an arm and a leg to sit in a cool box and talk to some people but have no control of anything.
Wonder who will pony up about 750 mil for the right to do that?

Those outdoor goalies have to be colored purple from the bruises they must get for a week after the games.
My guess is there are far more shots in box lacrosse similar to indoor verse outdoor soccer
