Big Guava

Amerks sitting for almost 2 weeks between games?? That's crazy! They really need to do a better job with their scheduling in the AHL, that's a joke.

They called Chase Fraser a sicko for that one on TSN and were like "are you kidding me?? We waited til this point in the game of the semi-finals to see the goal of the year??"

McKay is just on fire in the playoffs with another hat trick and added an assist trick as well to finish with 6 points in the game to lead the Bandits... Now has 9 goals in 3 games...

It's over! 11-9 final! 5th straight finals appearance for the Bandits ..

Cannot believe the Blues choked away a 3-1 lead with under 2 mins left in the 3rd period, including the thing goal with 3 seconds left to lose in double OT...brutal way to go out...

Tied at 2 after the first quarter. Bandits jumped out to a 2-0 lead early, Vancouver tied it up with two goals later in the period... McKay on a tear with another goal, now has 7 in 3 playoff games

Why is Housley being in the HOF surprising? He has 1232 points as a defenseman which trails only Ray Borque, Paul Coffey and Al MacInnis for D-men all time.

Cloutier also back tonight as well.

9-3 Final... Vancouver ain't ready for this buzzsaw that are the Bandits in the playoffs. Only goals they scored were on the power play, they did not have a single even strength goal. That's absurd. Vinc with 35 saves. Vancouver got dominated tonight. Playoffs are a different animal and facing the 2 time defending champs and a team that's been to 4 straight NLL finals shows the disparity between a team that knows how to win big games and a team that doesn't.

8-3 with 7 minutes left in the game.

Bandit Defense/Vinc playing lights out again...up 5-1 with about 5 minutes left in the first half.

Not a permanent opinion, but he is going to have to earn more playing time if he wants to stay up with the Sabres. I have very high hopes for him, but at the end of the day he has to take advantage of the opportunity. All the seasoning in the AHL should definitely prepare him for that so when he gets his chance again hopefully he takes it and runs with it and never looks back.

No, a true comment No, bad goaltending.

Except in the NHL where he allows 4+ goals a game and has gotten progressively worse each year The Crunch got Crunched.

Just play the Mobland theme song... "It may feel bad It may feel bad It may feel bad I wanna see you alone, I wanna sharp the stone I wanna bounce the bone, I wanna mess with it I wanna lay the deville, the whole crew on the sill I want the preacher and pill, I wanna bless with it I wanna head to a mass and get cast in it That sh*t's funnier than any A-class, in' it? I wanna talk with the clown who has apologies down Pay him 300 pound to take a class in it I wanna bite the phone, I wanna bleed the tone I wanna see you alone, alone, alone, 'lone I wanna strait the shark and find me somewhere to park. Like the light when it's dark, it's dark, it's dark, dark A few stars about make it feel like peace in a way A complimentary round Constellation got a twist in it For a GPO and all the hits in it I'm gon' hit your business if it's momentary blissness I'm gon' hit your business if it's momentary blissness I'm gon' hit your business if it's momentary blissness I'm gon' hit your business if it's momentary" https://youtu.be/2fkd2Lco3nY?si=ridEe0HPf-n8GkWY

How are we playing game 3 tonight and they just played the first game??

Way too much unnecessary travel

Hopefully Chris Cloutier is back for them this week...he plays an important role on offense for them. Their D is typically just different in the playoffs...it's hard for other teams to get clean looks on goal...last year was the same thing.

Bandit defense is stifling in the playoffs usually...was last year, has been again this year. If they score like they normally do, they should take care of business.

Was at the game last night and man it was a tooth and nail battle the entire way. Very physical, refs let them play and very low scoring. Bandits took a 5-2 lead into the half with an amazing set piece behind the net goal with 0.1 second left on the clock. Then they never scored again. But they also limited San Diego to only 1 goal in the second half before they scored their final goal with 1 second left to make it a 5-4 final. Matt Vinc has 48 saves and was looking like prime Dominik Hasek out there with several unbelievable saves. Bandits even managed to kill off a 5-3 power play(thanks in part to San Diego taking their own penalty about 40 seconds into it). Definitely one of the more stressful and low scoring games I have ever been at for the Bandits. Goals were at a premium and it never seemed like either team could to truly ever gain any real momentum. Even moreso because the first round is a single elimination game before the next two series are best of 3. But the usual sell out crowd saw them pull off the win and advance to the next round... Let's Go Bandits!!

Dying is easy...living is much harder!

How can they say "they'll look at every single thing they can and do whatever it takes to get better and improve" when they won't even spend to the salary cap? Sounds like a bunch of BS.

Winning would fix all of that.

Well OK then...considering we have 2 games left and no playoffs it doesn't really matter anymore at this point.

I am pretty sure it's not Saturday today...just a thought.
