He was horrible as a hockey pbp guy, but is VERY good in that same role with the Bandits.

Good for him.

I barely remember him doing Sabres games. He must have split games with RJ at first because I seem to recall Rick taking over for Ted Darling early on.

Nope.  He was fulltime TV PbP guy.  Rick took over occassionally while Ted was still employed but when he was too sick to call the game.  When Ted finally retired, Gurtler was his fulltime replacement.

And if you dialed 1-800-333-PUCK to hear how the Sabres did the night before you'd get a canned recap of some of his calls.  But if you clicked through to a human to ask which Satellite Feed the Sabres game would be on, he would often be the person answering.  Talked to him quite a few times when that 800 # was a thing.

Not looking great right now...Bandits been behind since the get go down 2 goals multiple times...10-9 currently. 

6:30 left in the 3rd quarter..

Bandits trying to seize momentum but Saskatchewan constantly answers.

 

EDIT: 11-10 Bandits now...that was quick...

Dhane Smith NLL OPoY. But Saskatchewan has two players with post season awards, including goalie of the year.

It's going to be tough having both the Amerks and Bandits playing at the same time tonight.

Don't care who they SAY is the best goalie.  The ACTUAL best goalie put on a clinic after the 3 minute mark.  No goals at all given up for the last 1-1/2 quarters.  With some absolute highlight reel saves.

My boy MacKay continued to show us why they've moved him from transition to (nearly) full-time O with 4 of the Bandits 1st 8 goals.

Smith set the all-time playoff record for scoring as he became the 1st player ever to surpass 200 playoff points in a career.  He finished the night with a hatty and 5 helpers.  Buchanan also had a hatty.  Byrne and Frazier rounded out the Bandit scoring.

Can take their 3rd consecutive and 7th overall championship Sunday night at 8PM Eastern in Saskatoon.  Game will be on the same networks this one was (ESPN+, NLL+, TSN, TSN+).

LET'S GO BAN-DITS!!!!!!!!
