Crazy game.

Bandits had a ton of bad bounces/luck -hitting quite a few posts. I only was able to watch the 2nd half, but Dane Smith seemed like a non-factor to me. Isn't he our best player, correct me if I'm wrong.

I was told the game is streaming on Disney+ but i think i logged on too late. Will I be able to watch it the same way Saturday?

They had a bad night on faceoffs. Connor Farrell, their specialist, won very few. That's a lot of extra possessions for Saskatchewan.

Bandits lost too many loose ball battles last night. Gave the Rush too many extra possessions as a result.

The Rush were desperate, particularly in the 4th, and the Bandits weren't.  Too many loose balls lost.  Too many shots JUST wide leading to easy clears for the Rush.  Wyers had 1 bad minute (got beat on a 1 on 1 battle, then was off his mark on a shot he should've soaked and normally would've) in the middle of the 4th and the Rush ended up with 2 goals because of it.

They gave up a goal with less than a second left in the 2nd Q after having just about every single Bandit go into a very un-Bandit-like scramble leaving an easy nearly uncontested 3 on 1 shot to go into the 1/2 tied at 6.

Bandits might've been better off heading into the 4th down a goal instead of up by one.  Then THEY might've had some desperation to their game.

Saturday will be a good one.  Hopefully the Bandits win that "race to 11" this time.  They did Friday and didn't quite yesterday.
