ChevyVanMiller Posted April 26 Author Posted April 26 Bandits beat San Diego 5-4 in the lowest scoring playoff game ever. It wasn’t pretty, but they move on to the next round. 3 Quote
Big Turk Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) Man that game was stressful as hell last night! Lowest scoring game I can ever remember being at or even seeing a score line on... Bandits pulled off a 5-4 win even tho they were shut out the entire 2nd half. Super physical right from the get go, great goaltending from both sides... Vinc had 48 saves for the Bandits and was looking like Prime Dominik Hasek with several unbelievable saves, some in quick succession on rebound chances after the initial shot. Bandits scored their final goal on an amazing set piece play with 0.1 second left on the clock in the first half. Goal held up after a challenge and it turned out to be a critical goal as they would get stonewalled in the 2nd half. San Diego scored once and then failed on a 5-3 power play(in part because their guy took a penalty about 40 seconds in to make it a 4-3), then after the Bandits missed a glorious open net opportunity to seal the game, scored again with 1 second left on the clock to make it a 5-4 final. I don't think I have any nails left after that one...surprised I didn't start gnawing on my fingers 🤣🤣 But they survived and advance to the semifinals and a 3-game series instead of the single elimination game like last night, looking to go for a 3-Peat. Let's go Bandits!! Edited April 26 by Big Turk 2 2 Quote

BananaB Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Hoping they play Halifax in the finals. Give me a reason to head to Buffalo and get some wings. Normally get to a Bills game every year but couldn’t swing it last year. 1 Quote

CDB has been playing great and Vancouver hasn't lost a game since acquiring him. IMO, this series is really the championship game. I don't see the winner of Sask/Halifax beating either the Bandits or the Warriors in the finals. 1 Quote

IMO, this series is really the championship game. I don't see the winner of Sask/Halifax beating either the Bandits or the Warriors in the finals. I'm always trusting the team that has been to 4 straight NLL Finals and won 2 NLL Cups in a row over a team that hasn't until proven otherwise. Being in those high pressure situations before means something that cannot be gotten any other way. 1 Quote

I don't see the winner of Sask/Halifax beating either the Bandits or the Warriors in the finals. The past two games with Hutch in net and Theede not forcing the ball at the net has been the best Halifax has played all season. Maybe in a couple years. Better goaltending and not as many negative plays. They keep doing that and they can beat anybody. Giving up fast break goals off bad shots or turnovers trying to get to the net has always been their downfall, they are finally starting to clean it up. 1 Quote

Big Turk Posted yesterday at 01:57 AM Posted yesterday at 01:57 AM (edited) Pure domination tonight. 9-3 final over Vancouver who only was able to score on the the power play, they had 0 even strength goals. That's absurd. Vinc with 35 saves. Bandits broke a 7 game win streak for Vancouver and the last time they had even trailed was at the beginning of the streak against the Bandits early in the game. Too much intensity, too much defense, Bandits are simply stifling in the playoffs like last year. Every shot is contested, shots get blocked, shot clock routinely runs out with teams trying to find an open lane...it's wild to watch. Edited 18 hours ago by Big Turk 2 3 Quote
Redblood Posted yesterday at 05:23 AM Posted yesterday at 05:23 AM I try to watch some but its a struggle. Bills football cant get here fast enough Quote
BananaB Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago What a ***** game in Halifax. Was hopping to be 2 dubs away from heading to Buffalo after tonight but now it’s 3. Hopefully the owner puts winning above playing his son the next few games. Not that it would of mattered tonight but I would definitely make a difference moving forward 1 Quote

I can't stand hockey. I quit trying to watch it decades ago. The officiating was joke, some of the rules were just stupid, and just the overall construct/behavior. Quote
