Shit!

 

[Mike McDermott]

The Bandits look off at both ends of the floor so far tonight.

 

[Mike McDermott]

So apparently you can blantenly and purposefully hit Dhane across the face with the butt end of your stick and only get 2 minutes for roughing.

Tough OT win for the Bandits tonight. Lots of guys banged up in this one. Luckily they're off next week, hopefully they can get some guys healed up.

Yeah it was certainly a hard fought win. The offense was certainly banged up a lot. You could tell when the team came out in the 2nd half Dhane just knew he had to put the team on his back and he did.



It was probably the most entertaining game with the most the crowd has been into the game (which is saying something for Bandits games cause they are always pumped up) so far this season.

Oh and this was awesome. Go Rax!

I have a feeling this means some of the injuries from last game are going to have guys out extended time.

I hope that means Fraser is healed up and able to play.

Odds are, he is.

And if memory serves, Cloutier may be close to returning. Unknown about Byrne, though; I'm heading up to Halifax for the weekend(to see not just the Bandits/T-Birds, but also a little QMJHL action; Halifax is facing Cape Breton)so I'll get to see it for myself.

They can certainly use the abrasive game and big righthand shot options from Fraser. Cloutier has been a big missing, hope his knee is healed.

I remember seeing a players poll from The Lax Mag website before this season started, and-among other revelations-it noted that Fraser was voted as the least liked player in the league...probably due to said abrasive nature of his play. Mind you, I LIKE Fraser's game but I can see why he's loathed by other teams/players. Insofar as Cloutier, IIRC he injured his thumb a few weeks ago.

Fraser is LAX Hunter/Marchand. He's SUCH a dink. But he's our dink.

Intense hard fought win last night.

Hopefully he continues to use the wooden shafts his dad makes him as a pro!

His father makes the shafts himself. Post has taken every faceoff in college with one.

No Bombary, no Martin? Mr. Vinc, you are going to be busier. But Cloutier and Byrne back is huge. I supposed they will be like the Sabres and try to just shoot their way out of issues.

This is true. At least the Bandits have the ability to do that if needed. Smith can also put the team on his back if needed but him having his right hand man back in Byrne is huge.

 

[Chainshot]

Based on the first half, nice to have Cloutier and Byrne back with two each.

 

[Chainshot]

Fitting after that amazing one-man goal was waved off for the shot clock that Cloutier gets the OT winner.

I can never watch the Bandits ever again. I watched the entire 3rd quarter. From up 5-3 to down 8-6.

Glad they overcame my curse.
