Bandits' One-Season Records for Goalies

Matt Vinc claims another Bandits' record, this time for minutes played by a goalie. Anthony Cosmo, take a seat. Mike Thompson drops out of the top 10.  

Goalie - Year - Minutes
Matt Vinc - 2024-25 - 1,081
Anthony Cosmo - 2014 - 1,064
Matt Vinc - 2021-22 - 1,064
Matt Vinc - 2022-23 - 1,048
Matt Vinc - 2018-19 - 1,036
Anthony Cosmo - 2015 - 1,014
Matt Vinc - 2023-24 - 963
Steve Dietrich - 2003 - 838
Steve Dietrich - 2002 - 845
Steve Dietrich - 2006 - 812

But Cosmo still holds the record for saves in a season. Sounds like the team played good defense in front of him in cutting down (and blocking) shots. 

Goalie - Year - Saves
Anthony Cosmo - 2014 - 752
Matt Vinc - 2021-22 - 747
Matt Vinc - 2022-23 - 742
Matt Vinc - 2024-25 - 729
Matt Vinc - 2018-19 - 705
Anthony Cosmo - 2015 - 681
Matt Vinc - 2023-24 - 652
Steve Dietrich - 2002 - 586
Steve Dietrich - 2006 - 568
Alex Buque - 2017-18 - 515

Those two numbers obviously depends on games. Let's take a look at "first-string goalies" over the years, and see who has made the most saves per 60 minutes of work in a given year. Matt wasn't particularly busy in 2024-25 as these things go, as he was at 40.5 - a tenth less than last season:

Goalie - Year - Saves - Minutes - S/60M
Matt Vinc - 2019-20 - 476 - 627 - 45.6
Anthony Cosmo - 2017 - 437 - 583 - 45.0
Matt Disher - 2000 - 381 - 523 - 43.7
Alex Buque - 2017-18 - 515 - 710 - 43.5
Ken Montour - 2008 - 346 - 481 - 43.2
Bill Gerrie - 1992 - 159 - 222 - 43.0
Matt Vinc - 2022-23 - 742/1048 - 42.5
Anthony Cosmo - 2014 - 752 - 1,064 - 42.4
Anthony Cosmo - 2016 - 501 - 711 - 42.3
Matt Vinc - 2021-22 - 747 - 1,064 - 42.1

(Minutes are rounded off for convenience.)

Here's one last list - top 10 in save percentage by a Bandits "regular" goalie, and Vinc breaks into the top 10 again:

Goalie - Year - SPct.
Ken Montour - 2009 - .813
Mike Thompson - 2010 - .809
Matt Vinc - 2019-20 - .808
Ken Montour - 2008 - .808
Steve Dietrich - 2006 - .808
Matt Vinc - 2021-22 - .807
Matt Vinc - 2018-19 - .803
Matt Vinc - 2022-23 - .803
Anthony Cosmo - 2014 - .797
Matt Vinc - 2024-25 - .791

Bandits' Recent Win/Loss Streaks

Sometimes it's difficult to find out when the Bandits had lost won or lost a specific number of games in a row on relatively short notice. This saves me a step. The streaks are of an exact length. Obviously, a team that wins eight in a row also had a seven-game streak, six-game streak, etc. It's also regular season only.

Winning streaks
Last three-game win streak - 4/15/23 to 4/29/23
Last four-game win streak - 3/30/24 to 4/20/24
Last five-game win streak - 1/11/20 to 2/7/20
Last six-game win streak - 1/27/23 to 3/10/23
Last seven-game win streak - 12/7/24 to 2/14/25
Last eight-game win streak - 2/11/07 to 4/7/07

Longest multi-season win streak - 17 (2/8/92 to 2/5/94 - regular season only)

Losing streaks
Last three-game losing streak - 2/16/24 to 3/1/24
Last four-game losing streak - 2/24/18 to 3/18/18
Last five-game losing streak - 3/6/99 to 4/10/99
Last six-game losing streak - 3/1/13 to 4/6/13
Last eight-game losing streak - 3/21/14 to 4/26/14

Longest multi-season losing streak - 9 (3/21/14 to 1/2/15 - regular season only)
