Not surprisingly, Matt Vinc dominates the Bandits' top performances. He broke the "record" for the Bandits in twice in the 2023 playoffs, breaking his own mark in the championship final. Then he did it again in a game against Toronto in 2024. He has the top five percentages on this list, and seven of the first eight. For good measure, he has the record for opposing save percentage in a Buffalo game as well.
Think of it this way - in Bandits' playoff games since 2005, a goalie has recorded a save percentage of at least .900 five times. Vinc did it all five times.
The first list is for Buffalo goalies:
Name - Opponent - Date - Saves/Shots - Pct.
Vinc - Toronto - 5/3/24 - 53/57 - .930
Vinc - Colorado - 6/3/23 - 46/50 - .920
Vinc - Toronto - 5/12/23 - 52/57 - .912
Vinc - Albany - 5/17/22 - 45/50 - .900
Vinc - New England - 5/14/19 - 46/52 - .885
Cosmo - Toronto - 5/5/12 - 48/55 - .873
Vinc - Rochester - 5/6/23 - 44/51 - .863
Vinc - Toronto - 5/5/24 - 50/58 - .862
Montour - Boston - 5/2/09 - 47/55 - .855
Thompson - Minnesota - 4/22/07 - 38/45 - .844
And while we are at it, we can look at opposing goalies. Someone must play at least 45 minutes to qualify, and Vinc has that record too:
Name - Opponent - Date - Saves/Shots - Pct.
Vinc - New York - 5/9/09 - 41/44 - .932
Del Bianco - Calgary - 5/18/19 - 48/55 - .873
Ward - Colorado - 6/18/22 - 55/63 - .873
Jamieson - Albany - 5/7/22 - 49/57 - .860
Rose - Toronto - 5/5/12 - 36/42 - .857
Ward - Colorado - 6/11/22 - 40/48 - .833
Dobson - Georgia - 4/27/24 - 49/59 - .831
Bold - Saskatchewan - 5/28/16 - 43/52 - .827
Bold - Saskatchewan - 6/4/16 - 47/57 - .825
Nash - Colorado - 5/13/06 - 41/50 - .820
