When a team doesn't score in the first few minutes of a game, its fans can get anxious. After all, the average total of goals in an NLL game is probably around 22. Besides, no team wants to be the first to be shut out - as unlikely as that is. (The Bandits have only blanked an opponent for an entire half once.) The thought to check the history came up during the Colorado game on 1/6/24. Sure enough, it was an impressive time.
Let's see how long the wait for the first goal can be (more work to do on this one). Here is the Bandits' list; both include playoff games:
Time - Opponent - Date
38:39 - @Rochester - 2/8/14
24:19 - @Calgary - 4/18/17
23:59 - @New York - 5/9/09 (Playoff game)
22:17 - Toronto - 1/10/14
20:51 - @Rochester - 3/4/17
20:12 - Rochester - 2/24/18
19:52 - Albany - 2/18/22
18:56 - @Saskatchewan - 1/19/18
18:21 - @Minnesota - 3/23/14
18:09 - Halifax - 3/10/23
And here's how long opponents had to wait:
Time - Opponent - Date
24:41 - Colorado - 1/6/24
24:40 - Colorado - 3/15/14
23:16 - Rochester - 1/25/14
23:00 - Calgary - 4/13/24
22:24 - Colorado - 3/9/13
21:37 - @Toronto - 5/5/17
20:52 - @San Diego - 3/25/23
20:43 - @Toronto - 5/1/10 (Playoff game)
20:27 - @Rochester - 4/19/14
20:22 - @Minnesota - 3/23/14
