The Florida Launch traveled to Boston this weekend for a contest today at Harvard Stadium at 3:00. Today’s game holds major playoff implications. As I wrote in a column earlier this week, no team can clinch the final playoff spot just yet—there are scenarios involving Boston, Florida and the fourth place spot for now, Ohio Machine. With a Florida win, and Ohio win, Boston is eliminated from playoff contention. If…
Boca Raton—The Boston Cannons traveled to south Florida this weekend for their first-ever meeting with the Florida Launch. The Cannons won’t be very eager to come back after getting trounced 23-17 by a much better Florida Launch group tonight. Boston got off to a tremendous start, scoring off the opening faceoff, with a unassisted goal just 10 seconds into the game from Chris Eck. Play would get sloppy for a…
Hi ILWT Readers, Another week in the MLL and another one goal game for the Cannons. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end, falling to the New York Lizards in overtime. It was a unique match up given the circumstances regarding the World Games, as both teams were missing multiple world-class athletes at each position. With Chris Eck and Greg Gurenlian both out with Team USA commitments, I was given…
Boca Raton, FL—Everything is on the line for the Florida Launch as they host the Boston Cannons for the home finale of their inaugural season. After four consecutive losses, Florida needs to bring it these last three weekends to remain in playoff contention. A loss this weekend would more than likely eliminate any chance of postseason play. Back to back games against the Cannons and a season finale in Ohio…
The New York Lizards kept control of the third seed in Major League Lacrosse on Saturday with a 16-15 win over the Boston Cannons on the road. The Cannons drop to 5-6, the same record as the Ohio Machine, and they both are now tied for fourth place while Boston owns the tiebreaker. Both teams were without star players at the world championships. Boston was especially impacted, missing the second…
On Saturday, the Boston Cannons and New York Lizards will return to action for their first game since the MLL took a break for the FIL Championships in Denver, Colorado. The Lizards enter the game on a hot streak having won three straight games and finding themselvs in sole possession of third palce in the standings at 6-4. Meanwhile, the Cannons are an even 5-5 on the season and a…
Hi ILWT Readers, First off, I need to apologize for the amount of time between posts. Amid multiple commitments with my full time job and family, I haven’t had the time to truly sit down and recap our recent games. In an attempt to speed up the process, I will list the Cannon’s recent results since my last post: Week 5, 11-10 loss to the New York Lizards Week 6,…
It has been just over two months since the Major League Lacrosse season began and the Boston Cannons are currently sitting in fourth place behind the Outlaws, Rattlers, and Lizards. Despite being in a position where the postseason is a possibility, the road to the fourth seed has not necessarily been the easiest one. In fact, inconsistency has been the story of Boston’s season. For the Cannons, things started off…
