After the punishing grind of a twenty-one week NLL season, the playoff hopes for the Calgary Roughnecks all came down to a final double-header. The 8-8 Roughnecks had earned the right to control their own destiny and their first chance to clinch came with a match-up against the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. Calgary jumped out to a 7-1 lead and then survived a furious Las Vegas comeback to win…
As famously stated by former US President George W. Bush, “Fool me once, shame on you… [really long pause]… fool me… you can’t get fooled again.” All kidding aside, after getting upset by the Roughnecks a week ago on home turf, the Buffalo Bandits were hungry to get to the rematch and show just why they are the class of the NLL.

The Rochester Knighthawks were on a mission. The whistle blew and a minute and seven seconds later the K-Hawks were in the lead. The visitors never looked back and when the dust settled on “Roughneck Rodeo Night,” Rochester rode out of Cowtown with a 15-10 victory. Rochester was coming off a 17-9 shellacking at the hands of Saskatchewan and definitely looked like the hungrier team on Saturday night. Ten first-half…

Week 8 in the NLL was a busy one. A full eight games over the course of four days had every team in action including the Georgia Swarm and Calgary Roughnecks. It’d been close to five years since Georgia’s last trip to Calgary which ended in a narrow defeat. In fact, the last three meetings between these clubs had been decided by a single goal and that trend continued on…
Ten first-half goals by the visiting Vancouver Warriors was just about all the firepower they needed as they battled their way to a 14-10 victory against the Calgary Roughnecks.

A lot of guys were sealing for me to get me open and I was feeling good going into the…
