Cannons blast Outlaws 22-9, move into second place

July 5, 2015

Over thirty-one thousand people passed through the turnstiles of Mile High Stadium on Saturday night to watch the Denver Outlaws play host to the Boston Cannons. For the second year in a row, Boston defeated Denver on the Fourth of July. While the 2014 edition was at least a respectable affair, the fireworks started early and often inside the stadium as Boston took no prisoners in 2015, utterly trouncing the…

The Grateful Dead and MLL – Rankings Rise and Fall

June 30, 2015

How about a self-indulgent rankings theme this week? In addition to some great MLL games this weekend, the remaining members of the Grateful Dead played their first two of five final concerts, the Fare Thee Well celebration, out in Santa Clara, California. Looking ahead to this coming weekend, with more MLL and more Grateful Dead goodness, as Fare Thee Well descends on Chicago for three nights, let’s do the marriage…

The Hounds welcomed the Outlaws into the dog house this weekend, and the boys from Denver must have been wearing Milkbone underwear because the Hounds took a major bite out of their opponents, coming out on top 14-11. Kevin Cunningham did yeoman’s work for the Hounds, putting up seven points (4, 3) to lead all scorers on the night, and John Haus contributed 4 points (2, 2) as well. The…

Outlaws Look to Stay on Track Against Hounds

Everyone’s a winner! Well, at least coming into this week’s contest, but the Outlaws and Hounds got to go for ice cream after last week’s wins. The Denver John Grant Juniors took down the Rochester Rattlers in a 22-21 OT thriller, while Charlotte upset the previously undefeated New York Lizards. Both teams should be riding high from those wins and looking to build momentum. Charlotte needs to win out to…

MLL Week 10 Power Rankings: Pre-Playoff Playoff Push

June 23, 2015

Coming off the All-Star break there are five teams that are battling for their playoff lives. University of Denver head coach Bill Tierney talks about there being multiple seasons within the season, and in MLL right now most of the teams are in a pre-playoff playoff. If the race to the end of the line is as consistently good as this past weekend’s games then we’re all in for a…

MLL All Star Game: Houston A Success

June 16, 2015

Well that was fun. The MLL All-Star game provided a few hours of quality lacrosse entertainment on Saturday evening. I, for one, prefer this type of game as opposed to the Team USA vs MLL that takes place during FIL years. There is too much on the line in those games and they’re not as fun and free-flowing. But Houston got it dialed in really nicely. Let’s revisit the items…

2015 MLL All Star Game: What to Watch For

June 13, 2015

When you take a moment to think about it, what can really be said to preview an All-Star game? Almost regardless of the sport under examination, All-Star games are an exhibition of offensive skill. Sure, defenders are invited to show up, but really this is their moment to shine on the other half of the field. I’ll admit to writing this on Friday afternoon before the teams have been picked…

MLL Power Rankings: Week Ten

June 9, 2015

Some teams are struggling while others are surging, but one thing remains clear: MLL is a perpetual logjam. This week I considered getting a set of playing cards, pulling out Ace through 8 of one suit, blindfolding myself, drawing a card, and writing a team name on it, then removing the blindfold to see what the rankings were, but I was on vacation last week and didn’t have time to…

MLL At The Break: Denver Outlaws

June 8, 2015

0 comment

Halfway through the 2015 MLL season the Denver Outlaws are limping into the All-Star break. At the beginning of the season it seemed that Denver would function more like their mascot and simply reload this season. Yes, Lee Zink was a big loss, but the rest of the team was pretty much intact. The team just had to survive the absence of its NLL talent and then all would be…
