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…
The Denver Outlaws defeated the Rochester Rattlers by a score of 22-21 in an overtime shootout in the Mile High City. Dave Lawson led the Rattlers with five points (4 G, 1 A). The Outlaws got major contributions from John Grant (7 G, 1 A), Jeremy Sieverts (5 G, 1 A, 1 2-PT) who both totaled eight points on the evening, and Mike Bocklet chipped in six points of his…
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…
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…
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…
Marcus Holman had a game-high five goals and Tom Schreiber led the visiting Ohio Machine with seven assists on a chilly Friday night in Denver, en route to an 18–12 victory over the Denver Outlaws. The loss was Denver’s first home loss since July 4th, 2014, and only their second since midway through the 2012 season. Brian Phipps led a stalwart defensive effort for the Machine with 10 saves, several…
The evening was chilly with scattered rain starting around halftime, but the 6,700-plus fans in attendance walked out of the stadium with warm fuzzies and a home team victory. The Denver Outlaws rode off into the sunset on Sunday evening with a 17-10 victory over the visiting Chesapeake Bayhawks. The Outlaws were boosted by hat tricks from Cam Holding, Chris Bocklet, and John Grant, Jr., and the latter also contributed…
The Denver Outlaws traveled to south Florida to take on the Florida Launch on Saturday. Denver came away with a 15-12 victory, and we led by a 16 save effort by Jesse Schwartzman. Three different Outlaws registered four points in the contest: Eric Law (3, 1), Jeremy Sieverts (3, 1), and John Grant (2, 2). The Launch got four points out of Kieran McArdle (1, 3) and Casey Powell (3,…
Denver takes its talent to South Beach on Saturday. Well, an hour or so north of South Beach, really, but you get the idea. Florida is coming off their first win of the year. If the MVP is understood as the individual who is the most important to their team, is Kieran McArdle not that person? Most people’s knee-jerk response would be Paul Rabil, but put him on a different…
Sunday saw a rematch of the 2014 MLL championship game when the Denver Outlaws visited the Rochester Rattlers. What a difference a year makes though. The Rattlers handed the Outlaws their second defeat of the season by a score of 15-12. Attackman Jordan Wolf tallied a hat trick for the Rattlers, and five other players had at least two goals for Rochester. Mike Bocklet and Greg Melaugh led the Outlaws…
