Photo Credit: Dan Brodie 1—Can the Edmonton Rush remain undefeated? This is a classic trap game as the Rush could be looking ahead to next week’s match up on the road against the Calgary Roughnecks. For Vancouver, they have lost six of their last seven and have been idle since February 15. This is the last game before the trade deadline for Vancouver; it should be interesting to see what…
The trading deadline may be 12 days away, but the Philadelphia Wings have gone out and signed Stephen Hoar to a one year deal and placed him on the active roster making him available for this weekend’s matchup against the Rochester Knighthawks. With that move the Wings have placed Michael Diehl on the practice squad. Hoar who stands at 6’2″ and weighs 215 pounds will obviously add size to the…
In a game that is sure to be remembered, the Edmonton Rush improved to 8-0 as they defeated the Toronto Rock (4-5) 11-10. Edmonton’s undefeated start ties the NLL mark originally set by the 1993 Buffalo Bandits. The Bandits finished the regular season at a perfect 8-0 and won twice more in the playoffs to win the title and end the season 10-0. Matthews, Conway, and rookie Riley Loewen each…
Tonight the Toronto Rock (4-4) will face off against the Edmonton Rush (7-0). This is the first game of back to back for the Rock as they spend the weekend in Alberta. So far not a single team has been able to put a dent into the armor of the Rush. Since 2013 the Rush are 11-1 on the road during the regular season, and just 5-6 at home…
The Philadelphia Wings (3-7) hoped to take advantage of a Swarm team(2-7) that played just finished playing 19 hours ago. But it was not to be. The Swarm stung the Wings with a 15-14 victory. The Wings started off quick scoring four times and chasing starter Zach Higgins. Tyler Carlson didn’t fair much better as the Wings took a 7-3 lead after the first quarter. As the second quarter started,…
Today the Philadelphia Wings (3-6) will face the Minnesota Swarm (1-7). The Swarm are coming off a 14-12 loss last night to the Toronto Rock. After three quarters the Swarm were down 13-4 before putting eight goals in the final quarter. So the question here is did the Swarm shoot their load, or was this a start of momentum coming into this afternoon? The Swarm all season have either had…
It may have taken the Knighthawks (5-2) the first quarter to wake up, but when they did they had a 17-9 victory over the Toronto Rock (3-4). When the game started it seemed like the Rock were going to roll easily to a victory. Captain Colin Doyle scored four times and gave the Rock a 4-2 lead just 19 minutes into the game. It would also be the last time…
Tonight the Edmonton Rush (6-0) will travel to the twin cities and face the struggling Minnesota Swarm (1-5) at 7 pm ET. When the season started the Swarm had a shut down defense, but the offense was failing to produce. Now the offense is starting to click but the defense has more holes then swiss cheese at times. Currently the Swarm are 0-2 at home going into tonight’s contest. The…
This week the Philadelphia Wings (3-5) shuffle off to Buffalo (or should we say shovel after the latest snow storm), to face the Bandits (5-2) at 7:30 pm Saturday night. The Wings are coming off a lost weekend where they fell 20-10 to Toronto, and then fell 8-6 in a defensive battle against the Edmonton Rush. The Bandits are coming off a 9-6 loss to Rochester which saw their five…
The Philadelphia Wings struggled this weekend with two losses. Despite this, storylines have followed them everywhere they go, with the return of Brandon Miller in net and Jake Bergey’s number being retired. With the two losses this weekend, the Wings fell to fourth place in the East Division standings. After the loss to the Edmonton Rush on Saturday night, we caught up with Miller and defenseman Eric Hoffman. In three…
