For their only being three games on the schedule, a lot happened!! Coming into this past weekend’s games, the Rock clinched a playoff spot, and the Edmonton Rush needed to win both games to secure a spot, impossible right? WRONG!!! After taking apart Buffalo 14-7 on Saturday night, the Rush go north of the border and kept Rockin’ and Rollin’ by defeating the Rock 17-12 and outscoring their opponents by…
This week is a very short schedule.. 3 games and only 5 teams in action. A lot is on the line as we make the push for the 2013 playoffs. Can Edmonton continue the torrid pace on the road? Can Calgary start winning at home and get back to the top of the West? Can the Rock roll and take advantage of a team playing back to back and win…
We went into Week 11 with two teams having a chance to clinch a playoff spot, and we left with the same two teams waiting to clinch. The Washington Stealth could of punched their ticket to the post-season with a win over Minnesota, but they were stung early an often inside the Hive as they fell 12-5. The Rock could of clinched as well. They held up their end by…
We got a chance to catch up with NLL commissioner George Daniel at the Toronto Rock vs Philadelphia Wings contest yesterday. Have a listen! George Daniel
In a season that resembles a see-saw, the Philadelphia Wings lost their second in a row, after winning three in a row. So far the see-saw has gone, Win 2, Lose 3,Win 3 Lose 2. The latest lost was to the division leading Toronto Rock by a score of 13-8. The Wings were without the services of Brodie Merrill (concussion) and defender Brett Manney (hamstring). Jeff Reynolds returned to the…
There was very little activity on the Wings front as far as trades as the deadline came and went yesterday. But today the Philadelphia Wings traded a 3rd round conditional pick in the 2013 entry draft to Buffalo for the playing rights of Goaltender Mikey Thompson. In 97 career games Thompson has a 11.53 GAA. This is a win/win situation for the Wings, If Thompson decides to play, he could…
As the trade deadline draws near (5pm eastern today) I truly do not see any trades being done by the Rush. They are solid between the pipes with Bold and MacDonald. The defense is just as solid with Rubisch, Lintz, Mydske and Cornwall just to name a few. And the offense…Mark Matthews is on pace to break John Grant Jr’s rookie record for goals in a season (37). Matthews is…
With the trade deadline only hours away, and the deadline for teams to sign free agents for playoffs is Friday March 15 at 5pm, I turned to the roster of the Baltimore Bombers of the NALL. Four names stuck out. Matt Alrich(D) Dan Marohl(F), Shaun Nadelen(D) & John Orson(D) Have to wonder if Head Coach Johnny Mouradian or any of the other GM’s will be dialing the house of Shaun…
Another exciting week of NLL action is in the book, and we are now starting to talk who will clinch a playoff berth every week.. Toronto can clinch a playoff berth with a win and either a Minnesota or Colorado loss. The Stealth clinch a spot with a Win over the Swarm. Toronto Rock 7-3 Friday night victory over a Mammoth team that stuck around til the fourth quarter, extend…
Goaltending: Its obvious to anyone who can see that Coach Mouradian has very little if any confidence in Kevin Croswell. This past weekend proves my point. As Brandon Miller was getting beat, normally you see a coach pull the starter for a bit to re-focus. That never happened. My suggestion.. Nick Patterson. He is a free agent after his release from Washington I liked Patterson over Crosswell, but before the…
