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…
The Boston Rockhoppers were playing in their last game before their championship tilt in Kentucky, and it was surprisingly tight victory for them as they defeated the Rhode Island Kingfish 15-14. Boston was led by goaltender Chris Hettler, replacing an injured Vincent Talbot who was hurt during warmups. Mike Stone also scored four goals while Ryan Hotaling and Tommy Palasek each had hat tricks. They got two goal efforts from…
Yesterday the lacrosse world was sad to learn the Baltimore Bombers will not participate in the North American Lacrosse League season from here on out and will not participate in the championship. As of right now, there will still be a Boston vs Kentucky championship. Below is the statement from the Bombers organization. The Baltimore Bombers remain a great opportunity but the economics didn’t work. Should an opportunity arise in…
The games that team plays of the road are often different from the ones you play at home. The game plan is usually simplified and, as the away team, you don’t feel the need or the emotional connection to give a good show to your fans. When we travel to Kentucky, our biggest enemy is the fatigue we accumulate from flying and driving. I’m sure teams from Rhode Island and…
Let’s take a minute to forget that Baltimore vs Kentucky was cancelled and all of the issues we have heard about and talk about the lacrosse on the field, shall we? Tomorrow night the Boston Rockhoppers return home to play their New England rival Rhode Island Kingfish. Rhode Island, who sits at 0-3, have added two new offensive players in James Synowiez and Justin Otto from Baltimore to shore up…
The Midwest Indoor Lacrosse Association (MILA) has officially announced this week that it is changing the name of the league to the Continental Indoor Lacrosse League (CILL), effective immediately. The name change comes following the league’s expansion over the past couple of seasons to areas outside the Midwestern United States, including Colorado last year and the Buffalo, N.Y. area for this coming season. “We have changed the name to reflect…
This game was a tale of two teams going in different directions on the floor as the Boston Rockhoppers moved to 6-1 on the season while Kentucky fell to a 2-5 record. Boston picked up a 16-13 victory where they just played their game as they have all season, and that’s a game of smart shots, and not many penalties. Boston was led by Vince Talbot in net yet again…
The Kentucky Stickhorses face their rival Boston Rockhoppers for the third and final time this season. Boston has defeated Kentucky in both of their matchups this season. This is Boston’s second trip to Louisville. Kentucky suffered a two goal loss to the Baltimore Bombers last week where they struggled to score and stay out of the box. Meanwhile, Boston’s last game was also in Baltimore in a blowout victory over…
The Kentucky Stickhorses need to win their next two games and hope Baltimore falls to Boston in a few weeks. That’s the only way they can make the playoffs now as they suffered a potentially backbreaking loss at the hands of the Bombers. Kentucky and Baltimore were tied after one and Spencer Lyons played pretty well in net, however he allowed a run late by Baltimore that eventually was the…
The NALL is a little bit different than it was early this week. Now each team has nine games instead of ten and the playoff picture is different. Boston is in, leaving one spot left, which will be Kentucky or Baltimore. Kentucky will not be traveling to Boston again this season. They host Boston next week, but it’s the games against Baltimore that are vital. If they win tomorrow then…
