Las Vegas shows out in front of first sellout crowd in franchise history

January 20, 2025

Las Vegas has been off to some touch-and-go starts in the infant years of their franchise. However, Saturday night was a momentous occasion at Lee’s Family Forum, AKA The Den, as it was the first sellout in franchise history. The hometown Desert Dogs were set to do battle with the visiting San Diego Seals. This game was tightly contested and was deadlocked deep into the third quarter, resulting in Las…

If you’re a fan of goaltending, then Saturday night’s tilt between the San Diego Seals and Ottawa Black Bears was for you. The stage was set at Pechanga Arena, and the two brightest stars were the men with the most pads. Christopher Origlieri and Zach Higgins combined for 77 saves on 88 shots. Basic math tells us that there were only 11 goals scored in the game, tying the least…

We love when we can smell a good rivalry brewing like a fresh cup of coffee or a nice bouquet of flowers. There’s just something about two teams who truly don’t like each other and always play great games against one another. That seems to be what’s happening between the San Diego Seals and the Colorado Mammoth. Friday night at Pechanga Arena was the rivalry renewed between these two teams….

The last game of the Week 1 slate was an absolute banger. Pechanga Arena and the rest of San Diego welcomed back their beloved Seals to their home floor. The Seals, new and old, welcomed the Philadelphia Wings for a Sunday showdown. We say new and old, because while the Seals had a lot of familiar faces return, they also had a lot of massive additions this offseason, and boy,…

It is almost 2,500 miles from Albany, New York to San Diego, California. Also, there’s playing on the road, and there’s playing on the road in the playoffs. The FireWolves had a long way to go for game one of the semi-final round in this year’s playoffs, and boy, they did not squander that opportunity. We’ve discussed before that Albany’s team average in age is 26 years young. Saturday night…

In Denver, Colorado, on September 1, 2007, Dane Dobbie was selected fourth overall in the NLL entry draft by the Calgary Roughnecks. In Orangeville, Chris Origlieri was just aging out of his first summer of introductory lacrosse.

NLL: Staats hits 50 & Dickson takes over 7th all-time in goals as Seals continue to roll

The final Friday night game of the regular season featured two teams with opposite goals. On one side, the Vancouver Warriors have been on an absolute heater as of late, and were fighting for their playoff lives. A win at San Diego and some help across the league very easily could accomplish that. On the other hand, the Seals sat pretty in second place, had their playoff spot and first…

It was Stick Up for a Cure night at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, as the Seals played host to Panther City Lacrosse Club. In partnership with Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego wore some custom uniforms with a nice blue tint on the back and an inscription of who they were sticking up for. The blue broke up the extreme amount of purple between both sides. The Seals have already…

It was an easy answer for the San Diego Seals going into their game Saturday night against the Las Vegas Desert Dogs: win and you’re in. However, just because it was an easy answer, doesn’t mean it was easy getting there. After going down 5-1 in the first quarter, San Diego needed an answer and quick. Using a flurry of shots, going 4-5 on the power play, as well as…

Two goalies. One hundred and two shots. Eighty-nine saves, and 60 minutes of tough, chippy lacrosse equaled one epic defensive battle. The return of grizzled warrior Brodie Merrill to the San Diego lineup was just the edge the San Diego Seals needed as they went on to defeat the Calgary Roughnecks 7-6 on Friday night at Scotiabank Saddledome in front of 14,143 fans. “It had that playoff atmosphere in here…
