If you follow any sports social media today, you were probably graced with the presence of one of the NLL’s top highlights of the season. Colorado Mammoth goaltender Alex Buque laid out Calgary Roughnecks transition Karsen Leung in one of the best viral lacrosse videos of the year.
1—(1) Colorado Mammoth (8-2) After a bye week the Mammoth are back in action. The Mammoth and their fans hope that the week off did not cool off Adam Jones. Next Game: @ Calgary Saturday 9pm. 2—(2) Buffalo Bandits (7-4) Moved to the top of the eastern conference as they used a four goal run in the fourth to pick up the win 13-10 on Johnny Tavares Night. Dhane Smith (4G/3A), Mark Steenhuis (3G/3A), and Ryan Benesch…
Joe DiMaggio’s famous hitting streak in Major League Baseball was at 56 games. The National Lacrosse League has not been around *quite* as long as MLB, but Adam Jones of the Colorado Mammoth has hit that exact mark. In Colorado’s 14-13 victory over the New England Black Wolves in week ten of this NLL season, Jones scored a goal in his 56th straight NLL contest, dating back to the 2012…
The New England Black Wolves will travel to Denver on Saturday to face the Colorado Mammoth in a match up of conference leading teams. New England (5-2) holds a one game lead on Buffalo in the east while Colorado (7-2) leads Saskatchewan by 1.5 games in the west. The Wolves have led the east from the get go this season, with the new look team finding immediate success in its…
Adam Jones doesn’t care much for your five goal lead. Jones was at his very best in the fourth quarter of the Colorado Mammoth’s come-from-behind 11-10 win over the Vancouver Stealth. He had the quickest natural hat-trick, the league says, since at least 2005. He erased Vancouver’s lead at 9:08 of the final quarter before winning the game with two seconds left in the game. For Vancouver, the first half…
With the best crowd at the Langley Events Centre in three years, the Vancouver Stealth sent home 4,066 fans with the best result possible: a 15-7 win to pull the Stealth within a game and a half of Saskatchewan in the West Division. It was a dominating performance right from the first face-off, with Ryan Wagner scoring his first professional lacrosse goal on a breakaway. Colorado was reportedly ravaged by…
The Edmonton Rush got their first home win of the season defeating the Colorado Mammoth 12-10 on Friday night in front of a small but enthusiastic crowd of 8,624 at Sasktel Centre. The win also ends the Mammoth’s four game winning streak. It was a hard fought battle that did not see the Rush take a lead until the ten-minute mark of the final frame. The crowd was silenced early…
Alex Buque shone on opening night in Colorado. After getting the surprise start against the Georgia Swarm, Buque has not seen another start all season. Dillon Ward, of whom signed a five year deal with the Mammoth just two years ago, was labeled the next young goaltending star of the National Lacrosse League. After Evan Kirk, a former third overall pick, did not become that next star, all eyes were…
Coming off a major win over the defending champion Saskatchewan Rush, hopes were high for the Vancouver Stealth to find some consistency in what has been an otherwise inconsistent tenure since relocating from Washington. If Saturday night was any indication, those hopes may have to be put off until next week. The Colorado Mammoth, off to an undefeated start behind a string of impressive wins over Rochester and Buffalo, were…
The Colorado Mammoth (3-0) put their undefeated record on the line tonight as they travel to Vancouver to take on the Stealth (1-1). Both teams are coming off big wins last weekend—Colorado bested the Buffalo Bandits 15-14 in overtime while Vancouver took out the defending champion Saskatchewan Rush 13-11 as a result of a 4-0 fourth quarter outburst. The Mammoth have simply been outgunning opponents so far this year, scoring…
