For the Albany Great Danes, their season couldn’t have started any better; beating Syracuse. The Danes went into the game as underdogs against a historically great Syracuse team. From the beginning of the game, Albany set a serious tone, going up 4-0 to start. Perhaps the biggest reason for the Danes’ win; the Thompsons.

Oh, what a few weeks can do in the NLL. After a terrible start to the season, the Rochester Knighthawks now look to be one of the more dangerous teams in the league.

The 3-3 Rochester Knighthawks are finally figuring it out. Since a horrendous 0-3 start, the Hawks are on a three-game win streak and are finally looking like the Championship team they became last season, with the potential to be much better than last year’s squad. The player I’ve been most surprised by and impressed with is #23, Cory Vitarelli. Knighthawks fans knew the player known as “The Dog” was a…
