The Lizards’ championship wasn’t because of one player. League MVP Greg Gurenlian made that clear in his postgame interview and said it was because New York had the best locker room. And arguably the most important cog in the Lizards’ machine outside of Gurenlian was goalie Drew Adams. Adams has been in the MLL since 2009 and he’s been one of the best goalies in the league most seasons. He…

Mission accomplished! That should be the motto for the 2015 New York Lizards. When the Paul Rabil trade went down in January, everyone with any tie to Major League Lacrosse dubbed the Lizards the overwhelming favorite to win the Steinfeld Cup. Moreover, many said it would be a disappointment if they did not win it all. That is a lot of pressure. It is very difficult to perform when the…

You want to take a guess at who I think won the Paul Rabil trade? Let me think about this for a few minutes … I’ll go with the 2015 MLL champion New York Lizards. For the record, that was a joke. It’s an easy choice, at least as of now since the Lizards won the championship this year. LIZARDS RECEIVED: Paul Rabil (From Cannons) Mike Stone (From Cannons) CANNONS…
