With the Toronto Rock set to take to the road for the next three weeks following Friday night’s game against the New England Black Wolves, picking up a win was crucial, and while the Rock needed extra time to get the job done, they did just that, dropping the Black Wolves by a score of 13-12. The first quarter was a back and forth affair, that saw both teams really…

When New England travels up to Toronto to face the Rock, it will be matching the East Division’s best record against the worst. New England has been changing their roster around much more in the recent weeks, so it will be interesting to see how they look both offensively and defensively. For the Black Wolves on offense, adding Brett Bucktooth to the lineup produced immediate benefits. In his first game…
Heading into the 2015 NLL season the Toronto Rock were faced with two key injuries at the offensive end of the floor. 2014 leading scorer, Garrett Billings had suffered a torn ACL towards the end of last season, and would be lost to the club for at least the first half of the 2015 season. If that wasn’t bad enough, captain Colin Doyle, who racked up 72 points last season suffered a…
What an exciting weekend. Toronto put a little distance in the East, Edmonton and Colorado switched positions as the Rush swept this weekend, and the Knighthawks came up huge with two wins to go from last to second in the east. And in Calgary….things just get Rougher for the Roughnecks. NLL Power Rankings Week 7 (1)….1—Toronto Rock (6-1) Can’t stop the Rock!! This past weekend the Rock rolled their…
After dropping a devastating 16-4 loss to the Toronto Rock on Friday night at the Excel Energy Centre, the Minnesota Swarm entered Saturday night’s contest with the Toronto Rock looking for revenge. And while the Minnesota Swarm did put forth a much better effort at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday night, the result was unfortunately the same for them, as the Toronto Rock would end the weekend home and home…
Last night’s Toronto Rock-Minnesota Swarm game was pretty chippy overall, and it provided this pretty good fight between Swarm rookie Shane MacDonald and Rock defenseman Bill Hostrawser.
Hot off the heels of a 16-4 defeat of the Minnesota Swarm on Friday night in Minnesota, the Toronto Rock look to improve on their league leading 5-1 record, as they host the Swarm on the backend of a home and home series between the two clubs. Prior to the devastating 16-4 loss, the Swarm sat with a 3-2 record, hot on the heels of the first place Toronto Rock, however with…
The Toronto Rock’s 13 goal run Friday night paced them to a 16-4 win over the Minnesota Swarm on Friday night at the hive in Saint Paul. The win puts the Rock solidly in first place in the East, while the Swarm drop to third. The Swarm led 2-0, and then 3-2, before the Rock pulled ahead early in the second quarter. They were like a steam engine with no…
With only two games on the schedule this week a lot happened. Both games were exciting from beginning to end and both went to overtime. The Swarm buzzed into second place with an overtime win at home over Rochester, and Calgary is still winless as they fell in overtime again, this time to Buffalo. This weekend we have seven games, some teams playing twice. A lot can change after Valentine’s…
