NLL: Colorado drops both games of back-to-back, eliminated from playoff contention

April 18, 2024

The Colorado Mammoth needed the closest thing to a miracle if they wanted to get back to the playoffs. A back-to-back didn’t help, but if there is a team gritty enough to make some noise, it’s the Mammoth. The first of the two games was in front of their home crowd against the Philadelphia Wings on Friday night. Philadelphia had already been eliminated from playoff contention, but the role of…

HAPPOLD-BROWN: In defense of Paul Day

I’ve debated whether or not I should write this, but with the Philadelphia Wings being officially eliminated from playoff contention this weekend, it was time. This is my personal opinion. I’ve tried to keep quiet, and I don’t think I can. I have coached men’s and women’s lacrosse for a number of years. I have never coached professional lacrosse, and I would never want to. Give me five-year-old kiddos through…

The Saskatchewan Rush came into Philadelphia with a solid game plan on Thursday night and flew out with a win. Although the 16-12 final score made the game seem close, Saskatchewan dominated the entire game, despite being at the end of a gruelling three-game road trip. The Wings’ offense came out flat again. By the end of the first half, Saskatchewan had found the back of the net eight times…

The Vancouver Warriors marched into Philadelphia with a solid battle plan last weekend, and they stormed off the floor with a 21-12 victory that left many Wings fans booing (par for the course in Philadelphia) or leaving early. Heading into Week 18, the Wings sit in 1oth place in the NLL with a 5-8 record. Success has been hard to come by this season, but under the new unified standings,…

The Panther City Lacrosse Club was on the prowl in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon, clipping the Wings with an overtime 9-8 win. The loss drops Philadelphia’s record to 4-7. Wings’ head coach and general manager Paul Day reflected on the loss, stating, “I don’t think we’re ever concerned about our effort with our group. Offensively, it was real stale, I thought, until the third quarter. I thought Sammy (Sam LeClair) really…

Philadelphia needed several superheroes to pull off a big win against the Calgary Roughnecks this past weekend, and they got the performances they needed in a big 11-9 win on Marvel SuperHero Night at Wells Fargo. Calgary started the game strong—going up 5-2 in the first. When the game began, it was the Wings’ Sam LeClair who put the first “marvel”ous goal in. Calgary then went on to score three…

NLL: Roughnecks take first meeting in 4 years over Wings

It’s been a minute since the Philadelphia Wings played the Calgary Roughnecks. And by a minute, that would be four years ago in the COVID shortened 2019/20 season. Back then Philadelphia was led by the likes of Kevin Crowley, Kiel Matisz, Matt Rambo and one Josh Currier. Of course, Calgary still had Curtis Dickson and Dane Dobbie sporting the red Roughneck jersey and the Riggers were fresh off their championship…

The San Diego Seals came barking into Philadelphia and slid away with a 12-11 win. It was virtually all San Diego in the first quarter. Wes Berg started the scoring. Sam LeClair quickly answered back for Philadelphia. However, that seemed to send the Seals on the prowl as they scored four more before the quarter ended. Philadelphia knew it had to make changes. The second half saw more evenly matched…
