MLL

It was a must win game for the Boston Cannons, and they won. The Cannons defeated the Ohio Machine last night, 18-16, to get into the MLL Playoffs as the number three seed. They will play the Chesapeake Bayhawks on August 25th. The Cannons saw multi goal performances from Paul Rabil, Matt Poskay, Ari Sussman, Ryan Boyle, Mike Stone, Kevin Buchanan (who had a natural hat trick) and Pat Heim. Rabil scored…

It was a battle for first place between the Chesapeake Bayhawks and Denver Outlaws. The Outlaws had not been at home for weeks, and they would close out the season yet again on enemy territory. In front of over 10,000, the Denver Outlaws defeated the Bayhawks to clinch the first overall seed in the MLL Playoffs. That means they will play the fourth seeded Long Island Lizards on Championship Weekend….

If they lose, and the Lizards win or the Rattlers lose, they can still get in. But it’s so simple, they just need to defeat the last place team in the league. They are playing at Ohio, which is the Machine’s last home game, and game…

This is it, the last roundup of the 2012 regular MLL season. The Rochester Rattlers will be traveling to battle the Charlotte Hounds. This game is very important for both teams as the season comes to a close. For Charlotte, it means a number of things. If they go out victorious, it gives fans and the organization hope for next year. However, should they fall, it would damper the hopeful…

Natoinals Attack Vs. Lizards Attack Both teams pose an all-around threat on offense, the Nationals rely on Syracuse grads Cody Jamieson who has been effective in only 8 games (20 points) and Stepehn Keough (25 goals). The Lizards attack is led by Tommy Palasek, Matt Gibson, and Greg Catalino. If Gibson can stay energetic behind the cage and continue feeding Palasek and Catalino with quick passes the Lizards offense should…

Besides for Ohio, which is on the Eastern end of the Midwest, the region is relatively untouched by the MLL. One would expect the league would want to change that, especially with talks of the league trying to expand outside of the East. Could a city like St. Louis be a possibility down the road? Geographically it does make sense. It gives Denver a team that is closer than any…
