Let’s look at the statistics here, folks. The Edmonton Rush have already semi-broken an NLL record. In 1993, the Buffalo Bandits were the first team to ever record an undefeated season topped off with a championship victory. Now, a dozen years later, the Edmonton Rush are looking to redefine NLL history in itself. For one, the season has increased from eight games to 18 games. The Rush are already 9-0,…
Alex Urquhart The Minnesota Swarm have assuredly struggled this season, going 2-7 so far and only grabbing wins against the Philadelphia Wings and only winning in Philly to boot. The team has lost all three home games at the Excel Energy Center, and all of their away games, not in Philly. This week the Swarm will take on the Buffalo Bandits at First Niagara Center. The last time the Bandits…

Photo Credit: Dan Brodie 1—Can the Edmonton Rush remain undefeated? This is a classic trap game as the Rush could be looking ahead to next week’s match up on the road against the Calgary Roughnecks. For Vancouver, they have lost six of their last seven and have been idle since February 15. This is the last game before the trade deadline for Vancouver; it should be interesting to see what…
If the Edmonton Rush do nothing else this season, they have already made a historic run. Sitting at 8-0 heading into this week, they are just the second team to ever accomplish the feat. They can go 9-0 if they defeat Vancouver this weekend, but more than that, the team is looking for a win as they vie for the playoffs and a chance at a championship. “We are extremely…
