The Fast Break Version After finding themselves down 12-4 with just under five minutes left in the third quarter, the Roughnecks went on an impressive four goal run to get back into the game. Dane Dobbie started it off at 10:40 to make the score 12-5 and less than three minutes later, after goals from Geoff Snider and surprise starter Scott Ranger, Jeff Shattler converted a silky smooth, one handed,…
After the Philadelphia Wings loss to the Minnesota Swarm yesterday afternoon, we caught up with Wings rookie forward Garrett Thul to discuss his lacrosse career. Garrett Thul
The Philadelphia Wings and Minnesota Swarm face each other just 24 hours after the Swarm defeated the Wings 11-10 in Philadelphia on some questionable non-calls. Kevin Ross will be out with what appears to be a seperated right shoulder after a hit from behind into the boards from Andrew Suitor. This is the Swarms home opener at the Hive for 2014 and winning yesterday on the road will obviously give…
Photo Credit: Calgary Roughnecks The Calgary Roughnecks needed a return to form after taking a thrashing from the Edmonton Rush on Friday night. And they did just that with a solid 15-12 victory over the Vancouver Stealth on Saturday. The Stealth picked up two quick goals to take the early lead before Calgary’s offense would finally find its legs, going on a three-goal run. Vancouver would go on another two-goal…
Riding the momentum wave of a two-game win streak, the Buffalo Bandits (3-1) poured it on in the second half and never looked back to come away with a commanding 16-9 victory over the Colorado Mammoth (1-5) on Saturday during military appreciation night at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. The win this evening for the Bandits is their second road victory this season and their third win overall in…
Before I write my review I feel the need to vent. The officials in this game were HORRIBLE. There were calls on both ends that they missed, but some major ones that could have changed the game. 1-Since when is a back body drop legal? In first quarter while there was a scrum by the benches a Swarm player flipped a Wings player over their back. 2-Ryan Ward scores at…
Tyler Carlson of the Minnesota Swarm lasted just three minutes in net before he was yanked on Saturday after allowing three goals on four shots against the Philadelphia Wings. Carlson has struggled as a starter which has many asking if he would be better suited as a backup goalie. As we saw in the first round of the playoffs last year against the Toronto Rock, he has the ability to stand on…
On Saturday night, the Calgary Roughnecks (1-2) host the Vancouver Stealth (2-1) at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Both teams are coming off Friday night games, but the results were very different. The Roughnecks were soundly defeated by the Edmonton Rush on Friday, by a 15-8 score. Curtis Dickson was held off the scoresheet and Jeff Shattler, who had scored four goals in each of the first two games of the season,…
The Stealth needed overtime to beat the Mammoth 14-13 Friday night in a back and fourth game that saw both teams trade goal after exciting goal down to the closing minutes of the fourth quarter and into OT. Vancouver would trail Colorado the entire game but only needed one shot from Lewis Ratcliff in the extra frame to earn it’s second win of the young season. The loss for the…
The Buffalo Bandits (2-1) and the Colorado Mammoth (1-4) will face off for the first of two 2014 NLL regular season matchups Saturday January 18th, 2014 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. The last time these two teams met was a 2013 Week 11 battle at the Pepsi Center where the Mammoth emerged victorious with a 16-13 win at home. In Week 3 action last week, the Bandits were…
