The NLL trade deadline has come and gone, and we saw three moves happen in the week ahead of time. All three moves included the current last place team in the east and the reigning champions, the Rochester Knighthawks. First, the Hawks traded former MVP Casey Powell to the Colorado Mammoth for defenseman Jon Sullivan and a third round pick. They lose 22 points in Powell, but the Hawks have…
Just when we thought the trade deadline was over, Scott Self was shipped off to the Rochester Knighthawks in exchange for Alex Kedoh Hill. Self spent the afternoon at Nationwide Lacrosse camp and as of 5pm had no idea that he had been traded. In Lacrosse We Trust heard about the trade from his younger brother Brad who received the news from Knighthawks GM Curt Styres just before 5pm. Brad…
The Bandits have had an interesting season so far, sitting at 5-5 with their new look roster this season. With more than half the season gone, today we look at who the three players are that are on the upswing and the three that aren’t looking nearly as good. Three Up Dhane Smith- He’s lived up to all expectations people should have had for him. The Bandits have had trouble of…
As the trade deadline draws near (5pm eastern today) I truly do not see any trades being done by the Rush. They are solid between the pipes with Bold and MacDonald. The defense is just as solid with Rubisch, Lintz, Mydske and Cornwall just to name a few. And the offense…Mark Matthews is on pace to break John Grant Jr’s rookie record for goals in a season (37). Matthews is…
The National Lacrosse League has announced Player of the Week awards for Week #10 of the 2013 NLL regular season which featured four games this past weekend. Calgary Roughnecks forward Dane Dobbie, who ranks second in the league with 30 goals, won Offensive Player of the Week after scoring six goals and registering a total of 10 points. Toronto Rock transition player Jesse Gamble, tied for 11th in the NLL…
According to multiple reports, the Buffalo Bandits have traded transition man Jimmy Purves to the Rochester Knighthawks for a second round draft pick. Purves has played in eight games this season for the Bandits and has put together three points; two goals and an assist. They signed him to a one year deal before the season. Purves also has 26 penalty minutes on the season and 25 loose balls. Meanwhile,…
With the trade deadline only hours away we don’t expect to see anymore changes in the Colorado. The Mammoth made a big move earlier in the week when they acquired 10 year veteran Casey Powell from the Rochester Knighthawks. They had to give up defensive specialist Jon Sullivan in the deal but this is considered a great trade for Colorado as Powell is one of the most talented american players…
With the trade deadline only hours away, and the deadline for teams to sign free agents for playoffs is Friday March 15 at 5pm, I turned to the roster of the Baltimore Bombers of the NALL. Four names stuck out. Matt Alrich(D) Dan Marohl(F), Shaun Nadelen(D) & John Orson(D) Have to wonder if Head Coach Johnny Mouradian or any of the other GM’s will be dialing the house of Shaun…
Some of our NLL analysts sat down for a good old fashioned debate on the best team in the National Lacrosse League. Today’s debate features Scott Arnold, Rocco Granato and Jack Goods. Granato: This comes down to two teams right know and a third just waiting to ambush. I see Washington being the team to beat right now, especially after what I saw this past weekend. They took advantage of…
The Calgary Roughnecks are in second place in the Western Division, despite giving up more goals than any team this season. Their offense is still torrid and they look like one of the best teams in the league. I spoke with their goaltender Mike Poulin for this edition of one on one. MI: How do you feel about the win over Minnesota? MP: It was a great team win over…
