Mammoth Succeeding with Roik Between the Pipes (For Now)
The Colorado Mammoth went into the 2013 season with a tough goaltender situation, with veteran Chris Levis coming in as the starter and Matt Roik as the backup. Roik had been coming off a terrible season starting with the Toronto Rock while their other backup Tye Belanger is out with a knee injury. Colorado resigned Dan Lewis who had played in a few minutes of action last season, but Roik…
Stealth Trounce Mammoth to Get Back on Track
The Washington Stealth defeated the Colorado Mammoth in Everett last night to start the season 2-0 against their western rivals. Washington was led by Tyler Richards in net who made 51 saves on 57 shots in the 13-6 win. Richards is now 8-0 all time against Colorado, and this is the second game he has allowed seven goals or less in a row after he lost to Rochester 7-6 last…
NLL: Curtis Dickson Does in Rush
The Calgary Roughnecks pushed past the Edmonton Rush 9-8 in a very closely matched Saturday night game. Calgary improves to 4-2 with the win and remains in first place in the NLL West. Edmonton drops to 1-4, the worst record in the league. Compared to the matchup these same two teams had a week before, where 33 goals were scored, this game featured tighter checking and outstanding goaltending on both…
Bandits Offense Dries Up, Lose 15-7
Last night was a chance for the Bandits to inch even closer to the first place Toronto Rock, given that the Rock lost the night before in Minnesota. Rochester, although seeming to be getting back on track, was a team that the Bandits had already beaten. Even so, nothing went as planned for Buffalo. Rochester took an early lead and never looked back en route to a 15-7 rout of the…
Wings Rocked By Rochester 20-10
After starting 2-0 the Philadelphia Wings (2-3) have lost three in a row. The latest being a 20-10 spanking at the hands of the Rochester Knighthawks (2-3). This is the second game in a row the Wings have been doubled up on the board, two weeks ago the Wings lost to Calgary 16-8. This was the first game that the players involved in the December trade that sent Dan &…
One on One With: Ethan Farrell
Ethan Farrell’s Philadelphia Wings were blown out by the Rochester Knighthawks yesterday. But before that, I caught up with him about the season so far for the Wings, and about being an American in the NLL. 1. What has the NLL experience been like? Its been pretty awesome so far. Making it from Free Agent/Rookie camp to the Training Camps and getting a roster has been unbelievable. Just being able…
NLL: Bandits Face Hawks, Need Production from Wiles
The Bandits are off to a decent start to the NLL season, posting a 3-2 record. Many of the new faces have stepped up to the plate and produced for Buffalo, especially assistant captain Shawn Williams. However, one of the faces of last year’s team has been highly under producing. When the Bandits brought Luke Wiles in through trade they expected to get a younger scorer to begin to take…
John Tavares to IR For Bandits
Darris Kilgour announced earlier today that John Tavares will be placed on the Injured Reserve. The 22 year veteran was not at shootaround this morning and had been ruled out with a calf injury. He did not play last week either. Replacing him on the active roster is transition man Jon Harasym who had been on the suspended list. Tavares will have to sit out for four weeks starting now…
Swarm Defeat Rock in Overtime on Hass Goal 13-12
The Toronto Rock suffered their second loss of the 2013 season after falling to the Minnesota Swarm 13-12 in overtime. The loss leaves the Rock with a 5-2 record thus far. After a slow start, Toronto found themselves trailing 4-2 at the end of the first quarter. The Rock would attempt to claw at this lead throughout the game, ending the remaining three quarters with the score tied at 7-7,…
