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…
The Colorado Mammoth have had issues at the goaltender position this season. Matt Roik and Chris Levis, their goalies at the start of the season, are now gone. Now they bring in former second round pick Tye Belanger and youngster Dan Lewis. Belanger was expected to get a chance out of camp but suffered an injury beforehand. Belanger started in his first career game against Buffalo last week, and allowed…
With the March 13 trade deadline fast approaching it doesn’t appear that the Washington Stealth will make any changes to their lineup. A great team starts with great goaltending and the Stealth have one of the best in the league in Tyler Richards. He has a goals against average of 10.35 which is good enough for second in the National Lacrosse League. T-Rich can win a game by himself and…
Another exciting week of NLL action is in the book, and we are now starting to talk who will clinch a playoff berth every week.. Toronto can clinch a playoff berth with a win and either a Minnesota or Colorado loss. The Stealth clinch a spot with a Win over the Swarm. Toronto Rock 7-3 Friday night victory over a Mammoth team that stuck around til the fourth quarter, extend…
You may have heard of Marty O’Neill. He was a goaltender in the NLL in the 1990s, has been an NLL GM, most recently with the Minnesota Swarm, and is currently a lacrosse reporter. I got a chance to catch up with him and talk lacrosse with one of the greatest minds in the game. MI: The draft is months away but the prospects are always interesting. Who are some…
Although it may not be as hyped or eventful as the trade deadline in some other sports, the NLL Trade Deadline is a good chance for teams to address a need they might have before they go on their playoff run. For the Bandits, who now sit at 5-5, it’s hard to exactly pinpoint what that need is. Watching the Bandits towards the beginning of the season, it seemed very…
The Rochester Knighthawks have made a few trades out to Denver with star players recently. Two years ago it was John Grant Jr and now it’s Casey Powell being shipped to the Colorado Mammoth for defender Jon Sullivan and a third round pick. The NLL trade deadline is on Wednesday and Colorado and Rochester are the last place teams in their respective conferences. It’s rare to see moves these big…
