NLL

Three players were suspended in the National Lacrosse League earlier today; Glen Bryan (Buffalo Bandits), Tim Henderson (Washington Stealth) and Chet Koneczny (Colorado Mammoth). All three have appealed and will be able to play this weekend. Bryan was suspended for cross checking the head of Minnesota’s Andrew Watt last Saturday night. Koneczny was suspended for a match penalty that was assessed by the league after the Colorado loss to Washington….

1.  Cliff Smith (Stealth)   Another 7 point game, can he continue his hot streak, and lead the Washington Stealth to another victory? 2.  Curtis Knight/Mark Matthews (Edm)  Fantastic first game, just fell short against Toronto, can they hand the Stealth their first loss? Both rookies playing in their second game. 3.  Levis/Roik (Col)   Can they get on track vs Calgary?   Goaltending has been a HUGE question since pre-season. 4.  Anthony…

Now that every team has played a game, we know a lot more about what the NLL will look like this 2013 season. However, we still have questions, and look at what to watch for in the third week. Can the defending Champion Knighthawks bounce back after road loss in Washington in week one? Rochester is raising their banner on this night and face a Bandits team looking to move…

None of us have done so great at game picks this week with upsets running rampant. Well, we keep trying, so without further ado, our game picks.

The four-year pro spent his entire career with the Buffalo Bandits, where he posted a 10.86 goals-against average and .767 save percentage over three seasons. In 2012,…

The NLL coaches and media conference call yesterday had some interesting notes about the statuses of players and injuries from around the league. Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen said that he will know more about Casey Powell tonight during practice and if he will play this weekend against the Buffalo Bandits. With the Bandits, Billy Dee Smith will not play this week due to an injury he suffered at work….

Week two of the NLL season has come to an end now that every team in the league has seen at least one game of action. Only Rochester had this week off, so we had plenty of options for our three stars. Nick Rose- Toronto Rock Nick Rose currently leads the league with two wins and 89 overall saves. It is early and he is on one of two teams…

The season is now in full swing, a nd once again we have a new #1. The Rock opened up with back to back road games this weekend.  First defeating Calgary on Saturday night 13-10, then traveling and defeating a very competitive Rush team 10-9.  But one of our biggest jumpers was the Washington Stealth.  The Stealth are now ranked #2, and showed that their win over the Knighthawks was…
