As the Wings enter another bye week, they must let another loss stir and fester inside of them. This just wasn’t a regular loss. This was an embarrassing defeat to the Rochester Knighthawks which brought back memories of the 2012 season opener, a 22-12 loss. This was also a 10 goal defeat 20-10, but it made it two home losses in a row that the Wings where doubled up on…
The Buffalo Bandits fell to the Rochester Knighthawks this week in NLL action, and we were on scene to pick up audio from the post game interviews.
Week six in the NLL saw wins from Washington, Rochester (twice), Calgary and Minnesota. In those games several stars shone, but we have the top three. Tyler Richards, Washington Stealth/Matt Vince, Rochester Knighthawks Richards had the best game of any NLL goaltender this season on Saturday night, when he stopped 51 Colorado shots out of 57. It is the second week in a row Richards has allowed seven goals or…
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…
What an exciting weekend of lacrosse action. If this past weekend doesn’t prove that the 2013 NLL season is packed with excitement each week, nothing will! We have a new #1, the defending champions sweep there weekend road games and played like the team that won the title last year. The Battle of Alberta was just that, as the Rush stayed with the Roughnecks for 60 minutes. The Swarm sting…
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…
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…
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…
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 &…
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…
