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 Rochester Knighthawks announced tonight that they have signed goalie Angus Goodleaf to a one-year deal, pending league approval. In a related move, the Knighthawks released goalie Jake Henhawk. “It feels good. I have been waiting for this for a month,” said Goodleaf. 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….
This weekend didn’t go entirely as planned for the Buffalo Bandits. There were some things that worked and looked very good, and other things that should make fans a bit worried. That being said, many of the issues were expected with the new faces in the lineup and there seemed to me a good amount of positives to balance things out. The Bandits are still in a good position at…
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.

It is early and he is on one of two teams…

The Stealth are now ranked #2, and showed that their win over the Knighthawks was…
The Toronto Rock were in action this weekend in week 2 of the NLL season. On Saturday night the Rock played their first game of the season against the Calgary Roughnecks and were able to pull out a 13-11 win. In the second half of their Alberta swing the Rock took on the Edmonton Rush on Sunday in Edmonton’s first game of the season. The Rock started off this game…
Last week the Stealth pulled of an upset by defeating the Champion Knighthawks. Last night the Stealth go into Colorado and defeat the Mammoth 17-13. Lewis Ratcliff opened the scoring for the Stealth at the :33 second mark. Both teams alternated goals to tie the game at two a piece. Then the Stealth ( 4 goal run) and the Mammoth (3 goal run) have the score at 6-5 after the…
