A rough start for the Calgary Roughnecks was the difference in the Toronto Rock’s home opener on Friday night. The Rock jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and never looked back, controlling the majority of the game. Dane Dobbie sniped two back to back power play goals in the first to close the gap to 3-2 and it looked as though the Roughnecks were going to make a it…

@ItsMattGibson versus @KButter5

This post is part of a series geared toward generating hype for the upcoming MLL season. Non-lacrosse and non-MLL fans can get to know the league’s stars better through these comparisons to NBA, NFL and NHL players. Some analogies are based on playing styles and others are based on off-field personality, but none are based on spending habits. We aren’t quite at the point where MLL players can drop $5,000…

Bandits Come Up Flat Against Wings

After the final horn had sounded and the game concluded against the Wings, the scoreboard told the final tale of the contest. The Philadelphia Wings emerged victorious with a 17-13 victory over the Buffalo Bandits last night before a crowd of 13,564 at the First Niagara Center. What occurred last night for me seemed to bring up feelings of déjà vu, especially from those late games in the 2013 season…
