For much of this season, the Toronto Rock and Albany FireWolves have been near each other atop the NLL standings. In their final meeting before the playoffs it was the top-seeded Rock who spoiled the retro night party, throwing-back 10 goals from eight different scorers – even goaltender Nick Rose – in a 10-7 victory. Albany, who wore vintage blue-and-white Attack-themed jerseys after honouring former captain Brett Manney pregame, had…

The Saskatchewan Rush grabbed the lead early and never let go in a 12-9 win over the Calgary Roughnecks. As a result, both teams have a 7-9 record with just two games left and they sit in a three-way tie with the Vancouver Warriors in ninth place. Zach Manns put the Rush on the board three minutes in with a mid-range shot. Robert Church added to the lead six minutes…

NLL: Riptide keep playoff hopes alive with road win

The Saturday night clash between the New York Riptide and the Rochester Knighthawks had the feel of a playoff game. The winner of this game would leapfrog into the top eight in the unified standings, while the other continues to stay beneath the “make it” line. The unified standings make things interesting in games like these because of regular old win/loss scenarios as well as tiebreaker potential. This matchup was…

Week 19 marked the third last week of the season and for the Calgary Roughnecks and Saskatchewan Rush, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Both teams sitting outside the playoff picture, both teams with identical 6-8 records and both teams getting to host each other in a home-and-home doubleheader. First up – Westjet Field in Calgary. A strong opening three quarters and a 52-save performance from Christian Del Bianco were…

HAPPOLD-BROWN: In defense of Paul Day

I’ve debated whether or not I should write this, but with the Philadelphia Wings being officially eliminated from playoff contention this weekend, it was time. This is my personal opinion. I’ve tried to keep quiet, and I don’t think I can. I have coached men’s and women’s lacrosse for a number of years. I have never coached professional lacrosse, and I would never want to. Give me five-year-old kiddos through…

It was Stick Up for a Cure night at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, as the Seals played host to Panther City Lacrosse Club. In partnership with Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego wore some custom uniforms with a nice blue tint on the back and an inscription of who they were sticking up for. The blue broke up the extreme amount of purple between both sides. The Seals have already…

NLL: Bandits climb standings, continue recent success against Mammoth

One would assume with how many times the Buffalo Bandits and Colorado Mammoth have played each other the last three seasons, the surprise factor from each side is nonexistent at this point. In addition, maybe we’ve seen all there is to see when it comes to how the game shakes out. Friday night at the Loud House was proof that these teams still have a lot of surprises for one…

It was Roc the Rink Saturday night in Rochester, New York, as the Knighthawks hosted the Halifax Thunderbirds. Rochester sported some sweet custom uniforms honoring and representing the Flower City. The last time the Knighthawks wore some custom uniforms, they had an offensive explosion, but this game was a bit different. Halifax jumped out to an early lead and kept pace the rest of the way, matching anything Rochester did…

NLL: Wings fall to tired Rush squad

The Saskatchewan Rush came into Philadelphia with a solid game plan on Thursday night and flew out with a win. Although the 16-12 final score made the game seem close, Saskatchewan dominated the entire game, despite being at the end of a gruelling three-game road trip. The Wings’ offense came out flat again. By the end of the first half, Saskatchewan had found the back of the net eight times…

NLL: Bal, Warriors continue to cause noise in standings with win in Vegas

It was Knockout Night in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 30, specifically at Michelob Ultra Arena. The Desert Dogs took their home floor to take on the Vancouver Warriors, and we’ve quickly learned, these two teams do not like each other. There are always fireworks when they play, and this contest was no different. Knockout Night was unfortunately a literal phrase for the Desert Dogs, as Vancouver came in and…
