One more week to go… Can you have written a better script to end the 2013 regular season? Two of the four spots were claimed last week by Philadelphia and Minnesota. Two spots remain with Buffalo, Rochester, Colorado in a battle for it. Also in the balance is Best overall record and the NLL West title. An Edmonton win over Calgary will give the Rush both the Western Division Title and the Best overall record. A loss and Toronto will have best overall record, and Edmonton could drop to third in the west.
