Not sure if it was mind games, or something popped up, but we almost saw Eli McLaughlin for game three….
NLL: Colorado roars back to force game deciding game three in NLL Finals
It was do-or-die for the Colorado Mammoth in game two of the NLL Finals on Saturday night.

NLL: Emotional 18-17 win for Bandits in game one over Rock
In terms of a lacrosse game, game one of the conference finals between the Buffalo Bandits and Toronto Rock was an instant classic. But for the Bandits and the city of Buffalo, it was far more.
