Out of Contention: Rochester Rattlers
Having a 5-8 record going into their last game against Boston was not how the Rochester Rattlers envisioned their season going. Missing the playoffs for the third time in three seasons since coming back into Major League Lacrosse was not how the Rattlers envisioned their season going either. However you decide to look at the 2013 season, one word comes to mind, and that word is disappointment. The Rattlers…

Third Time the Charm for Thunder?

Out of Contention: New York Lizards
When the Lizards drafted Rob Pannell last year, it was the talk of the league, especially when he decided to stay at Cornell an extra year. This seasons draft proved even more interesting when New York traded for Mark Matthews. Adding Matthews to a big attack unit made up of Tommy Palasek, Matt Gibson, and eventually Pannell, made it seem as if they were going to be one of the…
It’s Toole Time in the NLL
Today I can finally smile with what was reported in the sports world. Former NLL goalie Pat O’Toole of the Rochester Knighthawks was the lone inductee to the Hall of Fame Class of 2013. In the past week we have heard nothing but an NFL player shouting a racial slur, and 13 MLB players being suspended for PED’s. This is just icing on the cake for O’Toole. Back…
