Cannons Need to Find A Way to Turn it Around
The Boston Cannons started out the 2012 MLL season looking like the Championship team they were in 2011. They started 4-0, defeated the undefeated Denver Outlaws, and were scoring more than anyone in the league. The Cannons are still second in the league in scoring and have allowed the third least amount of goals. But the stats do not lie about the way they have lost their last few games….
Lizards Look to Start A Streak, Take on Nationals
Playoff implications are running wild in this game, as with a win for the Long Island Lizards they knock out the Charlotte Hounds, and also the Hamilton Nationals. Hamilton needs this game if they want to stay alive in the playoff race with their 3-7 record. The Nationals split last weekend with the Ohio Machine, where Garrett Billings got the honor of being named the league’s offensive player of the…
Bayhawks Hope To Disarm The Machine
The Chesapeake Bayhawks can’t help but notice the Denver Outlaws nipping at their heels. Sitting only half a game ahead of Denver, Chesapeake is hoping to keep their distance with a victory tonight against the last place Ohio Machine. The Bayhawks are coming off a much needed victory at the hands of Rochester after a tough road loss to Charlotte. On paper this game is quite the blowout, especially when…

He also had four assists to up his total to nine points on the season with the Hounds. Smith has played in Major League Lacrosse since 2005 with the Philadelphia Barrage. He has also played for Rochester, Washington,…
Major League Lacrosse Mock Draft: One
by MaxProLax. 1st Round Ohio Machine: A-Peter Baum, Colgate Bomb the season for Baum might explode soon – earlier this week 412 Lax (@412_Lax) responded to my tweet about Baum being the first pick by saying ‘LXM Bound’.  I am going to continue to ignore the warning signs (a month ago Baum complimented the LXM product) because I will be devastated to see Baum pass on the MLL.  Other than…
Major League Lacrosse Playoffs: Where We Stand

Charlotte was annihilated by the Denver Outlaws 21-7 last weekend in Colorado and need to regain some dignity. Rochester held their own but…
