0 comment

The Ohio Machine is last in the MLL standings with only one win, but it faces its best opportunity to improve on that this weekend. The Machine (1-7) will play a home-and-home series on back-to-back nights this weekend with the Hamilton Nationals (2-6). One more game means one more chance to win, and it comes against the team closest in the standings. It could also mean one last chance for…

Having over 30,000 fans attending a lacrosse game is something hardly ever…

The Rochester Rattlers may be the hardest team to figure out in all of Major League Lacrosse. The team sits in fifth place in the standings at 3-4, only a game and a half out behind the Boston Cannons for the final playoff position. Yet they are poor in some key categories. The team is dead last in goals scored (72). They are 1-4 on the road. They are sixth…

Charlotte Hounds Open Second Half Against Chesapeake

July 5, 2012— Although they were attempting (and somewhat expected) to resemble the old Toronto Nationals team that won an MLL title their first year in the league, the Hounds are still getting started. Boasting huge names like Matt Danowski, Billy Bitter, Jeremy Boltus, Jovan Miller, and the All-Star game’s MVP Stephen Berger has not been a problem this year, chemistry, however, has been. Way to many times this year…

July 2, 2012
0 comment

The Long Island Lizards have been one of the biggest surprises in the league this year. The off-season saw them deal established players in order to stockpile draft picks and young assets. Then, Max Quinzani, a player they acquired, did not sign his contract to return to the league. The number one pick in the draft, Rob Pannell, was injured in the beginning of the collegiate season and has since…

MLL Future In Atlanta?

Its been one of the cities that has been talked about when it comes to MLL expansion, and its a place that does make a lot of sense for the league. Atlanta, Georgia is a relatively untested lacrosse market, but one that does show a lot of potential. To start off, youth lacrosse is growing at an incredible rate around the city. This is always a key for MLL teams,…

Thoughts on the MLL All-Star Game

Yesterday’s All-Star game was a good one; the MLL really had a good showing in Boca Raton, Florida. The big drawback may be the technical difficulties through the second quarter. ESPN lost the feed a time or two, and there wasn’t any sound to be had in the first quarter. Hopefully that didn’t scare away too much viewers, because it was a good game. They had a huge crowd down…
