Now that every team has played a game, we know a lot more about what the NLL will look like this 2013 season. However, we still have questions, and look at what to watch for in the third week.
Can the defending Champion Knighthawks bounce back after road loss in Washington in week one? Rochester is raising their banner on this night and face a Bandits team looking to move over .500.
Will Bandits steal a victory from Rochester after banner raising? This might be the Bandits chance to sneak in a win, as teams have historically struggled on banner raising nights.
Mammoth goaltending is M.I.A., will they find it vs Roughnecks? Chris Levis and Matt Roik looked bad last week, and now they need to face an offensive studded team in Calgary.
Can Calgary repeat what they did in pre-season vs Mammoth? They sure looked good in the pre season against Colorado. However, the Mammoth were without John Grant Jr on that night. Do we see the same result?
Will the Stealth continue flying high as they return home to face the Rush? Washington returns home with a 2-0 record against the 0-1 Edmonton. Do they defeat their western rivals?
Can Cliff Smith continue on his hot streak? He’s been the best player in the NLL so far this year. How does he fare in the Stealth’s third game of the season?
Edm: Tough loss to Toronto, can they ground the Stealth in Washington? Is this team a true contender for the West? Edmonton showed some nice things against Toronto but lost at home. How do they do in their first road game of the season?
Phi: Won both meetings in Toronto last season, can this American style field team do it again? Johnny Mouradian’s American team has looked good so far. Now they face the ultimate Canadian team in Toronto. Which style wins?
Tor: Billings, Doyle, Rose, & Co, can they slow down the fast paced Wings? Nick Rose had a fantastic week two, but how does he handle the high flying Wings? Can Garrett Billings, Kasey Biernes and Colin Doyle have another big week?
Tor: Can players and coaches zip the lip to avoid unsportsmanlike conduct penalties? This is something they struggled with last week, what do they do against Philadelphia?
