Justin Ivey, NLL CorrespondentLacrosse is Awesome© Standings: Shawn Palmer 5-1 Justin Ivey 4-2 Chris Vale 4-2 Stephonya Hunter-Penner 2-4 Pretty straight forward Week 2 for the NLL.

New England showed that they are a team to be watched this year, beating the Rock in Toronto. San Diego kept it close, but…

Justin Ivey, NLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© Standings: Chris Vale 3-0 Shawn Palmer 3-0 Stephonya Hunter-Penner 1-2 Justin Ivey 1-2 Wow. The new look Rochester Knighthawks couldn’t find the chemistry to be competitive in Week 1 and Georgia looked like the most dangerous team in the NLL again. Chris and Shawn saw right through the big offensive names. Del Bianco had a huge 63 saves in Calgary’s win over Vancouver,…

The Lizards kept the score close in the first half, but a strong second half for the Cannons, including four goals from Mark Cockerton, secured their third straight win to open the year.

Justin Ivey, MLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome Saturday’s Major League Lacrosse game in Quincy, MA could not have been scripted any better.

Justin Ivey, NLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© In the 2019 regular and postseason, the Buffalo Bandits held opponents to 10 or fewer goals 12 times. They won all 12 of those games. The Bandits finished the regular season 7-2 at home, and easily won rounds one and two as the host team. The offense seemed unstoppable at times this year, and the defense caused so much confusion in games that…

A lot of the team here thought Toronto was coming out of the East. Buffalo proved them wrong! In the West, most of us expected Calgary to move on and they did! This should be an excellent NLL Finals. Calgary and Buffalo are both very physical on defense and have players that can create with little space on offense. Let’s see what we think for Game 1! Shawn Palmer :…

None of us saw the Colorado upset happen! Congratulations to the Mammoth. They face a tough task visiting Colorado, where they have not won in the post season since their 2006 championship run. All except one game resulted in an “upset” showing just how great NLL competition is. We are down to the last four teams and these single elimination divison finals will determine who plays for the Cup. Shawn…
