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…
