Only a few games this past weekend but that does not mean there wasn’t a TON of action. High scoring games and a few brawls, classic NLL action. The Rock kept on rolling as they took down Colorado at the Air Canada Centre. Calgary defeated Minnesota in a high-scoring shootout on a score of 19-15. Colorado was able to bounce back and take down the Bandits at home. The Bandits in what seems to be a mid-season slump. Washington defeated Philadelphia on a score of 16-10. Buffalo was without John Travares this weekend and Philly was without their captain Brodie Merrill. Both teams didn’t have their key stars and both teams lost.
A handful of trades also went down this week. Some were pretty huge!
Rochester’s Casey
- Toronto Rock @ Philadelphia Wings
Connor Wilson – Philadelphia Wings “Either Toronto wins big, or Philly wins a closer scoring game. I like competitive lacrosse. I’ll go with Philly by 2 at home“.
Chris Rosenthall – Toronto Rock “The wings win their games in bunches, and they lose them the same way. They lost last weekend, and this weekend they’ll lose to the Rock“.
Ryan Connors – Toronto Rock “The Rock are just playing good lacrosse right now, can’t be stopped“.
- Edmonton Rush @ Rochester Knighthawks
Connor Wilson – Rochester Knighthawks “My gut says Edmonton wins. I bet against my gut when it comes to Rochester. I’ll keep saying it. ROCH wins“.
Chris Rosenthall – Edmonton Rush “I really don’t know why I bother picking Rochester games instead of just writing ‘I’ll take whatever team Connor picked.’ My system clearly isn’t working. I’ll take Edmonton; congrats Knighthawks fans”.
Ryan Connors – Edmonton Rush “Edmonton has won last 4-5, and Mark Matthews is on track to break the rookie goal record….I’ll go with the Rush“.
- Washington Stealth @ Minnesota Swarm
Connor Wilson – Minnesota Swarm “This did not work well for me last time, but I like Minny, and think they take this one“.
Chris Rosenthall – Washington Stealth “The Swarm offense came around last weekend, but it was against Calgary, and they’ve been giving up a ton of goals to everybody. The Stealth D is a little tougher to beat“.
Ryan Connors – Washington Stealth “Washington is another team that is playing great lacrosse right now. My boy Anthan Innucci is on a hot streak so I have to stick with the Stealth“.
- Buffalo Bandits @ Colorado Mammoth
Connor Wilson – Colorado Mammoth “Casey
