What a Friday night.

Random Thoughts: NLL Week 1 Thoughts, Brodie Merrill Trade Lives On
We have one week in the books in the NLL season, and as much as some things do change, some things never change. What did change, an enhanced playoff format. I had read about this in an article from Steve Ewen several weeks ago and when I asked around to get someone to confirm it, […]
