Why Rochester Won: Osburn Style

Chris Osburn on NLL Insider:

This has been an up and down season for the defending champs. After two straight losses to league basement dwellers Chicago and Edmonton, it appeared that Rochester had nothing left.

Now the first part I agree with, it has been an up and down season for Rochester. What gets me is him saying they had nothing left when they boast one of the most incredible players ever: a guy who easily scores about 100 points a year and a guy who increased the production of every player on the team. This guy scores 8 points and has 13 loose balls on Saturday. Any team in this league would have a chance with John Grant playing offence for them.

Those losses to the basement dwellers were each by 1 goal. Other close games this year for Rochester: a 15-14 loss to Philadelphia and a 18-17 loss to Minnesota.

Just a couple more goals throughout the course of the year, and the Knighthawks are a 9-2 team.
