Playoff Time

The Rock started their quest for a 6th NLL Championship this weekend...

Nevermind that. I didn't watch a whole lot of NLL this weekend, now that the OLA has started, but I am happy that two things happened: Buffalo beating Philadelphia and Calgary beating Colorado.

With Buffalo winning it means more Rock fans will have the chance to go to at least 1 more game this year at HSBC Arena. If Rock fans get hooked in Buffalo, they may stop giving the team their hard earned money, and maybe it will be enough to force Kloepfer out of the front office. The attendance this year should speak for itself, but unfortunately, it hasn't (yet anyway). A new management team should be in place to scout the OLA this summer.

With Calgary winning, it will push Josh Sanderson more into the spotlight next weekend in the West finals, and accordingly, put the question out there in the mainstream lacrosse media: why was Sanderson traded when the team was 7-4 and starting to click? The power forward was needed, but not at the cost of Sanderson, and certainly not when the trade was made (back to back 14 goal games).

I will get back to criticizing the bizarre writing at NLL Insider soon.

Just in-Colin Doyle's Stealth got eliminated by Portland today. Before we put the blame on Doyle for only having 5 points (way more than Benesch's average this year), lets remember that he couldn't shut down Dan Dawson, who had about 45,000 goals today. At least the Stealth made the playoffs.

Let's hope for a Buffalo/Calgary final!
