true but there are times when i think they need to take it to the net and they seldom do it. Snider used to do it and Mcfeteridge also

In many ways it is closer to basketball. In terms of your question - the skills required, and therefore players you use on D, is much different than the guys you use on offense. So it isn't like hockey where you have D and F playing at the same time, you basically have attackers and defenders.
Transition players are a blend - that are designed to push the ball up the floor - but the line between what is a Transition player v. a D is becoming very blurry.
The frequency of odd man rushes is also a lot higher when the teams have the long change. Dane Dobbie has made a living scoring goals on breakaways during those quarters.
Glad you enjoyed your first game.

Thanks for the info. What are the basic rules for penalties. I can see you're allowed a lot of contact with the stick but at what point is it crossing the line. Mid section to shoulders all legal? Allowed to set picks?

Yeah pretty much above the waist and below the shoulders is fine. In reality they often get away with a lot of other stuff.
You set a pick, but you can't get in the way of a player that is actively defending an attacker. Frankly it is often hard to tell what gets called and not called.

Particularly since they reduced the roster size.
As far as penalties go, your guess as as good as the referees most games. I've been watching since the Roughnecks' second ever game, and I still don't know what is going to be called from one quarter to the next.

The penalties are tough, the infractions that cause a change in possession are even together.

Yup. Near as I can tell, that is really just a push to the back or an illegal screen of someone away from the ball.

Not sure if the rush are this good or CALGARY is this bad but this is a blood bath so far and from what I have seen is a complete lack of interest and just aa ton of bad penalties. I think they are looking forward to the superhero game tomorrow and not the job tonight

Both. Rush are damn good and you simply cannot give them that many 5 on 3 powerplays. 5 straight goals by Greer by himself is pretty impressive.
Riggers should manage floor time in the 2nd half as they have the Swarm tomorrow - a team that hung 20 on the Rock last weekend.

Nice to see Saskatoon buy into the team though. 8600 last weekend, 9800 last night. The NLL needs some stability with some of these teams. And whenever Katz gets his replacement team, a solid Calgary-Edmonton-Sasktoon triangle would be big for the Roughnecks themselves.

I got season tickets to the Rush. Great sport to watch live. Hopefully the city continues to support. Supporting the team 9 times a year should be easy specially with a good team right from the start. I'm actually surprised how many rush jerseys i see in the crowd.

Nice little comeback win for the Roughnecks last night. Given how inept they looked in the first quarter, that was a remarkable win.

Took my friends to their first lacrosse game last night, they were getting a little antsy and wanted to leave when we were down 9-3 or something, I told them things can change pretty quickly in the NLL and we should stick around. Think they were more than a little surprised when the roughnecks actually did manage to come back and win it
Great game, my only complaint was the dickbag in my section yelling out random #### during the anthems (Ps. The girl who sang was absolutely remarkable, hope she gets to do Flames games in the future)

If you were in 219 I was in that section as well and wanted to drop kick him over the rail.

That's a very young Swarm team and once they started to lose the momentum, they didn't know how to get it back. I think the other thing is that Brodie Macdonald simply isn't a great goaltender. He had a lot of balls just hitting him throughout the game. He is a big guy so that's part of his approach - but when you have Dickson just ripping one off his big toe and he doesn't react - that's telling.
The game should have been closer at half time based on that alone, but once the Riggers started to put balls behind him - I think they knew they could score enough to come back.
Fun game and a big win. 3-3 now instead of 0-6 this time last year.
The Rush are in an entire class right now in the league. The rest of the league (except the Rock) are just a big mess of teams that can beat each other on any given night.
