So I'm no lacrosse expert, I basically have been going to the playoff games for the past 4 years once the Flames are done so I could be competely off base on this, but is the Roughnecks goalie completely incapable of making a clutch save? That seems to be the difference to me each year. He wasn't that bad tonight ( was terrible in the prior years in my eyes), but just can't make that one save they need when the chips are all down.
Is there a reason they keep this guy around (assuming I'm
Not offbase)? Is it hard to find a replacement in this league? Do they have to be local given the low salaries?

Poulin is a good goalie. tough position to play. the roughnecks are a good team, the rush are a great team. i dont think it matters who they have in net for the most part.

There were 3 or 4 times when the Roughnecks nearly beat Bold - ball bouncing around his feet, to have it stay out and the Rush score at the other end immediately.
That's the game right there.

last night was a perfect example of why the Rush are so good, calgary holds Matthews and Greer in check and they still put the boots to them. great team, nothing else to say

Yup, they've built a great team and hey have the 1st and 3rd overall picks in the next draft as well. They will be atop the NLL for a looong time.

Definitely Edmonton. Don't even care for Sask.

I don't think this year's draft has a Matthews, but it has good pieces.
There challenge will be freeing up spots for these guys. The players they draft 1st and 3rd can and will expect to step in. So you need to move some of your other guys - which the Rush will likely do in return for more picks.
They have a great thing going. Literally not a single weak spot on that roster.

I feel like Calgary and Saskatoon would both benefit on and off the floor from having another team in Edmonton. Let's hope Daryl Katz owns it so they're no good for a while.

What a series, awesome season for Saskatchewan!
It's very premature, but I'm thinking threepeat next year. ☺

this is a team that could continue to win for many years. teams like calgary need to find a way to get better quickly.

Here is the order for the upcoming NLL Draft. Calgary 5th and of course the Rush pick 1st overall. How do they keep doing that?

The Rush bent Vancouver over on a deal a couple years ago.
They are an incredibly well run franchise. Their biggest challenge is going to be creating roster space for these high picks. Most top picks expect to get playing time out of the gate - I expect the Rush will move out a guy like Curtis Knight this off-season to clear some space.
From what I understand - this draft isn't really strong. I expect the Roughnecks will continue to try and add some pieces on the back end. Bell was a very good pick last year - but they still need some youthful legs back there.

I went to see a MLL game while I was in Denver the past few weeks.
Is there any cross over of athletes? I don't think the seasons overlap.
It was enjoyable, but my boy and I prefer Box to Field.

There is definitely crossover but not to the extent as summer box lacrosse in BC and Ontario.
