2016 Calgary Roughnecks and NLL Thread
With the pre-season game this Sunday and the roster being announced today, time for a new Roughnecks thread I figured.
Roster is here
Will be a very different look up front, looking forward to seeing Digby play. Hopefully a bigger role for Leung on transition. And a familiar looking defence.
One big question with the roster - where the heck is Roe? Not even on the practice squad? Really want to see this kid play.
I've been saying for a couple of seasons they needed to shake the team up, we had a really consistent lineup for a long time. Nice to see some new blood. I am a little concerned that so many new players might expose some weaknesses in our coaching. Still not a huge Malawsky fan, we'll see what he can do this season.

Losing Evans is tough but Digby is a truly unique player. His size and athleticism make him a very tough guy to cover. You can't cover him 1:1. You combine him with Dickson and you have two very hard challenges for the D.
I think Berg is going to be very impressive. Looking forward to the offense having a different look - it was a little stale.
Looks like they are moving up McRae from D to Transition - he'll do well there. The D is therefore going through a lot of changes. That might be a weak spot to start the year.
I've not yet heard what the deal with Roe is. Will try to find out.

Just heard from someone who knows Roe's dad, apparently he got hurt in camp and got cut. Crappy. As my buddy said, won't take long for a guy 6' 10" with good hands to catch on somewhere. Surprising they cut him loose, didn't they trade to get that pick?

He hasn't shown enough to be worth a pick.

Thanks for the summary, seems like a busier year than the past few for moves. Hope it shakes things up a bit.
Necks signed Bob Snider to the practice roster today. Local boy which is good for the fans, and I think he has good seasons left in him. He's coached my boys in field lacrosse and I think he is an excellent guy.

I am going to my first ever roughnecks game tonight. I have a question about length of game though. I understand its 4x15min quarters, but my question is more around length of the entire actual event.
Game starts at 7pm, when can I reasonably expect it to be all finished?
I am wondering if I need to take my hockey gear with me for my 1045pm ice time tonight or if I am going to have time to go home first.

Interesting trade just before the season starts.

de Snoo is starting the season on Bandits practise roster. Goodwin was the last pick of round 1 in 2014 draft. He has some offensive upside but was still and off the board pick back then. We'll see how he performs.
I think the D is a weak point unless LeClair and Bell are super-quick learners it could be a long season against some of the offences around the league.
They need a stud dman. I also wouldn't be surprised in Del Bianco take over starting netminder position by season's end. He had a great camp.
Let go RoughNecks.

Horrendous meltdown tonight. When the Rush finally pushed, the Roughnecks simply fell apart. Three SHG against is inexcusable.

I was at my first roughnecks game tonight. Terrible meltdown after being up 6-2. Great atmosphere though they sold me on going back again. How does the play off format work for this league. How many teams make it through

3 teams in each division. First place gets a bye
First round is single elimination. Second round 2 games with a tie breaking mini game after game 2 if need be.
Finals are a best of 3

Well, that game happened. Not sure what went off the rails in the third; 5 shot on goal for, and 2 short handed against. And that one in the second where the ref blew the play in without a Roughneck player in the area, spotting them another.....ugh. Maybe if they hit the net more instead of trying to go through 2 defenders (dammit, Dobbie), and learned how to transition....
And then there are those new Rush colours. I can kind of handle the green on the jersey (can't be worse than the Swarm), but the green and white of the names HAS to go. Most other teams I can usually read the name on them, but on the Rush ones the name is just a green blur, and the number isn't much better, just larger.

The D played better then I expected, had good pressure all night. Few breakdown caused the goals.
Frankie played really well too. The O is adjusting with all the new faces. I still see a playoff team.

Transitioning to defence was miles ahead of the last few seasons. They struggled to go from D to O, but a lot of that is likely the Rush. Curious to see how they do against Buffalo next weekend.

the one issue i have with them is when they have a partial break, sometimes they need to take it to the net instead of always setting up..... i do like the youth injection, other than about 5 or 10 minutes, they played a pretty solid game

Take the opportunity when it's there but often the right play is to let the offence get on the floor. A missed quick strike keeps your d on the floor and now tired.
