He was very good tonight. I wondered if he was the main reason Akwesasne tied Six Nations last night. Has he honestly played no where until three weeks ago? What happened that open the doors for him?

Henhawk was not in the lineup for the Nay on Thursday, Tim Obrien was wearing his #. Shawn's deal to Brampton I believe was 2 first round picks in 2010, 1 first round pick 2011, and 1 first round pick in 2012, plus future considerations.

Buzz win with backs against the wall......

by tbone16 (Login tbone16)

The Buzz can thank some great "D" and even better goaltending for their 4-2 win over the Rebels tonight, it was quite the display between the pipes. The Nations tender was no slouch either, as the Buzz could not score in the first and went to the dressing room down 1-0. A very solid second by the Buzz gave them a 3-2 lead, with the eventual game winning goal potted by a defensive specialist on a fast break showing a great burst of speed and a great finish. In the third, the Rebels had a lot of good looks, and #7 was his usual slippery self, but when a goalie is this hot, what can you do?? The Buzz got their two goal cushion before the mid-way point in the third on an absolute rocket from the top of the circle, goalie is still waiting to see it! There were a few too many penalties for my taste, and one bout that had the Buzz player tossed for instigating, but nothing that should carry over to game 5.

For those that are at game 5, I hope it is a nice clean affair and that the best team wins, and may that best team be from Oakville!! Go Buzz!!

by classicpro (Login classicpro)

well defence was the name of the game, the defence contained #7 which brought much frustration to nations ,buzz dominated the 3rd and the amount of rain this summer hindered the corn growth:::::: no broom , this certainly was more entertaining than game 3 and l wish both teams all the best in game 5 ,you both for the most part have displayed great discipline and a passion to play, best of luck

welland and carman vs Guelph

by olanomind (Login olanomind)

Too bad for the Regals, they were doing quite well as team. Evidentaly someone saw fit to chop the team up and introduce a few new names that did nothing to help the game today. why weren't Vandersluis and Sett on the floor? They were a part of the earlier wins but in a game that matters they are up in the stands? The team didn't deserve the loss but from there up I'm glad your decisions got you todays results.And you carman, the worst ref in jr lacrosse, where do you get off mishandeling a playoff game that badly? Welland couldn't do much wrong around you could they? I think you should find something else you can't do properly and go give it a try.

The league was asked earliar in the season that Carmin didn't do any more of Wellands games either!!!! And this went straight to the commisioner of Jr.B lacrosse. Maybe OLA Should look at rather sending refs down who can't ref Jr.A to ref Jr.B To look at the real problem and get rid of the garbage refs. Sending them down to a lower level of lacrosse doesnt make them better, It just pisses them off!!! Knowing that they can't keep up!

Congratulations to the Cornwall Celtics

by Newmarket Saints (Login wrd81)

The Newmarket Saints would like to congratulate the Cornwall Celtics on an excellent season and opening round playoff series. While the series was taken by Newmarket in 3 games all games were hard fought, exciting and close right to the end. The level of play displayed by Cornwall and I might suggest Gloucester as well against Mimico would indicate that the Far East is not to be taken lightly. Congrats to both teams.

Brampton vs Orangeville

by Repo (Login laxnuts)

Some random observations...

good game last night, looks like Orangeville has a lock on first place now.

Thought the new guys for brampton looked ordinary , the big new kid on defence is Jr B caliber at best why would they ever bring him in from the west? anyone got some insight on that what a waste.

if these two meet in the playoffs it should be a good one, I thought brampton would have been better than they showed with all of the noise that has been made of there pick-ups, but then again most pick-ups are other teams cast offs.

should be a great playoffs in Jr A lacrosse

You should do your home work before you comment....Tinning was one of K-W's best players and their top scorer and he requested a trade to get a chance to play in the Minto Cup. Also Potter was one of St. Kitts top scorers and was probably moved for the same reason....they are not some other teams cast-offs!!!

Continious O.T. or Sudden Death Overtime

by (Login 5dollafan)

How does everyone feel about the Overtime system in the playoffs?

Do you like the 1-10 minute period, then Sudden Death.
or
Continious 10 minute overtime periods.

I ask this question not just because we lost, but I ask this question because I feel a Referees call should never result in a loss for any team, nor do I think the Referees should be put in that position where 1 call could make them look like a bad guy and decide the fate of a game.

Atleast with continious O.T. periods the team can't complain because they would've had equal time to do something.

Just a thought....

So I ask, How do you feel about the Overtime system in the playoffs?

Do you like the 1-10 minute period, then Sudden Death.
or
Continious 10 minute overtime periods.

A penalty in the first minute should be a penalty in the 71st minute

A penalty is a penalty you can not give a team the green light to do what they like even if it is overtime. A referee's job is to insure that the playing field is level.

i never said that.. i said if there's a 10 minute over time period before sudden death the penalty if it so happen let in a goal wouldn't cost the game... just like any other penalty doesn't cost the game... during regulation then the teams can use their brain and be more careful before sudden death o.t

Brampton Goalies

by why? (Login Twiggy19)

I do have to say Tyler Carlson was awesome tonight in Orangeville but I thought their guy was Steve Fryer, why switch it up unless they don't think Fryer is a big game goalie, just a wierd coaching decision for me, play Fryer every big game until tonight. Brampton may be happy with a tie but it actually almost guarantees Orangeville 1st place. Awesome game regardless I hope these two teams play again in playoffs or the Minto final because it will be a battle start to finish.

Thats the way the cookie crumbles

by Thomas Miller (Login 5dollafan)

Last nights game was probably one of the best playoff games I've seen in years. "The call" was okay, but the timing of "the call" was harsh. A penalty is a penalty though wether or not your in the first period, overtime or in this case sudden death overtime, hopefully Game 4 we wont let them hang in the game that long to let something like that happen again.

Good game Regs, Keep your heads up!

Both teams had the powerplay in overtime so it was not like it was a crazy call. Guelph had the chance to bury welland in the 2nd period when they were down 2 men for 7 or so minutes then down 1 man for another length of time but only managed to get 2 goals out of it, some big saves and big defensive plays kept welland in it in the 2nd.

Tough sell

by Abused Fan (Login krashr)

It must be damn near impossible to get new families into the game in the east and the west due to the travel. You have a choice to play baseball or soccer and there will be a league within a one hour radius. Lacrosse you have to travel some two hours for a regular season game. I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of Nepean or London Minopr Lacrosse trying to bring in new players.

Only need 1 win out of last 3 games and it could put them in. Either Six Nations or St Kitts. They beat Nations earlier this year on home turf, but will be tough to do again, especially at the ILA. Orangeville is a no doubt loss, but at home to finish the year against St. Kitts and this new look team could be interesting.

In the playoffs?

by Michael (Login mcelliott2)

Can't see it happening in a close game. Snider is too valuable on the floor, so if the coach has anything to say about it, it would only happen if there's a healthy lead for one side or the other.

Either way, I didn't see last night's game so can't comment on whether O'Brien ducked the challenge, or whether he just sucked Snider into getting a pointless penalty, more to come later.

I do know that Snider ducked a challenge early in the game the last time these two met in NLL......so, which one is scared of the other???

Nationals try to stall Machine

by Ron Messer (Login moonwooten)

July 2nd, 2009FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TORONTO NATIONALS TRAVEL TO CHICAGO SATURDAY NIGHTNationals look to break three game losing streak on the road TORONTO The Toronto Nationals travel to Chicago, IL to take on the Chicago Machine this weekend Saturday July 4th at James M. Shuart Stadium at 5:00 p.m. EST. The Nationals (4-4) look to break a three game losing streak after coming off a disappointing 20-16 home loss to the Denver Outlaws on June 27th. We are a very good team when we are winning the transition game and not so good when we are losing it, said head coach Dave Huntley. The last few games we have made fewer positive plays and more negative plays in transition than our opponents and that has been the difference. Toronto defeated the Chicago Machine (1-6) earlier this season at BMO Field on May 22nd in the Nationals inaugural season home opener by a score of 15-11. Huntley says the group of guys traveling to Chicago this weekend will be prepared for a strong effort against Chicago on Saturday. This is a very big game for us, said Huntley. Chicago will be a dangerous team as they are playing with their backs against the wall. Nationals attacker Merrick Thomson, who leads Major League Lacrosse in goals heading into this weekend with 26, also knows how important the match-up against the Machine is for Toronto. This game is very important because we have dug ourselves a hole by losing the last three games, said Thomson. We need to get back on track and make the push for the playoffs over the next few games. The Chicago Machine are led by brothers Mike Leveille with 24 points (18 goals, 1 two-pt. goal, 5 assists) and Kevin Leveille with 23 points (15 goals, 8 assists). Kevin tallied six goals and one assist in the May 22nd meeting between the Machine and Nationals while Mike recorded two goals and one assist. To beat Chicago we need a team effort and will focus on shutting down the Leveille brothers, said Thomson. MLL takes a week off regular season play while the MLL Alll-Star Game Young Guns vs. Old School style is held in Denver on July 16th. The Nationals return home to host the Boston Cannons on Thursday July 23rd at 7:30 p.m. EST

Globe & Mail report on a survey of Canadians

by gardell (Login teepeesforever)

Excerpt from Wednesday's G&M:

Despite the claim by many in recent years that soccer is fast outstripping hockey in the hearts of Canadians, it just ain't so. Hockey is not only the most popular sport but also chosen as the country's most representative symbol, significantly ahead of both multiculturalism and medicare. Don Cherry will be saddened to learn, however, that most Canadians do not equate fighting with fun in their national game. As for the other official national game, lacrosse, black armbands all around, please. Lacrosse matched cricket in popularity, with less than 1 per cent of Canadians selecting it as the game of choice. And as Donolo says, lacrosse and cricket appear to be "meeting going opposite directions."

Re: Globe & Mail report on a survey of Canadians

by John Rowinski (Login guy712)

Saw the survey. Interesting to note that the report did not include the QUESTION that was asked. If it was "what is your favourite sport", the result is still disappointing but not shocking since lacrosse likely still takes second spot to hockey in a lot of players/fans minds. If the question was more along the lines of "do you like lacrosse", then the result is of far greater concern, because it means that lax is just not on the radar screen. I suspect it was the former though. There are lots of other factors too, such as the survey size, the demographic surveyed (used to work in downtown Toronto and can tell you that fans there are few and far between, especially when compared to the 905 belt). Bottom line is that much of the problem for lacrosse is a simple lack of exposure. I have been contemplating for some time, and this should spur me to finally do it, writing a letter to the Globe (I'm a subscriber) to admonish the paper for lack of coverage of our summer national game. For crying out loud, the sports section will devote whole pages to soccer, tennis, dull Olympic sports, but we are lucky to see a report on the Rock or Nationals in a little thumbnail or once a week standings. Outrageous for Canada's "national newspaper". I encourage other fans of the game to get on the Canadian media to do its part in promoting and exposing this great sport!

Re: Globe & Mail report on a survey of Canadians

by gardell (Login teepeesforever)

to think, the Globe & Mail (actually it was just called the Globe before it merged with the Mail and Empire)once donated the championship trophy to senior lacrosse. The great game was part of their heritage as well as the country's.

Brampton vs. Orangeville

by Tom Templeman (Login Tom_Templeman)

This game should reveal a lot about the upcoming playoffs.

Two things that strike me about these clubs. Orangeville is taking way too many penalties and Brampton has a poor faceoff winning percentage.

I will be there if anyone wants me to point out the intricacies of the game. I'll be wearing a Burlington 3rd jersey.

Should be a fantastic Junior A lacrosse match.

Perfect player to help the Borough make a push for good playoff seeding.

Here's also hoping we'll get to see him dance with O'Brien to try to unify the heavyweight championship!

Direct Release

It was a direct release to Brampton Jr "A". He decided he'd like to try for a Minto, so we let him go.

We wish him the best of luck.
