Casey Powell is arguably the best player in lacrosse. He is the reigning NLL MVP, and was acquired by the Boston Blazers in the Orlando Titans dispersal. Powell finished only 14th in scoring, but he is going to be playing side by side with the man who finished first, Josh Sanderson.
Powell is coming into a great situation in Boston, playing with two former MVPs in Sanderson and Dan Dawson. How will this affect Powell's numbers? It should in ways both good and bad. His point totals will go up, but his goal totals may go down. He will be double covered more than Sanderson or Dawson, but his assist numbers will go through the roofs playing with a finisher like Sanderson. But how did this all begin for Powell? How did he become the best player in the NLL?
Let's take a first look at his MLL career. In 2001 he was drafted by the Long Island Lizards, and led the Lizards to the first ever MLL championship. He led them to a championship again in 2003, and was then sent to the Rochester Rattlers in a blockbuster deal. In 2005, Powell was named offensive player of the week three times in the final four weeks of the season.
Powell was named MLL offensive player of the year in 2007. Powell is considered the best player in MLL history.
In the NLL, Powell has also had a storied career. Powell was drafted by the Rochester Knighthawks in 1998, and was traded to Buffalo two years later. He never reported, and was then traded to the Anaheim Storm where he made his mark. Powell was selected by the Portland LumberJaxx in the Storm dispersal, but elected again not to play. Powell was later traded to the New York Titans, and eventually Boston when the Orlando Titans dispersed.
His career year points wise in the NLL was 2008 when he scored 86 points. Something tells me he might overtake that mark this season in Boston.

Bayhawks Shock the World
I was writing here all week how the Bayhawks would not win the championship unless they did a few major things. Like, score consistently, have Kyle Dixon on his game, and stop Boston and Long Island from scoring. I said it would not happen.
It happened.
The Chesapeake Bayhawks took home the Steinfield Cup Sunday, defeating old-rival Long Island Lizrads. The Bayhawks already defeated favorite Boston the day before, their first playoff game since 2005 when they beat the Philadelphia Barrage to win it all. The Bayhawks and Lizards had matched up four times before in the early
2000's, winning the first the first three ever.
Peet Poillon was my player of the game, an absolutely outstanding day for the league's most improved player. The game was deadlocked or close most of the game until the Bayhawks began to dominate, scoring five in the fourth to the Lizard's one goal.
It was 4-4 at halftime and 8-8 going into the fourth quarter. The Lizards lost their rhythm on offense, partially thanks to Chris Garrity, my playoff MVP. Other top performers of the playoffs for Chesapeake where rookies Brian Carrol and Micheal Kimmel. Carrol scoring the hat trick for the Bayhawks, and Kimmel scoring a late goal to seal it.
The Lizards could have played this game better. They looked scattered on offense and Alex Smith dominated them on faceoffs. The Lizards lost their cool late and took too many penalties, highlighted by the Brian Spallina one in the second. Matt Danowski was held without a point for the first time this season, an obvious key to the Lizards loss.
No one gave the Bayhawks a chance, but they lived up to the old Baltimore Bayhawks tradition and beat the Long Island Lizards. This is the end of the MLL season. But stay here at the Lacrosse Blog, NLL season is right around the corner.

Meanwhile, the Boston Cannons defeated the Denver Outlaws to clinch #1 seed overall heading into the playoffs. A game where Matt Poskay scored yet another record, he now has 42 goals, breaking the Cannons record of goals in a season.
For Long Island, Goettelmann broke the record of all-time MLL goals last night in their win over the Toronto Nationals. Goetelmann was held scoreless the first three quarters, but scored the last three to secure the playoff spot of the Lizards.
The Bayhawks clinched their first berth since 2005, dfeating the Chicago Machine, who woul have clinch if they had won. Chesapeake also had to beat Chicago by four goals to offset the tiebreaker, or else if Chicago won next week the Bayhawks were out.
Championship weekend is August 21st and 22nd in Annapolis, Maryyland.

Top Plays of Week 10 and Other MLL Note
http://www.majorleaguelacrosse.com/game-highlight/1099/top-5-plays-of-week-10/
Here are your news & Notes for Week 11 of your MLL season:
Last week the Outlaws and Cannons clinched playoff spots, so there are only two more spots available for Toronto, Long Island, Chesapeake, and Chicago. My personal feeling: Long Island and Chicago will make it. Chesapeake does not scare me at all, and Toronto is all but out, but if a miracle occurs and Toronto makes the playoffs, they could be a dangerous team, or at the least a dangerous spoiler.
Award Winners for this week: Stephen Berger of the Lizards wins Offensive Player of the week, Kip Turner of the Cannons wins Defensive Player o the week, and Conor Martin of Denver wins Rookie of the Week in his MLL debut.
Those are you news and notes in the MLL for this week.
This week's action all takes place Saturday with Long Island vs Toronto, Boston vs Denver, and Chesapeake vs Chicago.

Another Look at the MLL
Last week I took a look at the Boston Cannons, Long Island Lizards and Toronto Nationals. This week let's look at how the season has progressed for the Denver Outlaws, Chesapeake Bayhawks and Chicago Machine.
Let's take a look where these teams are in the standings:
Boston 7-3
OUTLAWS 7-3
Long Island 5-5 2 GB
MACHINE 4-6 3 GB
BAYHAWKS 4-6 3 GB
Toronto 3-7 4 GB
The Outlaws have had a good year all season, fighing all season long to stay with Boston at the top spot of the league. Led by the 33 points of Team USA player Brenden Mundorf, the Outlaws can score with the help of Drew Westervelt, Dan hardy, and Max Seibald. Also on the roster is Team USA goaltender Jesse Schwartzerman, who is third in the MLL in GAA.
The Chicago Machine had a good start to the MLL season, but you imagine it's hard bouncing around city-to-city with no real home stadium. With Casey Powell opting out of playing this season, the Machine selected Ned Crotty of Duke with their first overall pick. Along with the Leveille's, the Machine can be a dangerous team if they find a way into the playoffs.
The Bayhawks, led by perennial all-star Peet Polion, could also be a team to look out for, or they could easily fall into irrelevance if the Nationals find a way to get hot. With Pollion second to only Matt Poskay in scoring, you have to go all the way down to ninth to find the Bayhawk's next leading scorer in Kyle Dixon. Chesapeake is second to last in scoring to only Toronto, a team that may turn it on later on in the season.
Let's take a look where these teams are in the standings:
Boston 7-3

Long Island 5-5 2 GB

Too Bad This Wasn't My 100th Post! USA Wins Gold
Team USA went into the FIL Championships with a lot of holes and a team not many believed in. They had lost two exhibition games, and just barely squeaked by the MLL All-stars.
Meanwhile, Canada was looked at as a power house, and understandably so. I mean, look at that roster!
Don't get me wrong, we all knew it was going to be USA vs Canada. I just assumed Canada would win.
The USA struck first in the first quarter, with a goal by Matt Streibel beat Chris Sanderson at the 14:55 mark. About two minutes later, Paul Rabil the soon-to-be FIL MVP, shot a rocket past Sanderson to give the Americans a multi-goal lead. Rabil scored again at the 3:04 mark, but other than that Chris Sanderson was a shut-down goalie the rest of the period. Canada was able to score twice to make it only a one goal lead going into the second period.
Ryan Powell scored quickly into the quarter to make it 4-2, but John Grant made it a one goal game once again. About three minutes later, Lizards superstar Zack Greer tied it. USA scored the next two goals to make it a multi-goal game once again. It was 8-4 Americans going into the half. Canada came out fighting in the next period, scoring the next four goals to make it 8-8.
The drama was building. All knotted up going into the final period of the FIL tournament. Ryan McClay scored the go-ahead goal for Canada at the 16:53 mark.
It was far from over, though. Brenden Mundorf of the Outlaws knotted it back up for the Americans. Again, Canada would take the lead and the USA would tie it, but Ned Crotty and Max Seibald would score the two last goals to give Team USA the gold.
Paul Rabil won MVP for the FIL, and may be this MLL season's MVP with the now playoff bound Boston Cannons.

A look at the MLL so far:
This MLL season has been an exciting one, with teams such as Boston and Denver proving to be powerhouse teams.
The current standings on this FIL break look like this:
Boston 6-3
Denver 6-3
Chicago 4-5 2 GB
Cheasapeake 4-5 2GB
Long Island 4-5 2 GB
Toronto 3-6 3 GB.
The disappointment of the year is obviously the Toronto Nationals, the world champions of last season. With players like Garret Billings, Dan Dawson, and John Grant Jr, they still have potential to be a force if they squeeze their way into the tight playoff race. After winning three in a row, it looked like the Nationals were alive, but it will be tough to rebound from a tough one goal loss to Denver two weeks ago.
Long Island also has an interesting case. They started the season off poorly as well, but have played decent in the last few weeks, and are now tied with Chicago, who started off the season real well. Led by Matt Danowski and Zack Greer, the Lizards are a team that can make some noise.
The Cannons are having a terrific year pushing for their first ever title, led by not only Paul Rabil but Matt Poskay leading the MLL is scoring. A 34 goal scorer two years ago, Poskay had a disappointing season last year playing only 7 games and scoring 15 goals. If the Cannons want to continue their run, they are going to need Poskay to stay hot as the new all-time Cannons scoring leader.
Later in the week I will look at Denver, Chicago, and Chesapeake.
The current standings on this FIL break look like this:
Boston 6-3
Denver 6-3
Chicago 4-5 2 GB
Cheasapeake 4-5 2GB

MLL Weekend Game Recaps
In the last weekend of MLL before the FIL, here are your recaps!
The Boston Cannons defeated the Chesapeake Bayhwaks Saturday to stay tied for 1st place in the MLL with Denver. Paul Rabil scored four goals including a two point goal. With Chris Eck out last night, John Ortolani was called up from the practice sqaud and made an immediate impact. He won the opening face-off and gave Rabil the opening goal. Matt Poskay scored three goals and is now four goals away from tying the all-time scoring record in Cannons history
Matt Donowski made MLL history in the Lizard's win vs the Machine, scoring three two pointers in his four goal night. As you remember, the last time the Lizards and Machine met it was an overtime thriller. This one stayed in regulation, however close. With three minutes left and the Machine up by one, one of Danowski's two-pointers took the lead and it stayed that way.
Meanwhile in the FIL world, the Iroquois nation has still been denied entry and it appears unlikely they will participate.

MLL Week in Review
Reviewing the last week of MLL action before the all-star game....
Denver beat Chesapeake in one of the biggest crowds in MLL history. In a ver rainy and overcast game, Matt Bocklet and Max Seibald had hat-tricks for the Outlaws. The rain created swamp at invesco made scoring difficult and the added pressure of the tough Denver defense made it hard, as Denver held the Chesapeake attack at bay to win the Fourth-of-July games, 12-10.
The Long Island Lizards beat the Chicago Machine in a must-win game. The Lizards were down by four points with 9:30 left in the game before scoring the next four goals and five points, thanks to Chris Fiore's two point shot. Chris Rotelli scored with 0:04 on the clock to tie the game, but !:42 in, Zack Greer scored the game winner for Long Island.
The Nationals defeated the Cannons, 15-13 to better their record to 3-5 and continue their win streak. The Cannons scored the first two goals, the first a first career goal for Stephen Boyle. You can read the rest of my Cannons-Nats recap here

Machine Aquire Levine
The Chicago Machine and Chesapeake Bayhawks announced a trade. The Bayhawks will send Jordan Levine to the Machine for Chazz Woodson.
“Trading a guy with Woodson’s talent is not easy; however, we think Levine fills a big need in our line-up,” said Machine Director of Player Personnel Scott Hiller. “At this point in the season, you have to evaluate your needs. Therefore, this trade makes perfect sense for the Machine and the Bayhawks"
The Machine have been looking for a midfielder since drafting Ned Crotty, they have good depth at Attack.
Woodson was the 20th overall pick by Long Island in 2005. Levine was the 10th overall pick by New Jersey in 2008. Levine has only played this season in Chesapeake, but he helped lead Toronto to a title last season.
