The Potential of a Rochester MLL team
We have heard rumors all summer of the MLL returning to Rochester. Well, recently more details have emerged with this potential idea. In an article at Inside Lacrosse.com, it says soccer club Rochester Rhinos owner Rob Clark wants to bring the MLL back to Rochester. Here is the exact quote:
The NLL team Rochester Knighthawks have always drawn very well, proving that lacrosse can market itself in Rochester. So will we see an MLL team in Rochester? Signs are pointing to yes.
"Rhinos owner Rob Clark, 37, who acquired the team in early 2008 after owners Donner, Frank DuRoss and Chris Economides defaulted on a $10.8 million loan, says he may bring the MLL back next year. The team would play about 10 games at Marina Auto Stadium, something city officials and the Rhinos, who run the city-owned facility, want.
More events would help the Rhinos attract corporate sponsors. The soccer team would run the lacrosse club, just as the sports group did the Rattlers, who Clark says "were never marketed here at all."

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.

Who Will Win MVP? Matt Poskay
This is an interesting debate. You have Matt Danowski, Kevin Leveille and Matt Poskay, the recently named MLL Offensive Player of the Year.
My Case; Matt Poskay. There are several reasons. For one, where would the Cannons be without him? Other than Paul Rabil, Boston does not have many other dominant scorers. Rabil has 20 less points this season than last season, so I wonder where the Cannons would be without him. Playoff bound, probably, but maybe not championship bound like I see them.
Poskay is like the Rajon Rondo of lacrosse, he is undfendable. You cannot come up with a game plan to stop him. He'll do something else. Poskay has made a stellar comeback from cancer last season as well, when many thought he would never play lacrosse again, where he has become one of the MLL's most dominant forces. We saw this from Poskay a few years ago, and thought he might become the player he is. But after his illness-shortened season, we wondered if he would ever be that dominant force in the MLL. he has come out and proven to be more,the MVP of Major League Lacrosse. (At least in my book)

Playoffs Clinched for Four Teams
Last night the other two teams clinched their tickets to to the playoffs, with Long Island beating Toronto and Chesapeake beating Chicago.
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.

Disscusion Topic: Casey Powell
With the much documented dispersal of the Orlando Titans, I questioned the future of Casey Powell a few days ago. But let's go deeper into this; With the upcoming dispersal draft, it has been widely assumed the Colorado Mammoth, with the worst record in the NLL the year prior, would select Powell. However, now reports are saying they might select Matt Vinc to sure up their goaltending woes. That leaves Powell wide open for the Blazers to select him, which could make them a very dangerous team. This theory goes out the door, however, if Vinc elects to terminate his contract after the Mammoth select him.
But the real question for me here is Powell's future in the NLL. He has sat out the MLL season and Team USA this summer. He won MVP of the NLL with the best record in the east Titans.
Would Powell play in Colorado, or terminate his contract? Would he play in Boston? I think he would, because if Powell comes to Boston, that team can be scary.

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.

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.

Rochester Looking to Bring Back Team
Rob Clark, the owner of a soccer franchise Rochester Rhinos, says he wants to bring back a MLL team to Rochester. Clark, in his third year as owner of the Rhinos pro soccer club, helped bring an MLL regular season game to Marina Auto Stadium last month when the Chicago Machine played the Denver Outlaws.
“Last month’s game proved that Rochester is supportive of both soccer and lacrosse” said Rhinos CEO an owner Rob Clark. “I am committed to showcasing the highest caliber sports teams to our community, not just the Rochester Rhinos, who have never missed the playoffs in their 15 year history, but starting a new winning tradition with a lacrosse team featuring the best players in the world.”
Lacrosse has had a history in Rochester, with the Rochester Knighthawks of the NLL, and the Rochester Rattlers of the MLL played until 2008. There is also speculation the Chicago Machine may move to Rochester next season.

MLL All-Star Game Review
Last night Team USA eked by the MLL All-Stars, 13-12, to finish their exhibition play.
The Bud Light MVP Brenden Mundorf scored six goals for USA and scored the game winner. Ryan Powell scored the goal that brought them within one and the game winner. For the MLL All-Stars, they put in a terrific effort, with Anthony Kelly, Kevin LeVeille, and Peet Poillon scoring two goals a piece.
The key to the game was the MLL All-Stars great defense that shut down Paul Rabil. The MLL All-Stars were projected to have great defense, but at times in the first half Team USA looked over matched. They dropped a lot passes and looked very sloppy on offense, and blew some coverages on defense. They ended up with the lead after two though, with a five goal second period.
The Halftime skills contest was spectacular. Paul Rabil defended his title as hardest shot, and tied his record shooting 111. Chicago rookie Ned Crotty won the two point contest, and Kevin Bucanan won the free style, scoring after running up a staircase made of people (including Anthony Kelly) balanced on the crossbar, and scored.
In the second half, the MLL All-Stars made a run and took the lead, 9-6. Matt Danowski scored on a two point shot to tie it and then the All-Stars scored three more goals. But Mundorf took over again and scored two goals before the end of the period to cut the lead to one going into the fourth quarter. Ryan Powell put in the game winner with 1:00 left.
The USA did prevail in the end, but have to make some big time adjustments going into the FIL. Adam Fullerton looked bad in net, and USA had butterfingers in the first half. They have the talent to win, but they need to take improvements out of this.

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.
“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.

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.

MLL Mock Draft
The MLL Collegiate Draft is tonight at 7pm. Here is the NLL Mock Draft:
Round One:
Machine: Ned Crotty, Duke
We saw Crotty in the NCAA championship game last week, and previewed his line mate Max Quinzani. Especially with Casey Powell's status in question, they could use a guy with the talent of Crotty.
Bayhawks: Mike Kimmel
The Bayhawks GM Spencer Ford has reiterated time and again he plans on taking Kimmel.
Cannons: Max Quinzani
You can look at the post below to read all about Quinzani, and he fits the bill in Boston to play beside Paul Rabil.
Lizards: Scott Rodgers
We also saw a lot of Rodgers recently as the goalie of Notre Dame. He fits a Lizards team that could use a good goaltender.
Outlaws: Ken Clausen
Denver is worried about Clausen's availability, as he may be taken before they can snag him. They could use a midfielder, and Clausen fits in nicely.
Bayhawks: Brian Carroll
The Bayhawks may option to take Parker McKee, but Carrol may be the option.
Cody Jaimeson, the expected #1 pick in the NLL, will likely be selected by Toronto in the second round.
