Edmonton 15 Toronto 9

The Rock jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. On goals by Kasey Beirnes and Brock Sorensen. The Rush came awake soon after that. Scoring the next six goals. Before the Rock answered. The hole was too deep. As the Rush defense went to work. To stife the Rock offense.

Game two of the NLL Champions Cup final goes Friday June 5 in Edmonton at 9:30 EST.

NLL Statement to Swarm Fans

From NLL.com

The National Lacrosse League wishes to thank all of the fans in Minnesota who supported the league. We hope you will continue to follow the NLL and encourage all fans interested in seeing the NLL back in Minnesota to contact the Xcel Energy Center at info@xcelenergycenter.com to let them know you want the NLL to return to the Twin Cities.

Nice way to deliver a backhanded slap for a bad arena deal. Will the NLL return to Minnesota? I would not expect a return anytime in the near future.

Just swap out Minnesota for Edmonton. The NLL can use the same template. For the eventual Edmonton move.

Wondering around the web Swarm relocation edition

Rumblings of an NLL coming to Nashville are still out there. Too bad Edmonton and Minnesota situations. Will overshadow the NLL Champions Cup.  The off the floor issues. Are always such more entertaining than the on the floor action sometimes. While I can understand the NLL franchises going to smaller arenas.  However,It always seems like one step forward and two steps back with the NLL.

Buckle up the fun is just starting…..
