Can't wait until this weekend as the NLL opens up their 2010 season. I'm heading into the city and checking out the Blazers home opener vs. the Toronto Rock at the Garden on Saturday night. It should be a great game, as the boys from Boston are hoping to build off of their inaugral season where they surprised a lot of people and made it into the playoffs. They are a very talented team and return the majority of their roster from '09. I'm sure they want nothing more than to get that 1st one of the season in front of the Boston faithful; so if you haven't gotten your tickets yet make sure you do!
The MLL schedule was just announced today, you can check it out at www.bostoncannons.com We open up at home vs. Denver, a rematch of the semifinal game from last season. If you haven't purchased your Cannon's tickets yet.......what are you waiting for???
The indoor game is played at the same speed as the outdoor game but in a confined space (hockey arena) so the stick skills are insane. There are 6 players on the floor compared to 11 players on the field and there's no such thing offsides in indoor. Teams can pull the goalie if there behind in the score and play 6 O vs. 5 D (6 including the goalie). I've honestly believe that American players who play indoor at that level develop better sticks and become nasty shooters; they go from shooting on a 4'x 4.5' goal to a 6'x6'. I played indoor for 3 years and it's a different perspective from the goal where I was totally padded up and the trick was not to move. Field lacrosse goalies are taught to attack the ball, totally different mindset so for me I prefer field over indoor and day of the week.
