Philadelphia hammers Denver in the MLL final

Wasn't even close.... The Barrage killed the Outlaws. Alex Smith got in the game several times in the 2nd half as Outlaw starter Trevor Tierney was shelled.

Poor Tierney never really got into the game. The reason the game was such a blow out was because Tierney didn't really make any saves and Philadelphia's face off guy was absolutely UNSTOPPABLE.

I agree the Phily faceoff guy was incredible. Denver really missed midfielder Sonke who didn't suit up.

They showed Sonke warming up Tierney at half time and he was wincing every time he took a shot. I know exactly how that feels. You don't realize exactly which muscles you are using until one of them is injured.

Quint gave Alex some nice comments when he first enter the game in the 3rd quarter - noting that he came from a college club team at CSU (not Div 2 or Div. 3).

Quint also said that it doesnt matter where you come from just work hard and try to walk on.

Yeah, Cantabene wouldn't have helped Team USA at all in the World Games.

Brian Dougherty was also a stud in net for Philly.

Unfortunately no. I had to work on-call for someone this morning and didn't get done until 2:30 so I had to watch it on TV.

Colsey and Kuczma are studs-gotta give them Cronhuskers some love.

Did anyone go? I thought that the crowd seemed a little sparse on TV but I have no idea about the size of the HD Center.

Yeah, Cantabene wouldn't have helped Team USA at all in the World Games.

Amen to that...must US Lacrosse be like all the other US sports organizations and field All-Star teams with no role players? (rhetorical)
