Viper Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 After three seasons with no TV coverage at all except for last season's Champion's Cup Final on Versus, the National Lapdance Lacrosse League has inked a nine-game deal with that same network for this season.The contract includes regular-season and postseason games, and begins with the 2011 NLL All-Star Game, which returns this year on Feb. 27 after a one-season hiatus. Unlike previous NLL ASGs this one will be played at a neutral site, specifically the Turning Stone Casino in upstate New York.About ing time, I say...

Don Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Good to see the NLL get some national coverage, its really a great league and I've had a great time at every NLL match I've been to when I lived in Denver.

Jer15 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I jumped out of my chair when I saw this. Between Versus and TSN the league is well covered on TV now.

Magnus Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Not sure what happened to them until now. I remember watching the heyday of the Rock when they were dominating.Nice to see the league improving its footing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Great news. I hate that NLL games haven't been available. I've caught a bit of Bandits action on Livestream in the meantime, but sometimes it lags or times out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drives me up the effing wall when it times out.

Viper Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Bumping this, as it turns out the NLL ASG will even have a connection, tenuous as it may be, to the late, unlamented Chicago Shamrox:The Daily Herald reported Thursday that the village of Hoffman Estates voted to sell the Shamrox’ turf to the NLL, who needs it for the upcoming All-Star Game at Turning Stone Resort.

RyanMcD29 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I would go to the All-Star Game, but A) It's expensive to get over to Turning Stone unless I would find a ride and It's the same time as Syracuse-Army lacrosse If it weren't for those two factors I'd try to go over to see it Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 East 30, West 26 is your final, and Shawn Evans of the Rochester Knighthawks and East is the MVP.The red, green and black unis (on both teams, no less!) were ugly as hell, even the tiny arena at Turning Stone didn't look completely full, and as usual in all-star games there was no defense or physical play to speak of. Oh, and the Versus announcers (John Gurtler and Brian Shanahan) f king sucked.But hey, the NLL is back on national TV! W00t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 30-26?Sounds like defense is optional in the NLL, no matter if it's a regular season game or the All-Star Game at some casino that I never heard of until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring 12 goals in a game is usually enough to win. Meanwhile shutout quarters, while not commonplace, are not unheard of either and not even all that rare.
