Major League Lacrosse Playoff Preview: Hamilton Nationals
The Hamilton Nationals have made the playoffs in their first season in Hamilton, but just by the skin of their teeth. Their last week win over the Long Island Lizards ensured a playoff spot and they will be taking on the Denver Outlaws. Hamilton makes the playoffs after finishing dead last in MLL...
Losston Cannons
Well, Boston had another chance to clinch a playoff spot and they failed. As of right now, I would say that their best shot is for Denver and Chesapeake to continue losing and to wait for the season to end. Their defense seemed shaky in the first quarter by falling behind 3-0 to the Nationals. They...
Nationals Looking For Revenge Against Bayhawks
On May 19th, the Chesapeake Bayhawks won their second straight game to open the season. They beat the Hamilton Nationals with a strong first half performance and they were able to contain John Grant Jr (he did manage to get three assists though). After that solid opening, the Bayhawks dropped a big...
Hamilton-Long Island Statistical Analysis 7/1
Hamilton and Long Island faced off last Friday on Canada Day and after everything was said and through, the Nationals were singing "O Canada" to celebrate their 15-9 victory.

Is there a rift with Styres and Grant?
John Grant jr played for years with the Rochester Knighthawks as the face of that franchise. Curt Styres buys the team, and just a couple years later he is traded to the Mammoth. Grant helped the Toronto Nationals win a championship. A couple years later, they move to Hamilton and Grant is traded...
Pythagorean Win Expectancy
A few days ago, Tim wrote up his mid season power rankings and this got me thinking about how the teams would finish. Being the stats nerd that I am, I started working on Pythagorean wins for lacrosse. When most people see Pythagorean, they think of the Pythagorean Theorem (a2+b2=c2). Well this is...
