MLL Title Game Reactions
Couple thoughts on the game and television production.
I have no patience for Quint telling us that he spoke with hundreds of people who complained that the NCAA championship was too slow. For as many make believe friends as Quint has, non lacrosse people told me that they loved watching collegiate lacrosse on television Memorial Day Weekend. The fourth of the MLL title was boring as was the second half of the Hamilton and Denver game. Just because you had one slow game and it happened to occur during championship weekend doesn’t mean you need to rewrite the rule book. From a television production standpoint, talk about the game we’re watching now, Quint. Bringing up NCAA lacrosse reminds me of little I care for professional lacrosse.
Rabil and Walters did nothing. Let me rephrase, Rabil had at least two assists, none of which I remember, and wrecked Casey Powell in the final moments of the game. The only time I remember Walters being involved in the game was when he was celebrating with Powell after a Powell goal and an ill advised 16 yard over hand shot to Jordan Burke’s feet. Walters is only being mentioned now because of what he did yesterday. Not surprisingly he got nothing done when it counted. Rabil finally captured that elusive MLL title to slightly distance himself from the Lebron comparisons despite a pedestrian performance.
No reason for Brett Queener to enter that game when Scott Rodgers is available to play the duration. Why you would take out the next Team USA goalie who was playing beautifully in favor of Easton’s side show is something Bruce Boudreau would do.
Watching face-offs this weekend made me want to watch someone learn how to speak French. Nothing quite like two adults laying on the ground not moving for extended periods of time to retrigger play. Wasn’t this supposed to be addressed?
Why Jake Steinfeld’s interview was a spilt screen and not a voice over is beyond me.
Steinfeld may have leaked Rabil signing with Warrior. Something I told you would happen back in May.
Casey Powell banged his knee is a weird collision with Rabil and Merrill in the final seconds of the game. Posting the video eventually.
Is Steinfeld serious about bringing glowing sticks to MLL television productions?
Did you know the Ohio Machine will use the same uniforms as the Chicago Machine?
By far my favorite season of the MLL to date. Rabil barely contributing and the Cannons still winning as well Walters being a ghost in the finals made the conclusion of the season that much sweeter.
