2023 NLL Week 9

Posted on by

A very busy week in the NLL. We are fresh out of undefeated teams now, as the Thunderbirds rebounded from an 0-2 skid to deliver the Knighthawks a 10-goal trouncing. Meanwhile the Bandits went 2-0 on the weekend, the Rock gave up a 6-goal lead and allowed Calgary to tie the game late but then pulled out the win in OT, the Desert Dogs kept pace with the Rush for all but 6½ minutes in the second quarter where the Rush scored seven.

Can they match the Edmonton Rush’s 14-0 start from 2014? I doubt it, but I also doubted they’d be 5-0 at this point in the season.

Happy New Year one and all! Not a lot to talk about this week. I didn’t see the PCLC/Sask game on New Year’s Eve so I have no comments on that one. This coming weekend is a busy one with seven games, six of which are on Saturday night including four at the same time.
