Only four games this past weekend, but they all made my Awesome list in one form or another. If you’ve got some time and you didn’t see any of them, head on over to NLL+ (or TSN.ca in Canada*) and check them out. You will not be disappointed.

Game review: Colorado @ Toronto
This was a really entertaining game. It was close with a few lead changes and only a couple of leads of as much as two until the very end. I was going to list this game under the Awesome section of my weekly report, but it got kind of long so I split it out.
2026 NLL Week 12
We are officially at the halfway point of the season, as every team has now played at least nine games. The Rush are now tied for the fourth-longest single-season winning streak at eight games, the Mammoth are right behind them with a seven-game streak, and the Swarm have won five in a row. At the other end of the spectrum are the Knighthawks and Thunderbirds, who have each lost four straight, and the FireWolves with a five-game losing streak.
Lots of Awesomes and only a couple of Not Awesomes this week, so let’s get to it.
2026 NLL Week 11
I would guess that nobody is shocked at most of the game results this week, other than maybe the game in Banditland (which I guess was more unexpected than shocking). The Warriors beating the Knighthawks isn’t shocking (they did it last week too), but the final score was a bit surprising. The Rock and Swarm took early leads and won, the Seals and Roughnecks took early leads and lost. As always, there were a few things that were awesome, and a few that weren’t.
2026 NLL Week 10
A crazy high-scoring weekend with seven games, only two of which were settled by less than six goals. There were goals and hits and injuries and controversy. The Desert Dogs are an offensive powerhouse and the Bandits have suspect defense. The world has gone crazy.
Contact on a fast breaking opponent
The incident happened a little over twelve hours ago as I write this, and there are already tons of posts all over social media talking about it. Many are condemning the hit, others saying it was a legal hit blown out of proportion, and still others saying we need more of it in the game. Sorry folks, but this will be #1 in that list. It started out as a Not Awesome on my weekly report but quickly got long enough that I felt it deserved its own article.
