2026 NLL Week 21
The 2026 NLL regular season has come to an end. The standings are final and the playoff bracket is set. You’ve probably seen the matchups in other places but just in case, next weekend we’ll have Vancouver hosting Halifax at 10:00 (all times Eastern) on Friday night, and three…
2026 NLL Week 20
The regular season is almost over and the last two playoff positions are not only down to the wire, but both will be decided in the best way possible: head-to-head.
2026 NLL Week 19
The playoff picture is almost set, as we now know six of the eight teams that will play in the post-season. Once Halifax beat Rochester, Georgia clinched the fourth spot and the door was open for Toronto and Buffalo to clinch with wins. They both did, and so now we have Ottawa,…
Thank you for this - I honestly did forget what day it was and was just about to post a serious comment on what's certainly a joke post. You saved me the "OMG I can't believe I fell for it" posting later

2026 NLL Week 18
A couple more playoff decisions have been made, as Calgary and Oshawa are now out. Nobody else clinched so right now, we’re at three in and three out. We have a 10–5 team (Georgia) and a 6–9 team (Halifax) and with only three weeks left in the season, it’s still possible for…
New on NLLStats.com: The list of games for the current season can now show upcoming games

MVP for me right now is Dobson with Bal and Teat as the other two finalists, but Andrew Kew is knocking on that door too
2026 NLL Week 17
What an incredible weekend of games. Keegan Bal and the Warriors clinched a playoff spot by holding off Jeff Teat and the Black Bears in a meeting of the two top scorers in the league, the Mammoth held off the Roughnecks who were never out of that game, and the Rock beat the…
2026 NLL Week 16
The 2026 trade deadline was this past Monday and once the trades started being announced, it seemed like they just wouldn’t stop. No real blockbusters, but there were a couple of significant deals and a number of smaller trades as well. Las Vegas made a number of moves to improve…
Longest single-franchise careers
There are players in the NLL who seem to move around almost every year. Callum Crawford and Mat Giles played for 12 teams each, and Ryan Benesch is running out of body space for the tattoos he gets of each team he plays for. But there are others who have played…
I have no idea. You were using nonsense words like "Shigeto" and "Yppah" earlier so I assumed you'd had a few beers
2026 NLL Week 15
Week 15 wasn’t nearly as busy as week 14, but there were some important results this past weekend. The Rock and Thunderbirds had their offenses working while Colorado and Rochester didn’t, and the FireWolves held off a late surge by the Wings. Next week features a few matchups…
Damn.... That was Josh Byrne / Callum Crawford-esque, and that's saying something
2026 NLL Week 14
There were ten games this past weekend, which ties for second place among the busiest weekends in NLL history - the last weekend of the 2007 season featured eleven games. Every team played, a bunch of teams played twice, and yet the standings didn’t change an awful lot. The Black…

2026 NLL Week 13
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.
TOO MANY MEN
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.
Not sure I agree with the logic of leaving Simmons out of the Offensive Player list because his team is bad but Chaykowsky winning Defensive Player despite his team being bad
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…
Quite possibly the least popular hockey player ever, Sean Avery
ICYMI: 2026 NLL Week 11
Awesome: Paul Tutka and @tymerlax.bsky.social, TOR, OSH, PHI, standings
Not awesome: Gash/Clark fight, BUF, pregame fight, goalies in YVR

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…
Kid Rock's biggest song is "Bawitdaba"
It's funny how those angry over "I didn't understand Bad Bunny's lyrics because they're in Spanish" are the same people saying "translate his lyrics, they are inappropriate for kids". If your kids don't understand them, who cares? And Kid Rock's biggest song is "Bawitdaba"
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…
2026 NLL Week 9
A light week in the NLL with only four games, and all ended up fairly close. The Swarm took out the Rock in OT, the Seals came back to beat the Wings by two, Vancouver led 10–3 in the second until Ottawa surged but couldn’t get closer than three back, and Oshawa got within two with…
2026 NLL Week 8
We’re about a third of the way through the 2026 NLL season. A bunch of teams are playing as well as expected or even better: Saskatchewan, Rochester, Colorado, Ottawa, Las Vegas, and arguably Georgia. Others are struggling: Calgary, San Diego, Philadelphia, Oshawa, Halifax. I…
