By Aaron Holm -
One thing I have maintained is the longer this series goes on, the greater chance the Wild have of pulling off the upset. After hanging with the Hawks in game 1 and playing poorly in game 2, the Wild can ill-afford to be making mistakes and taking stupid any penalties against the Presidents Trophy winners.
In other news, Your Minnesota Swarm were eliminated from their playoff run yesterday as they fell to the Rochester Knighthawks 12-10. Now I'm no lacrosse expert, in fact sitting down to watch the 4th quarter yesterday was probably the most LAX I've taken in one sitting. I hate have to say we got hosed here, a goal a little more than midway through the 4th quarter was disallowed because I have no clue why. Somebody stepped in the crease a year ago or something and we paid for it then. You'll have to have Bryan explain what happened and how the rules work exactly if your a newb to the sport like me. All I know is the goal would have put us up by 3, late in the game, and after that all momentum shifted towards the Knighthawks. Congrats to the Swarm on a great season, and expect to see me at the X next season for a couple, you have me intrigued.

Really? I think its closer to 2013, I hate it when people make the comparison just for comparisons sake. I had an apple today that was just like one I had 10 years ago, mmmmm....

The first whole quarter of Swarm lacrosse I watched was the last of the season. I, like the team, will be back for more next year.

Unlucky? Brown missed an elbow clearly directed at one of your guys in the past week. I'd say that's pretty lucky.

Did Blackhawks owner get reporter fired after ‘tremendous amount of sex’ flub? | Puck Daddy
I'm not sure of her past, or how shady and offensive it may be. But I think its pretty shitty that one little slip can all of a sudden cause the team to dig into your past and fire you for something unrelated to your current position. I mean, if I said I used to be Canadian, would HW let me go for all the Maple Syrup?
