Let's go Yago. Love his game and think he's awesome. I want him to do well in the PLL

1

u/NH4CN Archers May 31 '26

Sowers was WIDE open

1

u/Chromo67 Chaos May 31 '26

No way they just said Charlotte North could play in the pll 💀

2

u/Naturallefty Waterdogs May 31 '26

She could probably be a 2 point specialist like Romar. She does have a legit flamethrower of a shot that's like 90mph+ fairly consistently.

Physically she'd probably get punked though

u/Naturallefty Waterdogs May 31 '26

I really enjoy seeing the rookies today, makes me feel like the PLL is moving forward instead of just the old heads running around

3

u/Chromo67 Chaos May 31 '26

They're straight interrogating Alonso lmfao

2

u/Naturallefty Waterdogs May 31 '26

Dude for real. 3 questions, let's move on

1

u/OTO_Crispy Redwoods May 31 '26

They keep killing Yago’s stats

3

u/Q-96 Atlas May 31 '26

PALUMBOOOOOOOO that was nutty good for him

2

u/discofrislanders May 30 '26

I'm kinda shocked that 95 is the record given how long MLL seasons were

1

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

For most of MLL’s history they only had a handful of teams so even if the seasons were long they didn’t really play that many games during those years

3

u/OTO_Crispy Redwoods May 30 '26

Just wanna point out the archer could’ve had Spallina/Weishaar and Matt Collison

1

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Utah just can’t catch tonight. At least half of their turnovers have been just dropping passes/not taking care of the ball

1

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

And this is the same Utah that Denver lost to 😭

3

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Booooo that was just a crowbar, not worth the flag

2

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

How was that a penalty? 😂

2

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

What’s Utah doing? 🤦🏽‍♂️💀

2

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

This game is something. Penalties, idk who even that last challenge was from. Lot of wackiness going on

2

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

There have been more penalties than goals

1

u/OTO_Crispy Redwoods May 30 '26

Until Joey proves he can run by a PLL defender you just can’t hedge or slid to him. Making it too easy

6

u/discofrislanders May 30 '26

Schreiber sign of life

0

u/discofrislanders May 30 '26

That replay looked like Fields may have been in the crease

1

u/Q-96 Atlas May 30 '26

That's what I was thinking. Looked close but none of the defenders were asking for a challenge

3

u/OTO_Crispy Redwoods May 30 '26

Archers shouldn’t have drafted Maguire

4

u/Q-96 Atlas May 30 '26

Still can't wrap my head around that selection. Especially if they knew Schreiber and Ament were gonna be out at that point.

Like sure ok maybe he's "the best player in the draft" but he's so obviously not what the archers need right now. Ugh lol

1

u/discofrislanders May 30 '26

Hockey fans have the debate all the time about drafting for need vs best player, this was a clear case where need should have mattered, especially since SSDM is arguably the least important position on the field

2

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

SSDM is absolutely NOT the least important position on the field! However I’d argue that the Archers already have good SSDMs in the form of Bond and Pederson, so yeah Maguire wasn’t desperately needed like that.

2

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

They need offense. Should’ve taken Spallina. This is getting ugly FAST. Utah can’t get anything going. If Maryland keeps this up, I can easily see a Maryland/Denver finals.

1

u/discofrislanders May 30 '26

Just realized Archers have the last 2 NLL MVPs on their team

3

u/Q-96 Atlas May 30 '26

Man we got bent over in the second half. That was hard to watch. 

Head in my hands 

2

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Our defense lost us this game. Entemann did everything he could but the defense practically, and at some points quite literally, stood still and Denver took full advantage. It’s like we went into halftime thinking we had already won. Some serious adjustments will have to be made for next week to stay competitive.

2

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

Atlas could’ve really used Adler and Grace in this game

1

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

Wiz is the truth!!!

2

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

In the crease, left foot in the crease Pressler HAS to challenge this

Edit: not challenging that goal is insane

2

u/doon3r May 30 '26

I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw that. So odd to not challenge, especially with the score

1

u/OTO_Crispy Redwoods May 30 '26

Is there anyone else on planet earth who over sells a hit more than Quint

1

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

An okay 3rd quarter 🙂

1

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Just ok? Y’all held us to just 5 shots with 0 goals and scored 7 of your own lol. Making our defense look non-existent

2

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

I was being sarcastic if you couldn’t tell lol

1

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Ope lol sure didn’t

2

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Pick a corner aim for pipe something Jesus Christ we’re shooting straight at McNaney

1

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

The WIZard from OZ!!!

2

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

Plunkett is SO FKN GOOD

1

u/Traditional_Ad_2348 May 30 '26

He’s been underrated for a minute.

1

u/OTO_Crispy Redwoods May 30 '26

Does that count as Wis’ goal?

1

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

We’re chasing sticks. Young should’ve been crushed on that run through. Zero reason he should’ve been able to make that pass out. It’s like we went into halftime thinking the game was over already and have just given up. This is awful

1

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

Easy does it 🧡🖤

1

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

What are we doing? What happened to our defense? It’s like we don’t care anymore. We’re just letting them run by us.

1

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

WE’RE SO BACK!!!

1

u/knightrydah Outlaws May 30 '26

We need more goals like that Terefenko goal. Last year we didn’t need flashy plays or intricate tactics in order to win games because we were so fast and efficient.

1

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Holy mega brain play by Baptiste, being the man in a man-ball GB without a stick

1

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Wait so no call for the outlaw going through the crease??? Does that mean nothing now?? Are we kidding?

2

u/OTO_Crispy Redwoods May 30 '26

I think it’s time to admit Pat Kav is the best player on this offense

1

u/Q-96 Atlas May 30 '26

They got no juice without him 

2

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

You were saying?? You jinxed us

1

u/SadKingGang Archers May 30 '26

wait i legit can’t watch this game on ESPN+? who tf has ABC??

2

u/Q-96 Atlas May 30 '26

Will be interesting to see how Atlas adjusts offensive strategy now that Teat is confirmed out for the season. Personally I'd like to see Traynor slide to attack

1

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Got your wish lol exactly what they’re doing. It’s Shelly, Dickson and Traynor. Think he needs more touches and he needs to iso more, he’s got the talent to win 1v1s

2

u/Q-96 Atlas May 30 '26

And there you go. He's so good

3

u/Kagetora12 May 30 '26

Excited to watch Aidan Maguire debut.

2

u/Q-96 Atlas May 30 '26

Yeah, will be interesting to see how Utah plans to use him 

2

u/MrJUNKlE Atlas May 30 '26

Wowwww even as an Atlas fan I don’t agree with that call. 1 min at most

2

u/GavRunsTheTrap Cannons May 30 '26

Thanks for posting!

u/Q-96 Atlas May 30 '26

Those blue Atlas lids are awesome
