In the offseason, I added splits to my normal NLL stats & then built another doc focused on goalies & how well/poorly they do at all shift types.

Then I never really talked about it. Until now. Whoops. Let's look at 3 NLL starters using these stats📰https://t.co/tTGTWEVe3L

Week 12 saw a firecracker of 4-on-4 scoring, which had me wondering: Do teams still score less 4-on-4 than 5-on-5?

I've also thoughts on the NLL's midseason awards exercise, including who I think are the frontrunners.

FINAL: LV 9, GA 12

Vegas falls back to .500 at 4-4; Georgia improves to 6-3.

If you said Georgia would be 6-3 at the halfway point of their season, then you're a dirty liar. Impressive win.

You're focused on the wrong game this weekend.

The best offense in the NLL clashes with the best defense in the NLL this Saturday. I preview the Desert Dogs & Swarm's strengths & weaknesses ahead of their battle at Gas South.

Sitting at .500 after a 1-3 start, the San Diego Seals clearly have issues. But are those plights novel to the 2025-26 season, or do these problems date back a few seasons?

They date back a few seasons. Here are the numbers backing that up 📰https://t.co/yyycBxhtxE

Everyone's played at least four games, so we're done with small sample sizes. Let's look at who's kicking ass or getting theirs handed to them at certain shift types early in the 2025-26 NLL season.

FINAL: COL 7, GA 5

It took ~49 minutes until a team scored a 5-on-5 goal in a game that was more discombobulated offense than anything, filled with penalties and special teams.

Mammoth improve to 3-2; Swarm fall to 2-3.

We've all seen the Thunderbirds' slow trots back to the bench bite them in the ass before, but we've never really looked at the stats and seen how bad they are at reverse transition. Until now.
