2017 NLL Week 1 Rankings

Opening weekend in the National Lacrosse league was actually rather dull in regard to quality games. The Rock pummeled the Knighthawks and Colorado led the Bandits by as many as seven themselves. Toronto has been finding relative success in Rochester lately so I picked that way. The lack of Adam Jones led me to take the Bandits over Colorado in the second game. However the first full week of games is this week with all of the remaining teams playing that didn't in week 1.

Power Rankings:

1.  Adam Jones makes them that much scarier, but him not in Mammoth gear is odd. (1)
2.  Scott Self starts his 1st year with his 10th team in 17 seasons; Culp's been around too. (2)
3. All things considered, I still think Ward is an underrated goalie. (4)
4. And they lead the overall series against Colorado?! (3)
5. Maybe Riggers can take after Toronto's start...(6)
6. There's a first (and last) time for everything - including playing on Thursday night.(5)
7. Poulin could be a great help for a playoff push.(7)
8. Maybe the preseason is true to form...(8)
9. This franchise leaves me more questions than answers.(9)
