Shanny’s Power Rankings: Week 14
Return to Blog Home
Wow. Again, another surprising weekend. Chicago beats Minnesota – not a huge surprise – but you have to like Chicago’s 10 goal run after a slow start. Rochester defeats Philly — not a surprise at all. The Rochester Knighthawks are a bundle of dynamite, it’s just that they often forget the matches to light the fuse. Edmonton stifles San Jose 12-5. Now that’s a shocker, especially after Edmonton’s lackluster game in Toronto last week. Who would have thought the Rush could shut down an offense with Colin Doyle, Jeff Zywicki and Luke Wiles.
It doesn’t look like the Power Rankings have changed much but try to use your imagination to picture this. A month ago the distance between number 1 and 12 was huge – you would have to scroll down your computer a long way to go from Philadelphia to Chicago. Today the distance between 1 and 12 is much smaller. If we could we would squish them on your computer screen today. It seems that all 12 teams are jockeying to finish the season at 8 and 8. That’s parity.
1 (1) |
New York Titans 6-5 In Minnesota next week. A chance to prove they belong at top. |
2 (2) |
Philadelphia Wings 7-3 40 goals against in last 2 games. When they lose – they lose big. |
3 (3) |
Minnesota Swarm 7-4 Lost 4 of last 5. |
4 (4) |
Toronto Rock 7-4 Rochester at home and then to Philly next week. |
5 (5) |
Buffalo Bandits 7-5 Hosting Colorado. |
6 (7) |
Colorado Mammoth 6-4 Host Rochester then travel to Buffalo. |

San Jose Stealth 6-5 Will have to shake off worst loss of year. Need at least a split against Portland next week. |
8 (8) |
Rochester Knighthawks 5-6 No one got traded or fired. Maybe they’ll start playing lacrosse like they can. |
9 (9) |
Calgary Roughnecks 4-8 Next week’s game in Edmonton might as well be a playoff game. |
10 (10) |
Portland Lumberjax 4-7 Face San Jose three times. 2nd place within their sights. |
11 (11) |
Edmonton Rush 3-7 They weren’t listening when everyone said they had no chance. A victory over Calgary next week moves them into playoff position. |
12 (12) |
Chicago Shamrox 3-7 Two great weeks in a row but Shamrox are too far out of it. |
