NLL Insider

Way back at the start of last season, I tossed up an article on Christmas Day, wondering about what we might be in store for during the 2008 NLL season.

One thing I asked was, who would be able to score 40 goals, get nailed for 40 PIM, and scoop up 100 plus loosies?

It was kinda my shortcut formula for the guy I deemed the best power forward in the game. Someone who could score, hustle, and even throw-down when need be.

The results? Well, no one actually hit the trifecta I was hopin’ for, but a bunch of guys posted some solid numbers nonetheless. After the jump, take a look at who came the closest to the 40/40/100.

Athan Iannucci

Goals: 71
PIM: 35
LB: 138

John Grant

Goals: 47
PIM: 16 (his lowest ever penalty #’s in a full season of pro indoor lacrosse)
LB: 116

Scott Evans

Goals: 44
PIM: 28
LB: 88

Mark Steenhuis

Goals: 34
PIM: 27
LB: 121

John Tavares

Goals: 29
PIM: 23
LB: 91

And that was about it for last year. A number of guys hit two of the three, but were usually way behind in the last column.

Think anyone will hit the trifecta in 09? What’s your definition of a power forward in the NLL? Hit the boards and let us know. The best stuff posted on the forums during the off-season could find its way into Inside Lacrosse’s NLL Preview issue.
