Titans confident Powell will play

New York Titans coach Ed Comeau says his boys are tired of beating up on each other in practice, so they’re eager to get down to business in Saturday night’s season opener against the Toronto Rock in Florida.

But will the Titans being taking care of business without Casey Powell? No. 22 has yet to sign with the team for this season, but Comeau says he’s confident a deal will get done. “It’s all part of a process,” Comeau said on Wednesday. “I don’t think either party wanted it to come down to being this late, but we’re working on having him in our lineup on opening night.” Powell’s already in Florida, working his Holiday Lacrosse Experience camp in West Palm Beach. Powell led the Titans with 86 points (32 goals, 54 assists) last season and was a vital cog in the fast-paced transition game that helped carry New York to the East Division final, where it lost to eventual champion Buffalo.

“It’s just a matter of dotting the Is and crossing the Ts,” Comeau said. “But we’re pretty confident that both sides will come to an agreement.”
