After finishing the regular season with a disappointing 9-7 record, the Colorado Mammoth will move into the post season as the underdog against the highly respected Calgary Roughnecks. The Mammoth beat Calgary two out of the three match ups this season, and have fared well against them in their playoff history, defeating them in 2005 to go on to win the NLL Championship.
The Mammoth have been the more prestigious group this season, as Calgary was nearly out of the playoff picture at 4-9 with only three games left in the season. The roughnecks rallied to win their last three games and slip into the playoff picture once again, however, and are now as hot as ever.
To win, the Mammoth need to continue to play good team defense and continue to score goals on the offensive end. Though this is a John Madden-like introspection (noting his famous “the team who scores the most is sure to win” analysis), it really is that simple.
The game is scheduled for May 3rd at 7pm at the Pepsi Center. For tickets, go to www.ticketmaster.com or visit your local box office.
