To Laxxal's point, maybe have 10 teams with 2 play-in games? Adding Rivers and Tabor, who had so many close games against the top 8 would have been fun! I always love an additive solution! Monday play-in games of 7 v. 10 and 8 v. 9 would be a lot of fun and I like that this option allows teams who ...

Predictions for tomorrow? Bel hill in a really close one over Thayer 11-10 Nobles upsets sebs 13-11 if Grosso can win the face off battle Milton over RL 9-7. Middlesex over govs 12-9. Anyone else have thoughts ?? Good stuff. BH by either +5 or it's way too close for comfort. Grosso won 70-75% on Sa...

You know that I fully respect your contributions to the ISL, but I just can't get on board with your three-tiered playoff system. As you point out, the two most interesting match-ups tomorrow feature the #2/#7 and the #1/#8 seeds. If we reduce the top bracket to six teams to reward regular season s...

My thoughts on tomorrow. Would love to hear what others think as well. Three fresh rematches, two of them incredibly so. Chalk results wouldn't surprise me too much, but neither would four upsets, which points to a very evenly matched first round. #8 Thayer @ #1 Belmont Hill: A tough draw for the to...

RL website says they are at Milton on Wednesday. Nobles website says they are at Seb’s. So I think that means: Thayer @ BH Nobles @ Seb’s Middlesex @ Gov’s RL @ Milton Those match ups confirmed: https://www.laxjournal.com/isl-boys-lacrosse-full-tourney-schedules-and-results/ I wouldn't be surprised...

RL website says they are at Milton on Wednesday. Nobles website says they are at Seb’s. So I think that means: Thayer @ BH Nobles @ Seb’s Middlesex @ Gov’s RL @ Milton Good to detective work CO. ISL schools rarely put info up on their sites quickly, so for that to happen feels definitive to me. Kin...

If Govs beat MSex, there are three 6-5 teams Thayer (who did not play Brooks, BBN, RL and BH) Rivers (who did not play Govs, BH, Sebs and BBN) MSex (who did not play Milton Tabor, STG, Lawrence) Thayer beat MSex and Rivers so they should get 7? MSex beat Rivers so they should get 8? Is this the way...

likely finish at 7-4 Middlesex Nobles Milton Thayer RL Rivers A look at the final week for these teams. Middlesex (6-3) @ Belmont Hill 5/8, vs. Govs 5/11. The Zebras just need one win, but that won’t be easy. If MX is among some teams from the list above to stumble to a 6-5 finish, they have good t...

I'll believe it when I see it up and running, but apparently Deerfield at Nobles @ 6:00 today will be streamed. https://twitter.com/Deerfield_Lax/statu ... 1370787887

Thanks porkchop. I’ve said it many times over the years but BH’s record in 1-2 goal games is phenomenal. Obviously they always have great talent, but they also just don’t blink.. The most striking thing to me is the complete 180 they have pulled from the patient deliberate game to up tempo/push tra...

Middlesex close with Belmont Hill and Govs, with Govs potentially still having a shot at the second seed (I don't know how tiebreakers work). I could see the Zebras falling to 6-5. Assuming Seb's win out (not a given with Nobles on Friday) it'll be interesting to see who gets the tougher draw betwee...

Thanks porkchop. I’ve said it many times over the years but BH’s record in 1-2 goal games is phenomenal. Obviously they always have great talent, but they also just don’t blink..

14-12 Belmont Hill. Saw this on Twitter. Would love some color from anyone who caught it live.

Belmont Hill @ St. Seb's at 5:00: The must see game of the (regular) season that sadly I won't be able to watch live. Should be a great atmosphere in Needham. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mZfVCFCZYg

No doubt. Perhaps was a little off the radar since he's a hockey guy, even though he got HM All-ISL last spring and plays for Laxachusetts.

Making an educated guess on #1 (which will be announced tomorrow) here is a recap of the Bostonlax top 100 players. 50-100 were done alphabetically, and 1-50 ranked specifically. Always an interesting list. It’s a little odd because I assume it’s compiled preseason, but since it’s released during th...

Belmont Hill 13 - Nobles 12: BH held a 13-8 lead but the Dawgs made it interesting. St. Seb's 14 - Tabor 3: 4-1 at the half but the Arrows blew it open in the third quarter. Govs 10 - Milton 9 (OT): Govs should be favored in their three remaining games and look to have a top four seed all but wrappe...

Some real good ones today. Belmont Hill (7-0) @ Nobles (5-2): The hottest team in the league hosts the most consistent one, with probably the top two faceoff guys in the league squaring off. Tabor (3-4) @ St. Seb's (7-0): The playoffs effectively start today for Tabor as a loss puts them in a perilo...

I would be willing to bet it becomes a really tough week for Sebs and Nobles, who has been bested by BH much more often than not in the past 15 years. That's fair (though BH has the longest title drought of the three), I more just meant to rivalry games in 48 hours would be tough. To me they're coi...

I suspect that Salisbury fielded an underclass and mostly JV team against Hotchkiss and (as I said before) Hotchkiss has one or two Playa’s, so against a JV squad, they’ll stand out. Props to the Crimson Knights for giving their reserves an opportunity to play a competitive game with Varsity rules ...
