Minnesota Swarm (3-11) 9
Colorado Mammoth (8-5) 15
The Swarm Have the Gait Closed on Them
Friday, April 1, 2005
St. Paul, Minnesota
Attendance: 10,054
The defense was okay maybe a bit better than usual this year. The
offense started quick as usual in the 1st, but slowly sunk into the
quagmire which is the last 3 periods of the game.
I would agree that Disher gave a good performance. Before
two of the goals were scored, Disher went to the bench for the extra
attacker; however, Colorado quickly turned over the Swarm and each time
beat a streaking Disher, not a great visual, to the goal to score.
Also, by the time I blinked early in the 2nd, the Mammoth scored 3
goals to take the lead.
New Swarm player Tony Henderson is a big
guy, no doubt. Had a little trouble adjusting, but he will come around
and contribute well. I know that he is definitely a welcome addition to
the team.
Again, the Swarm kept penalties to a minimum and the
fighting was practically negligible. However, Riley Kemp did throw his
gloves off to start a fight against, Brian Langtry, I believe that was
the Mammoth player, correct me if incorrect, but Langtry walked away in
fear of the imposing Riley Kemp.
The Swarm power play did well
again, but we just didn't create enough scoring chances to keep up with
the Mammoth, whom after the start of 2nd always responded when the
Swarm chipped away at them. I am not sure why the Mammoth doesn't have
a better record with their talent, which is abundant, but you could see
improvement from the Swarm from the time we played the Mammoth in
December to now.
Paul Gait sure must have been hurting when he
originally retired, because if you didn't know he had been gone for a
couple years, you would think he had been playing during that time. A
little rusty to start, which the Swarm took advantage of early, but the
Roughnecks and Sting better watch out. Both Paul and Gary were
introduced separately under the spotlight after the rest of Mammoth
came onto the field. As Travis Hill said today at the Season Ticket
Holder party, I am paraphrasing since I always forget quotes, it was
unexpected to see them together playing again, but it was quite a
highlight to play against them. I would agree with Travis that it was
great to see lacrosse greatness together again.
The crowd, as with everything in Minnesota, came in at the last minute. Most of the
lower bowl was filled and a good amount of the middle level also was
filled. Of course, after the Swarm Performance Team passed out free
t-shirts and we were behind by four, the crowd did begin to file out a
bit. However, a solid core was still representing at game end. Hope to
see the same numbers and more for the game against Philadelphia on
April 15th, for Fan Appreciation Night sponsored by "KARE 11", yes
"KARE 11, the Minnesota Lacrosse Leader", yeah right. Also KARE 11 will
be giving away a free team poster to the first 10,000. Hopefully that
team doesn't consist of infomercial luminaries like Chuck Woolery,
Ameriquest and has-been celebrities doing pilates.
Once again Swarm fans, unite on April 15th at 7:30 pm, to spay and neuter the
Philadelphia Wings. We can hope that a Swarm win that night eliminates
the Wings from playoff contention.
