Early Season Look at the East – Contenders & Pretenders

There are plenty of questions coming out of the East Division entering the third weekend of the National Lacrosse League calendar.

How do the defending champion Georgia Swarm rebound after being stung in their opener? Can New England create separation in the standings as the Bandits and Knighthawks battling each other? What does an 0-2 start mean for a Rock franchise with high expectations?

My NLL Broadcast partner Brian Shanahan joined me to discuss the impact of each East team’s offseason transactions and early reaction to their production on the floor.

The East Division is involved in all three NLL matchups this upcoming Saturday:

• Bandits at Knighthawks
• Black Wolves at Rush
• Swarm at Mammoth
• Rock on the bye
