In the Colorado Mammoth’s first game of the season, they were blasted by the Saskatchewan Rush, 18-6, and didn’t look anything like the team that won the National Lacrosse League Cup a year ago.
The up-and-down play continued throughout an injury-affected regular season, as the Mammoth finished 9-9 and fourth in their division.
“That being said, the experience from last year served us well when we didn’t play well. Making the playoffs, it was closer than we hoped. The last two games we knew we were in the playoffs and maybe we took our foot off the gas . But once we hit the playoffs, it felt like we became the playoff team that we learned to be the year before.”
“It’s hard not to think they’re going to come in with a bigger sense of urgency than they did last year,” Coyle said. “It felt like last year, they maybe took us for granted. I don’t expect that from them this year. It’s going to be harder for us, and it’s hard to repeat anyways, but we’re really looking forward to the challenge.”
