The Cannons have been on a tear over the last few weeks.
In theory, that would be like the Kansas City Chiefs losing Patrick Mahomes for the year in August.
So you’d figure the Cannons would be in for a lonnnnnng summer this year.
But like I said, this team is a wagooooooon.
They can’t be stopped right now.
Which leads one to ask the question–are the Cannons actually better without Lyle Thompson?
The answer is no.
It’s purely coincidence in timing right now.
There are way too many variables at play here to just pin it on one specific thing.
There are a variety of different reasons, but they’re just a better offense in general right now.
One of the best offenses we’ve seen in years, actually.
The rest of the summer they’ve just been filling the back of the net with ease.
They’ve scored the 2nd most goals in the league and somehow that feels like they’re underachieving.
The Atlas have given up the most amount of goals in the league so far this season.
The league average is 74.5 goals allowed at this point, and they’re sitting at 86.
So one of the best offenses in the game going up against the worst defense?
It’s not rocket appliance to see how this one is going to go.Archers -1.5and the over.
Granted, 7 out of the 8 teams in the league make the playoffs.
But the Chrome have the Archers, Redwoods and Chaos left on their schedule after this week.
I don’t see them winning 2 of those games.
So if they lose this weekend, the best they’d end up is 2-8.
That’s not getting the job done.
With that being said….give meWhipsnakes ML.
They’ve had a couple of bad weeks back-to-back here after such a hot start to the season.
But something tells me that a wild goal from Josh Byrne will end up being the difference maker here.
Sunday, 3:30pm // Waterdogs (4-2) vs Cannons (4-2) // ESPN+
Waterdogs vs Cannons.
Potentially a championship preview, and it’s a shame this game won’t be the ABC game.
I think both of these teams are as evenly matched up as possible.
Both teams have offenses that snap the ball around and everybody eats.
So I’ll call the goalie matchup a wash here as well.
That is thievery in broad daylight.
