We recap the Halifax Thunderbirds' historic 11-2 victory over the Oshawa FireWolves, where goaltender Warren Hill's 49-save performance tied a league record. Then we analyze the Saskatchewan Rush's 16-13 home opener win over the Calgary Roughnecks. Finally, we preview all seven games in NLL Week 3, giving our locks and sleeper picks, and put on our "tin foil hats" to discuss reports that the PLL will start its season on May 9th and the unified scheduling efforts between the two leagues.
