Well, for a modern, post war sports team what the Rush are doing is great accomplishment. Frankly I'm not concerned with irrelevant records, but I am proud of the team and their season. I have been a lacrosse and NLL fan since before the Rush came to town. So I'm aware that the league is somewhat of a novelty, between the NLL, MLL, CLax, WLA/MSL the lacrosse market is very punctuated and small. The lack of cohesiveness in pro lacrosse limits it's interest outside of certain regions, but at this point that is the nature of the game.
I think my point is that if people in Edmonton are interested in seeing some lacrosse or even seeing something new, now is the time to take a chance on the Rush. This is a team than has been built over the years since expansion, they've learnt and grown with the struggles they've faced and now are being rewarded. I don't think going to check out the Rush now as hopping on a bandwagon, but as an opportunity to see a special team being rewarded for it's endurance and commitment to building a winner.
IMO the best part of these games is that they are all incredibly competitive events. The Rush have had maybe 2 blowout games where they've clearly beaten their opponents, but the rest of the games have been close. These games have been won in the dying minutes by skill, effort, defense, or just will power. And honestly, I see something beautiful in that level of sacrifice and commitment to winning that these players present, knowing they have a full time job waiting for them just around the corner. Plus the games themselves are fun and the organization puts on a good show.
