I have an important matter that needs to be cleared up regarding the nets used in NLL games. In every game that I've watched so far, I've noticed that the nets don't have any of those little metal bars inside the posts that keep the net from being dislodged.

In NHL hockey, they have those little metal pegs that keep the net from being dislodged. Well.... why don't they have those same pegs in the NLL? Too many times before the posts get jarred loose because goalies and other players would sometimes accidently push the nets off.

When a goal is scored WHILE the nets are dislodged, the goal usually counts. Personally I don't think a goal should stand if the ball goes into the net while the net is loose like that. A goal like that wouldn't stand in the NHL and I don't think it should stand either in the NLL. What do you all think about the NLL putting in small pegs in the floor to prevent the net from getting all loose and moving around. I for one think it's a great idea. Please let me know what the rest of you think. Thanks.

Regarding the middle post, I believe they do not keep it there is to make sure the ball stays in the net and not come out after a goal. It just makes it easier to tell if a goal is scored or not. Thats what I believe.

As for the pegs, they are playing on an ice surface. So it would be very difficult for them to be able to put pegs into the ice for a lacrosse net. I have seen this use a modified net at some of my rep games. They have a flat piece at the bottom of the post which extends out and you can place this into the hockey peg hole. This may be a bit dangerous as the people run into the crease sometimes after a shot.

Just my two cents.

Oh ok.... I just gave my thoughts on it because it doesn't make sense as well as defeating the purpose when there's no pegs holding onto the nets like there should. In hockey, a goal is immediately disallowed if the puck goes in while the pegs are off. Since NLL lacrosse is also a pro sport, I think they should make it a rule about that.

But... ANYWAYS... we're just fans... nothing we can do about it! LOL Actually, that gave me an idea! I think I'll contact the NLL and mention that. I'm interested in what they'll have to say about it. I'll get back to ya after I get a response from them on it.
