Yeah bruh is that normal? Some kid told me that lacrosse is the most violent sport aside from football but I think he was talkin himself up, I ain’t seein it. Hell there’s more contact in a XC race than in this game.

And Hockey is for sure tougher than this

Simon Jeffries well it’s regional I think. The east coast is where the best lacrosse is, but with that skill and finesse comes a drop in physicality. I played in the Midwest and the game was waaay more brutal that this. If you got near the crease you were getting destroyed, no question…if you put your head down to get a ground ball, they weren’t attacking your stick, they were launching at your head…much lower scoring too. But I’m in no way a lacrosse expert and haven’t played in years so I’m not sure. Definitely less vicious than football though, similar to hockey but lower speed collisions and no boards to crash into

For sure...good call, Pat.

I'd say lacrosse was fine for a LONG time without a shot clock. Then we had over-coaching enter the picture and position players. Instead of up-and-down run 'n' gun lacrosse, it was...hold on, let me get my subs in, let me get my d-mids off. And then, there was expansion of DI so you had really overmatched teams just sitting on the ball hoping to eek out a 6-5 win against a much better team. Pretty much people starting taking lacrosse too seriously. The game is about fun, scoring, speed. Go out, see who can score the most goals, and don't act as if the world will stop if you lose. That's pretty much the biggest problem across all sports these days - we treat them as life and death and overanalyze and overcoach everything. Roll the ball out and play. If you lose the lax game, come back and try again in three days;) Oh well, I have no problem with the shot clock, but PLENTY of high scoring lacrosse games in the 80s and 90s without one. Just saying.

@@nayr497very well put..!!!

Maybe they just enjoy playing?

these highlights are pretty cool to be fair

bad shot placement

@@frazerboyum2370 Yep. Desperation shot, just wanted to get it off in time. Tough to be accurate that way.

it was a bad shot

Nah 5 great twams and one excellent marykand team. Maryland just played poir

I'm a goalie i don't wear pads but when ur being hit with 90 mph shots having leg pads makes it somewhat bearable

@@aaronzimmet3441 yea im also a goalie and getting hit over and over with the ball really takes its toll on you so leg pads arent really a soft thing

Stupidest take ever... I know goalies who got hit so many times their shins have calcium deficiencies. Maybe you should educate yourself before you make such a stupid comment.

​@@ethanisaiahkim Impacts don't cause calcium deficiency as far as I can tell. Maybe you just knew a bunch of people who didn't drink enough milk, happened to play goalie, and confused correlation for causation.

@@idkmachining6892 former pro goalie, honestly I don't understand how you can think that protecting yourself from future injury is a soft move
