Nice of Fusion to show up with a different roster than the NLF Opener.

Take your loss and hit the weight room

The Express North coach shoved on of his players on the sideline during their game against Chaos. Not a good look and potentially criminal.

One should never be surprised by the nonsense anyone of these lacrosse organizations pull it’s the Wild West and there is no governing body to hold anyone accountable and enforce any rules . Accept it it’s worse than aau basketball every team outside of Long Island is a super regional team and until the egos that run all of the LI orgs stop getting fed LI lax will always be a watered down version vs off island teams . Just reality

Agreed on the Philly and Boston teams but the CT/Westchester teams are locally sourced. Every one of those Eclipse kids is from Fairfield County. Also worth noting that 2way knocked off Igloo in Maryland today.

Must be only this 91 team it seems and must be the leadership. Their players continue to boast on social media of their prowess against mediocre teams while tournament completes its first day. Next day get #1 seed and get smoked by Eclipse. Maybe they should post videos of those 2 goals that they scored or should be more humble.

Ouch Chaos. Can’t be happy ending the season with WS and NLF showings

Did you see stat sheets?

Chaos is the best team in Long Island. It is clear.

Don’t worry. 91 Long Island will be a regional/national team by high school. Look at their 2026 team. Fly in players from all over now (their best player is from FL) to maintain the “brand”. Express keeps it local for the most part.

Big boast to be best team on LI. Unfortunately even if it was true, game over for 91 Chaos until the Venom reclasses come to the team in 2 years. But by then Express and Rebels will be looking at 91 in their rear view mirror.

This season and years past, yes. Not going forward. Heard it here first !

2029’s are sheltered in some tournaments too. Wait until you play in tournaments where everyone is 2 years older because that’s what the older LI teams do week after week. Holdbacks are killing the sport. LI is actually behind the 8 ball with our school cutoff date and our lack of holdbacks.

This

Express with two big moves already and more in the works.

Spoiler Alert: Moose and Igloo runs are over. You heard that here first.

Chaos I’m sorry is not the best team on LI this season
Whether u agree with the rankings or not but even the rankings show they play a weak schedule every tournament and lose when they actually play a good team. And let’s be truly honest they played eclipse 4 times in one season and could t figure out how to win one game? I think the best team in LI would figure out how to at least accomplish that. And good for express getting kids to come to there team hopefully those kids have outside trainers etc because they won’t get taught much in that organization it’s just not what they are about.

All Aboarddddddddddddd

Total nonsense. 91 average team but still best on LI this past year and that’s a fact.

Below average

quick math top 5 records vs LI teams
91 2-2
Express 8-5-1
Moose 10-5
Igloo 9-0
Rebs 4-5

feel free to confirm for yourself.. I am sure everyone has their excuses ready...

That’s great but some of these top teams are small and can’t handle the smoke of the reclass teams outside Long Island.

to clarify that LI vs LI.. yeah I agree some are to small but obvi there will be some movement so we shall see who gets better next year and bigger...more of just pointing out to the 91 poster who chirps silly chirps .. dont let the facts get in the way of a good story

Another dense igloo troll. Igloo cant beat anyone out side of the Blatant town cup. Once at the NAL they were served breakfast more than once. Let’s stop with cheerleading and be realistic. Certain programs aren’t built for the next step and that includes Igloo, Rebs, Moose, Shore, etc. There is nothing wrong with those programs, but if you are a top player you will require more. Hence why things are getting fool and the top players from Moose and Igloo have moved on to the next chapter. It’s no longer a p!$$ing match, it comes down making kids better, only a few programs can take your player to the next level. Best of luck this week at tryouts.

not sure why you are a bitter person this was put out there for the 91 troll making unsupported claims of the best current 29 team on LI the numbers are the numbers .. Far from an Igloo troll just putting facts out there for the lazy people who aren't willing to look at the facts

Laughable. You do know that these teams post their committed players online. Pretty easy to find high D1 recruits coming from all these teams. A lot more coaching happening at the clubs you despise and more recruiting than coaching happening at your top 2 teams

Express train is rolling! Who did they poach today?!! Here they come… all aboard!

Express train is rolling through LI… Who did they poach today?! Gonna be a big week… All aboard!

Wishing the best to all the sheep…. But we all know what happens to sheep!

Some kids are uncoachable after a certain point.

And if you think the other teams are not making phone calls, sending veiled recruitment messages through players or parents, you’re just in denial. All the clubs do it, some are just more visible about it.

All Aboarddddd ! New King of Long Island !

If kids are moving to Express it is only because they think it will give them a leg up getting into St. Anthony's. Parents still thinking all these kids will go D1. Reality will sink in soon enough.

This is a told you so moment, Express/91 will dominate the 29s moving forward. The other clubs will compete but not remotely close to the same level. NAL in the fall will be the yardstick.

St Anthonys is east to get into. Don’t who makes this stuff up. I do agree, the D1 dream harshly sets in as it is for all the uncommitted 25s right now.

Fall ball is never a yard stick of anything.

Total overhaul of the 29 express roster. Team will be a wagon. Allll abbboard!

Word has it that Chaos right up their with Express picking up 4 top players but 2 from outside LI.

Chaos will be the better team but they will both compete. Rest of the 29 LI teams are second rate now. Cream has risen.

Chaos better?? lol! Even with the 4 new players, Express will steamroll them! They won’t have their 28’s to bail them out anymore. I hope that VA kid smartens up and hooks up with a top local club.

Hard to say whoch will be better, that Express attack is gonna be nasty.

What we can say say is we told you so. This time is not different.
