Most knowledgeable lacrosse people will agree the men's game has gotten far too slow with basically one one one...next....one on one....next etc.

The speed of the game is gone. If you are new to the game or disagree then go on YouTube and watch past finals from 1984 or 1985. Those games were fast and exciting and drew record crowds.

With that said the women's games are more exciting these days than the men's game if you know the rules. I would guess that those commenting on their dislike of the women's game don't know the rules or are limited in the history and knowledge of the womens game. They also play with no pockets in their sticks making their play all the more impressive.

Either way it seems the 90 second possession shot clock that is new this year for the women is coming soon to the men. It is needed no doubt.
