Ottawa Stuns Buffalo

We cover a massive Week 8 in the NLL, from the Georgia Swarm’s dominant "Unboxed" win in Edmonton to the Colorado Mammoth’s statement victory over Halifax. We also dive into the surprising upset of the Buffalo Bandits at the hands of the Ottawa Black Bears and what is currently going wrong with the San Diego Seals.

On the field side, we break down the newly released 2026 PLL schedule, including the move to 12 games and a first-ever stop in Rhode Island, along with the news of Steven Brooks taking the reins for the Carolina Chaos. Finally, we celebrate the legendary career of Eric Law following his retirement announcement.
