Denver walked into the weekend as ESPN's number one team in the league. They walked out 3-3, upset 15-13 by a Boston Cannons team that was under .500 coming in. We get into why this loss still doesn't shake our belief that the Outlaws have the best roster top to bottom in the league, and why a game where Jared Bernhardt, Pat Kavanaugh, and Logan Wisnauskis all had quiet nights at the same time is more concerning than the final score.

The Waterdogs keep rolling. Their 15-13 win over the Redwoods pushed them to 4-2 and first place in the East, and CJ Kirst put together another performance that has us deep into the MVP conversation. We break down his pace toward 50 goals this season, which would shatter Marcus Holman's single-season record, and explain why we're still not ready to crown him the best all-around player in the world.

The Whipsnakes rolled the Chaos 17-10, and Rob Pannell is three points from Paul Rabil's all-time PLL scoring record. We also cover the ESPN+ stream glitch that had the league sweating through that chase. The Archers put a beating on the Atlas, 16-5, and Mike Pressler's postgame comments about players not listening kicked off a rare public airing of grievances from the defending champs.

On the WLL side, the Charm's 16-15 win over the Charging, saved by a last-second stop in net, (currently) knocked the Charging out of championship contention just weeks after they looked like a lock. We also spend real time on the new PLL Indigenous Heritage jerseys, and we do not hold back.

We close out looking ahead to a three-day weekend of lacrosse at Fairfield, including Rob Pannell's continued chase for the record book and a WLL matchup between Boston's Guard and Maryland's Charm with real stakes attached.
