This week on the Off the CrosseBar Podcast we're joined by friend of the program and the NLL's top netminder, Brett Dobson of the Georgia Swarm.

After an opening night loss, the Swarm have won 5 of their last 7 games largely in part to Dobson's outstanding play between the pipes. One of the game's best goalies in either discipline, Dobson has put the NLL on notice that he means business.

He's also very focused on his chances to play in the 2028 LA Olympics as a member of Team Canada and will do everything he can to be there; hopefully alongside his sister.

The Rylan Hartley hit was all anyone was talking about after week 10, so we'll give out thoughts on the matter as well as some other story lines from last week.

All that and more, coming up on this week's OTCB.

Week 8 in the NLL was a wild but not one without plenty of controversy. Rule 67.16 continues to be a major issue and it's still unclear what is and isn't a penalty. So we'll dive deeper into the situation and answer your questions about the return to Edmonton in this week's MailBag.

This week on the Off the CrosseBar Podcast we welcome the newest member of the Colorado Mammoth - Jack Hannah to the show.

After a short holdout period, Hannah was finally moved from the Desert Dogs to the Mammoth where he could be closer to his business at The Lacrosse Den. This wasn't about money, it wasn't about unhappiness- it was strictly business and there are no hard feelings.

One of the brightest up and coming stars of our game, is doing all he can to ensure the future of lacrosse is just as bright. Not just teaching box, not just teaching field but creating talented hybrid athletes that, like him, will be effective at all disciplines.

This week on the OTCB Podcast we go live on YouTube for another episode of OTCB After Dark.

With the holiday schedule, we come to you a little earlier than normal after a very wild week 4. The Goalie battle between Harley and Damude made headlines across the sports, but what the hell sparked it?

Speaking of goalies, they've been setting an incredible precedent with the amount of shots they're stoping, so should the NLL think about shrinking the pads or is that just an early season drought for the shooters.

We'll answer your questions, set up a tasty week 5 and give you a Goalie Union exclusive parlay with the Polar Bears.

All that and more on this week's OTCB Podcast.

This week on the Off the CrosseBar Podcast, we welcome back friend of the show - the GM and Head Coach of the Ottawa Black Bears, Dan MacRae.

This past Friday night, MacRae made history- or so we believe- become the first person in NLL History to have scored the first game winning-goal as a Captain in franchise history then to go on and win a game a that franchise's Coach and GM. Not something he had on this bingo card.

MacRae's group is still young but he's done an incredible job surrounding not only his super-star Captain, but himself with people that make his job easier.

It was a busy week 3 and the Goalie Union is making an early statement. We'll answer your questions and get your set for an interesting week 4 in the NLL. Plus give you another chance to earn some more Xmas money with the Polar Bears.

All that and more on this week's OTCB.
