Sticks In

We're wrapping up the 2026 PLL Season! We start with the PLL Awards.  I go through some of the award winners that were different from what was on my ballot, and defend my thinking, particularly when it comes to the Faceoff spot and Coach of the Year. Then, we get into the PLL game itself. Unfortunately the game itself wasn't great. But we break down Denver's struggles in all phases, the Waterdogs shooting the lights out, CJ Kirst's brilliance, and addressing why we don't need to always rush right to historical comparisons for the sake of engagement. Then, we look towards the offseason. We start with what Denver and Philly may have to do to keep their rosters intact, examine why free agency will be hotter than usual this year, call out some names to watch, and talk through some broadcast changes when it comes to the way we watch the PLL.

It's a PLL Semifinal weekend as the last four standing will play on Monday for a spot in the title game. Before we get to that, we cover an interesting lacrosse salary question that was raised by the recent Kawhi Leonard and LA Clippers news. Will pro lacrosse have to close the salary loopholes that have long been accepted as the norm? Then, PLL Award finalists have been announced. We react to a few snubs, some interesting notes about the awards themselves, players making strong campaigns, and more. Finally, we preview the weekend. The defensive keys to the Denver/Utah matchup and individual players to watch including Tom Schreiber. Then the interesting team dynamics and balancing youth with experience for both Philly and Boston. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
