NLL Week 8 Recap | Contenders, Pretenders & Identity Crisis
Week 8 of the NLL gave us separation.
In this episode of the Loose Mesh Podcast, we break down the biggest storylines from around the league—teams finding their identity, teams still searching, and the fine details that continue to decide games.
We dive into:
Saskatchewan’s veteran edge against Oshawa
Toronto’s second-half surge vs Rochester
Vancouver’s late-game breakdown and offensive concerns
Halifax’s structural issues against Colorado
Vegas quietly building a winning identity
League-wide trends, rule questions, and momentum shifts
This is State of Lacrosse, where structure, patience, and long-term planning separate contenders from pretenders.
