Welcome back to Crease Monsters! I’m Parker Bottcher, and this is the podcast where we talk all things lacrosse — the biggest plays, the coolest gear, and all the action everyone’s buzzing about.
In this episode, we’re breaking down:
- Why the Buffalo Bandits open the year as the team to beat — the culture, the core, and the clutch-time patterns that make it scary to play them in big moments.
- Early must-watch matchups and what each side needs to do to land an opening-week statement.
- Schedule watch: where a contender can wobble (travel, back-to-backs, and trap spots).
- Roster radar: a quick look at tweaks that could flip fourth-quarter possession and momentum.
- Gear spotlight: my current setup—what I’m running and why it helps me control passes, protect the rock, and shoot with confidence.
