it’s not even a full day after Christmas and I’m sick of the “they couldn’t play with the men” takes. women’s hockey doesn’t need to be the nhl to be good or entertaining lol

“wearing a t-shirt or tape isn’t about saying you endorse certain values. What it is saying is to a community of people is you are welcome here.” she’s right and she should say it. man.

the nwhl is good hockey every week with good fans and talented players who sign autographs after every home game win or lose. tell me again how this is bad for women’s hockey. I dare you.

and then they dropped her on Monday.
Former PHF goalie Mariah Fujimagari, who signed a PTO last month with the Kalamazoo Wings, became the first woman to win an ECHL game Saturday.
She came in the third period, making a total of 14 saves, including five in OT. The reactions are everything. 🤌🏼

here's a groundbreaking idea: people don't have to be wearing pride flags and advocating to be out. if they're not out to you, does that change the fact that they're out in their regular, personal lives? there's probably a reason they're not out to you.

I have never been o the opinion that the only viable women’s professional sports leagues are the ones that feature “the best”. Men’s sports have developmental leagues. women’s can and should too.

men’s hockey doesn’t only cater to little boys. women’s hockey -and women’s sports in general- are more than JUST hope for little girls. it’s important, sure, but there are a lot of adult fans actually paying to see games and for merch. something to think about.

also don't let it escape you that the "big" names only ever show up when things "look bad". they wrote stories when the c folded and they wrote stories when the p showed up that said "the nwhl is dying." the nwhl is NOT dying, it's here, and it's going to stay.

this would be something very cool for the league to start doing. once again, all fans aren’t little kids and we want to learn to play too (or…re-learn, for some of us).

the wnba has been representing the movement their own way since play restarted. it's a different league with different financial backing and structure. they rarely get games on tv. it's not wrong for them to make a statement in a different way.
The WNBA games are still on today. Every 7 minutes, they will stop playing as a sign of protest.

I am notoriously not a boston fan, so I didn't know Dempsey was the ONLY ONE remaining from that 2015 cup team. watching them kind of suck once the national team members bailed, build a solid core, draft well, and become a powerhouse has been actually really cool to watch.

in a way that makes it clear they support what the pwhpa is doing but have to carve their own paths. some of these players only got a shot BECAUSE of the group sitting out the n season, so this is a big deal to them.

I will say this one thing before Logging off: the thing with the pwhl draft isn’t the percentage of players from X league. It’s where certain players went (both location and round wise) and the ones who were left on the table.

everyone: hey at least you scored
geno:
Coach Sullivan on Malkin's status: "No update. We will see how he is tomorrow. Obviously, he got hit with that shot on the power play when he scored. Funny way to score, but a goal is a goal... I think the preliminary prognosis is positive, so that's a positive sign."

one of the saddest things about women's hockey is how few goaltenders get a real shot. there are some REALLY talented net minders out there who have to fall back on coaching or leave the game early bc of the lack of opportunities.

observations from someone who has gone to both a dream gap stop and nwhl game (or two!) this year:
- both provided good quality hockey. however the league is very much suffering from a bit of a parity issue right now, partly due to the mass exodus of fan favorites and familiar
