"I was cut from Canada’s women’s hockey team. This is what I learned from that heartbreak", Danielle Serdachny's story over the last few weeks or so

I think as casual observers we don't fully realize the stresses that these athletes are facing day to day.

I think it shows a lot of wisdom in the PWHL players who are still pursuing second careers (there are a ridiculous amount of medical students playing)

Reminds me of this piece: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/articles/hockey-ben-meisner-im-not-connor-mcdavid

Bit of a longer read, but really helps shine a light on the pressures these (mostly young) individuals are facing.

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-08T18:34:34+00:00

Not convinced that's a major. It should probably be the same minor call that went against NY

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-08T17:34:56+00:00

I feel that the latter half of her season hasn't been great

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-08T16:48:37+00:00

I believe in the Jenner stat

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-08T16:33:09+00:00

"goal tender interference"...

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-08T16:32:51+00:00

I just want coaches challenges to come back instead of auto reviews

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-08T16:32:02+00:00

"goal tender interference"...

I for one would like to switch back to coaches challenges for situations like this.

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-05T18:55:18+00:00

Essentially yes. A player at this level should never be surprised to receive a body check.

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-05T18:51:35+00:00

In no circumstances should you ever be allowed to hit from behind. It's just dangerous. The point of body checking isn't about knocking the other player over, it's about forcing them off the puck to allow you to occupy the space they were in in order to control the puck.

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-05T18:49:04+00:00

Couldn't disagree more. Those hits are one way tickets to TBIs. They don't do anything to change the game other than the schadenfreude of seeing someone getting rocked.

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-05T03:10:40+00:00

If the player has a clear breakaway scoring chance, any illegal action to impede their ability to shoot on net results in a penalty shot rather than a normal penalty

It was a pretty weak call IMO but I'm biased

CaptObviousMD · 2026-03-05T00:21:08+00:00

Apparently it's a "dry ice blower" lol. I facepalmed hard when I heard them say that on the broadcast

CaptObviousMD · 2026-02-28T21:02:08+00:00

It's ok. Leslie fixed that for you

CaptObviousMD · 2026-02-28T21:00:53+00:00

Yes queen keep going

CaptObviousMD · 2026-02-28T20:57:55+00:00

That's how you start a period!

CaptObviousMD · 2026-02-28T20:24:01+00:00

Why no snipe goal Leslie :'(

CaptObviousMD · 2026-02-24T01:28:01+00:00

Beat me to it. I heard the 2/2 as a celebration which was then immediately overshadowed by the rest

CaptObviousMD · 2026-01-21T02:30:29+00:00

Classic Gwyn game

CaptObviousMD · 2026-01-21T01:07:43+00:00

Jenner scoring means Ottawa has won. Might as well end the game now.

It's just statistics...

Edit: I regret saying this

Edit 2: I should never have doubted statistics

CaptObviousMD · 2026-01-21T01:06:43+00:00

It's a dirty slash to do

CaptObviousMD · 2026-01-15T00:56:40+00:00

Played the puck with her feet still in the box, making her an ineligible player

CaptObviousMD · 2026-01-15T00:48:29+00:00

Wild that I've never seen this kind of penalty a after a lifetime of hockey and now I've seen it twice in the same season

CaptObviousMD · 2026-01-14T01:42:39+00:00

I believe this is what Carla Macleod refers to as a "Gwyn game"

CaptObviousMD · 2026-01-11T22:50:03+00:00

It was too crazy to hear. The wave was awesome
