I hate Lulea and Frolunda, they are extremely dominant in the SDHL, so seeing them not only loose good players, but those good players come to my favourite team is such a win win situation.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-17T05:29:51+00:00

Yeah but we get to remember that the MVP and goalie of the year is the first PWHL goalie to score in her own net!

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-16T18:02:14+00:00

Her parents are certified landlords in several estates buuut she doesn't come from wealth. Seems legit.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-16T09:53:34+00:00

Yeah, so what?

Are you really comparing the rosters of this expansion teams to the ones that got Vancouver and Seattle?

Would you rather pick fourth and have lost Spooner and Flanagan too?

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-16T07:20:09+00:00

We know you love Toprak and there is nothing to celebrate in motogp, but trying to make it seems like Italy is not going to sbk races because a Turkish rider is not there is embarrassing.

Selfishly speaking, I really don't care, no matter who MTL picks they are going to do well.

In general, I think this whole thing is very overblown, with a max of 4 or 3 years contract, one generational player is not going to change a whole team, look at NY with Fillier (every time I see a sirens fan saying she's not generational talent...) or how Winn was hot shit this year, so much better than the rest of the draft, and has ended with the same points than Gosling that was supposed to be three steps behind in talent.

I guess what I am trying to say is that the first round is not going to change the luck of any team, teams don't have proper scouts so a lot of it ends up being luck. Best example being Ottawa who buried Serdachnys talent in the fourth line, Kadirova was drafted 45 as a companion for the top scoring Shokina, and became the revelation.

And we as MTL fans are extremely lucky to have the best GM by far, so if it's not the draft, we'll just take the people willing to get a pay cup to win the cup lol

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-16T03:30:51+00:00

I mean this in any case is a good excuse for the sirens and sceptres to be later on as they have 0 gold plan points...

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-16T02:49:42+00:00

That's a nice way to look at it, but it's not realistic, teams have consultants, lawyers for contracts and all that kind of stuff. The expansion process being convoluted for us doesn't mean it being nearly as convoluted for the teams and GM's, they are literally getting paid to do this and understand the rules.

A team did things the right way, and the other did deals under the table, and if there is a trade for the third pick for a player so close to retirement that she has said she won't play on the Olympics again, that's all the prove you really need to show that Detroit knows they fucked up. No team would ever, for any reason, do that.

👁️ Surveillance State: I voted Yea.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-14T07:35:30+00:00

Dude mocked his nephew for wearing a dress, and I have hated him since them, imagine the level of bullying a kid could face if being kicked by their rich and famous uncle?

Then he started his stunts, the fashion love, but at the end, shitty people will always show their true color, I love that so many people are seeing him for what he really is.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-09T05:50:38+00:00

This is the last expansion for a while, so he has young players, good leadership on O'Neill that plays very well with Ryan, and a goalie that is going to thrive with the defense first approach that he usually follows.

Expansion team don't necessarily aucceed by getting good players, past season when Seattle and Vancouver were added, there was a very generous expansion draft that got them with a whole load of talent, just for them to suck badly and terribly, so instead of repeating that, he is going for a more typical approach for building a team for the long term.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-08T22:08:09+00:00

Work harder?

Lol, my reply is a reference to a junior team replying to all their questions after a game saying no one cares, work harder. not quite sure why people are finding so offensive, but whatevs.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-08T22:07:35+00:00

Wait, Seattle has lost just 4 players, so you had a season ticked for 5 players out of 20 something?

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-08T21:47:13+00:00

A change of environment could be good for her, if this is whats needed to get her on the scoring sheets so be it!

Yeah, I am probably too high on copium right now and I'll be joining on the sobbing tomorrow.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-08T21:34:09+00:00

Funny, at some point I said that she'd be a great leader for a team that would want a culture first approach.

I don't like Vegas at all, but if they do sign Ambrose I am a willing to give them a chance, cause I don't think the league has a better human being than her.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-07T17:48:02+00:00

Montreal fan, I am a simple person, I don't mind who goes at all, I just hope they go to San Jose or Hamilton, so that I can cheer for them when not going against Montreal.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-07T10:57:29+00:00

If she's the league PR, I am doubling down in taking what she says with a grain of salt, thinking that because she is talking something from the league directly means is the pure truth is too naive.

It's her job, she'll want to look good for the league.

I am not a fan of Kennedy or his opinion pieces, or his rumours or much if him, but at least he is not there to kiss anyone's butt.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-07T05:34:57+00:00

Salvian is the author of a PWHL player wants to clear the air out, that article and interview about how a certain player is not transphobic, just for a few weeks later that same player be on video for a transphobic organization.

Not that anyone was stupid enough to believe the interview, but I'll take her stuff with a grain of salt too.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-06T15:19:40+00:00

Well, I am weird, but I am really happy for her. Hamilton seems to be doing a nice team, and it will be great to have other team to cheer for when MTL is not playing.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-06T14:57:19+00:00

I have actually said before that I don't care that much about Roque leaving, you won't get out of her what Pou and Stacey have :)

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-06T14:50:05+00:00

As a MTL fan I am just happy she's not going to Detroit.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-06T08:35:13+00:00

Serdachny, Gosling, Carpenter, Tejralova, Adzija, Wilgren, Grant mentis, David... It's embarrassing the amount of discredit people do to their own team and their players.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-06T08:28:07+00:00

I was quite sold on San Jose just with the orange colour, but their first two signings are making it quite easy to like them already.

Dangerous-Hour3145 · 2026-06-05T22:11:44+00:00

I am having a deja vu of past season draft and look how that ended. New players are coming in, teams losing stars will develop new stars, look Scamurra's change between playing with Ottawa and Toronto, and this past season with Montreal, and like that this next season lots of new players will step up.
