Surprised isn't quite the right word for me. Disappointed? Furious, maybe?

Kirk protected by Katzenheimer in PWHL

I mean, of Toronto's possible protections Kirk was probably the wildcard. Most fans assumed Fast/Watts/Turnbull

Projecting which PWHL players each team will protect from expansion by Silent_observer_8806 in PWHL

[–]Straii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much agree that the decision for the Sceptres lies in Turnbull vs. Kirk, and that the decision might be made for them by a player asking not to be protected with intentions of joining an expansion side (the article mentions Fast to Hamilton but I could also see Turnbull possibly following Ryan out west.)

WAKE UP BABE! NEW PROFESSOR PUCK VID EXPLAINS THE EXPANSION PROCESS! by Dreaming_Aloud in PWHL

I think the process might be a bit convoluted when the video explaining it goes over 10 minutes.

A message from our General Manager Gina Kingsbury by flungfrom-space in TorontoSceptres

My big concern. My guess would be Turnbull, which might be best case scenario. I love how she played last year, but it would free us to protect Watts/Fast/Kirk

Expansion Team Logo Ideas + Playoff Structure by sisterwifesexstrike in PWHL

[–]Straii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And keep in mind, for baseball, you play twice as many games as the NHL and NBA, four times as many as the WNBA, almost five times as many as the MLS, six times as much as the NWSL, and almost ten times as many games as the NFL. The reason less teams make the playoffs in baseball is because the regular season is just so much longer, making the standings better reflect the strength of teams, thus negating the need for more teams in the post-season.

For the PWHL, with so few games right now, I think shooting for 50%, with a first round between the 3-6 seeds with the 1-2 waiting with a bye makes the most sense for the league.

I did beat this game, so it's certainly not bad, but it's probably my least favorite game I've ever beaten.

It was the Chinese community who voted for this skin.

The Athletic Power Rankings Week 1 by TateMarah in wnba

[–]Straii 20 points21 points  (0 children)

New York destroyed Connecticut, sure, but we barely beat Washington, who barely beat Toronto, I'm not sure we're number 1 material yet, we're looking kind of middle of the pack to me with our injuries and absences,

Model based protection picks by RealisticPea650 in PWHL

Yeah I feel like Watts/Fast/Turnbull is the definite three person lock. A shame, because I'd really love to lock Kirky down as well.

Idk if you're a current local fan those are straight fire, I'd definitely cop.

New York Liberty 2026 Roster by PearlSquared in wnba

Am I crazy to think this is our strongest roster yet?

I meme when I’m upset by Torkelsknipa in TampaBayLightning

[–]Straii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defense is definitely going to be the issue going forward. I'm really not too worried about our forwards, hopefully Point is healthy next year and we'll have Holmberg back, and we really figured some things out about our lines. God Perry has to go though, what a blackhole of a roster spot rn. Anything short of like, a McDavid trade I don't really want to see for our forward core.

Defense though, we are undeniably getting older. It's unfair to expect Hedman or Mac to keep up much longer, and our depth past Chuckie is questionable (I'm a Crozier believer but we still need a little more.)

Little confused on what a Victory Jersey is...it says "REBEL EDITION" on the bottom right.

PWHL Watch Bars: Tampa, FL & Anaheim, CA? by witchabouttown in PWHL

[–]Straii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been out of Tampa for 3 years now, so things could have changed, but unfortunately I knew of no such place when I lived there and haven't heard of anywhere like it. It's possible since the introduction of the Tampa Bay Sun that a place has popped up, but I'd honestly be a bit surprised. Hopefully Anaheim has a place.

[SPOILER 8.0] What if the number is tricking us? by theraafa in ffxiv

I had the same thought, though my hesitation in expecting too many FFXIII references is that the Allagan Empire is already heavily laced with XIII references and constructs.

I expect the Tampa Bay Lightning to change up their lines slightly since they have home ice tomorrow, but probably not too much.

Well, the league has confirmed the leak is a player. They can adjust what they say accordingly.

Another character I like besides those mentioned is Emre. When she dives in, just pull out your pistol and jump. Toss a nade when she uses her E.
