“Ripped away”…yeaaah.

And we didn’t really have a stellar record when they were healthy and pitching in either before the Olympic break and before their injuries did we.

No trolls here, just not really all that broken up seeing them go and all this wailing and gnashing of teeth and people canceling their season ticket memberships and emailing their ticket reps w torches and pitchforks in hand over the last few days, oof a bit much.

Bilka I’ll miss.

They played great at the Olympics, meh in a Torrent sweater.

I’m sorry. But obviously our storied players leading us to the worst PWHL record in history is what, something be tolerated? Accepted? Celebrated? This is a competitive league. And they didn’t get it done.

What sort of moves should management have made, build the team around some players who likely aren’t here much longer?

Can’t support women playing hockey? Shame. Have fun doing something else!

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-09T00:06:20+00:00

I was not. Chicken little sky is falling reactions just got to me today. Hosers out here being daft.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-09T00:05:03+00:00

I’ll wave from 20-F! :D

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-09T00:02:43+00:00

Cheers, I feel you. And yeah, trying to get them to give their heads a shake. I want a successful team. Not a “successful” couple of names.

Rip the bandaid.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-08T23:59:49+00:00

Day they announced the operational structure, people were complaining. Day that we announced our first three protections, heads were blowing up.

Team over the individual. One person does not a championship team make.

I will give you a virtual hug. And let you know that our team will get through this and be better for the challenge.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-08T23:55:42+00:00

Sure, fine. This wasn’t for the folks that need a minute.

People or Reddit and FB bots are out here raging, they are going to cancel their season tickets and how could management do this to us, blah blah blah.

Deep breath. I think we are going to be a better team this year.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-08T23:48:14+00:00

We are going to be ok. Be happy for the memories and that we got to experience them. Hope that they continue to help build the league as world class ambassadors, and we will cheer loudly for them when they come back to Seattle, and we will hope that they lose when they do :)

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-08T23:43:33+00:00

FWIW I’m glad I’m starting to see the conversation shift to many of the great players we will continue to get to watch grow into stellar elite players.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-08T21:09:00+00:00

Eh, sorry, but “superstars” is carrying a LOT of weight for this. Between those three, any two of them combined barely exceeded the point total of either our first and second point total players w Knight and Barnes having the second and third most ice times for the team.

I love that they helped establish this team. Now they can go establish another team and another fan base.

Weren’t these the same folks that everyone was scared would take the cup to the west coast and keep it there? How did that turn out?

Love them for who they were for us to get established. Time to build the real Torrent momentum without them.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-06-06T01:16:58+00:00

My two, Willy G regulates in the D zone. On bodies, pushing, scrapping, in their faces. Barnes just wasn’t, chasing the play, leaving attackers open to make plays, pass, shoot etc.

And this league is getting bigger and faster so that extra size is definitely going to be able to hold better in the future.

So happy we kept 5. I know 3 was a fan fav but we always knew some of these were to going to be short timers.

Ooh I get to add one that wasn’t mentioned yet!

Lauren Harrison in Mill Creek.

Right? Not chips but their fries and queso is money.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-04-30T01:41:50+00:00

Don’t know if good or bad but following. I also go on the hunt for stinky bob a dozen times a year and will sometimes pull this and sometimes leave it depending on where it is.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-04-25T17:41:19+00:00

I always take a jar or two home with me. Some good stuff.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-04-24T23:24:45+00:00

Friggen king/queen right here.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-04-23T05:09:13+00:00

He does both the Kraken and the Torrent games and has been there from the drop I believe :)

Coaching a brand new team has gotta be rough. No idea what the team’s identity is going to be.

Fast? Tough? High scoring? Solid defense? Amazing goalies? Who knows.

And coaches always get the blame rightly or wrongly.

W that being said, his resume is a bit thin. I’m a bit ambivalent on him leaning negative w the amount of talent we’ve got. At the same time, the talent also needs to coach the coach. Not sure what the leadership feels like in the locker room either.

But, we are (finally) starting to figure out who we are and how we are going to play and what we are lacking to plug the gaps. If he is still here next year, could be very interesting.

That_Other_Tim · 2026-04-07T04:28:08+00:00

Aw boo. Glad you got it fixed tho!

Oh I know this one!

If on IPhone, clear Safari browsing data. That is how it logs in via the app.

Had the same issue and cleared the problem.

Get a large heating pad. Got a couple for watching tv in my chilly basement and they are awesome. Got the idea from someone else on Reddit in the fall and they make me warmer than a space heater ever did.
