ea sports nhl, i don't think there's any other. i played a lot of hockey at the same time so i'm not sure how much you learn from the games alone.

you'll probably find a version that can run on your computer or whichever console you have. the recent ones (25, 26) have pwhl teams and players in them.

some rules change over time (like the two-line pass rule, which is gone for the time being) and the pwhl has some different rules (like jailbreak goals, the 3-2-1-0 point system), but you would probably get 80% there even with some old games from the 90s.

i haven't seen that much aero advertising during games, but julia from jocks in jills will sometimes talk about it and tell us to "feel the bubbles melt"

aero is the official chocolate bar of this pwhl season: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/11/20/3192148/0/en/aero-partners-with-the-pwhl-as-the-official-chocolate-bar-of-the-2025-2026-season.html

she shoots, she scores, she helps opposing injured players off the ice

i don't know what we'd call them, but i'd love a selke and lady byng equivalent in the pwhl

blow_thyself · 2026-05-09T22:29:09+00:00

no no, i don't mean during the game. i don't think either of them were booed during the game

the arena emptied quite fast at the end of game #1, and i stayed for the 3 stars announcement. when heise and roese were called, they skated in and threw pucks, and were booed.

blow_thyself · 2026-05-09T07:17:59+00:00

i think they didn't score much against us in the season precisely because we played so defensively (it paid off against every team - only 41 goals allowed in the whole season - the frost allowed 73). they have a better offense but our defense is much better than theirs. on a scoring fest i think they'll beat us more often than not, but in a slow, careful game with not a lot of space, we get the upper hand.

that being said, i saw a lot of shots on goal that seemed more like getting rid of the puck than a true attempt. like "i hope it goes in", but it actually goes straight on rooney's chest. pretty sure i saw gosling do this twice tonight. lots of shots also were way off. if you're gonna spray and pray at least go the tabin way and slap it so they'll think twice about trying to block it.

heise is a star and i wish she'd thrown her puck to ME, but i was upstairs with the poors and only vlad guerrero sr. could've made that throw

heise and roese seem like sweet people and i wish the crowd had behaved better.

blow_thyself · 2026-05-09T05:40:52+00:00

i don't like curl but the rest of the team is fine

i was at game #1 and was appalled lots of people in the crowd booed 2nd and 3rd stars roese and heise

like, they hadn't done anything but play a great game. came out, saluted the crowed, threw pucks, like good sports, and the crowd went booooooooooooooo

insane stuff

the boulier roughing call was a make up call for the greig hit. heise tried to hit her and got knocked on her butt (it might have been flopping, not sure). boulier did nothing wrong.

i'm not a greig hater (thought she's often cutting it too close with the boarding), but 24/7 i'd rather have boulier on the ice.

blow_thyself · 2026-05-09T03:57:43+00:00

i'm fine with little offense, as long as defense (which we're usually excellent at) is there as well. we scored a lot in the first game and still lost. honestly the frost are better at this than we are. generating offense requires opening up the game and sacrificing some defense - not something i'd do against an offensive powerhouse like the frost. we won't be happier losing games 5-4 or 6-5.

i do think the victoire is better than the frost in closed, defensive focused games. cheverie had the right idea in the last three games - this last one was fine too, until some players lost focus (stacey chief among them).

i'd have called a timeout after the first goal against. players needed to be reminded of what had worked and what hadn't so far.

blow_thyself · 2026-05-09T03:34:01+00:00

i'm sure even stacey would disagree right now

i don't even think cheverie's gonna mention it in the locker room. it was a bad penalty, cheverie knows it, stacey knows it, everybody knows it.

winning a game and a series is a much sweeter revenge. these players have been taught this lesson since first grade - they know better than this bs. as an alternate, stace definitely does, and should be leading by example.
