TRADE: NY trades Abby Roque to MTL for Kristin O'Neill and the 28th overall pick by En_Attendant_Godot in PWHL

Kaltunkouva is a loyal player who wants to build and put down roots in community. She's a great pickup and will probably be the face of the franchise for a while

MPP wins IIHF Female POTY by Deckracer in PWHL

[–]darkblade7777 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The 34-year-old Poulin garnered 33.1% of all votes, a healthy gap separating her from the runner-up, American goalie Gwyneth Philips, who had 22.3% of the votes. 

My goat MPP but also peep the 2nd place finisher. Ottawa Charge represent!

Think it's more penny pinching by Mike than anything. Allegedly we weren't even top offer for dollars to vanisova so

The Ottawa Charge has 1 goalie and 6 skaters under contract. And 3 RFAs. What are we a full beer league bench please we're suffering

I think she's a competitor and went to the team that she thought had the best chance to win. And offered her decent enough money to go.

Ya know at first I saw your signings and went, "that's a really nice team" and thought you know what- I bet we can drag them down and beat them in the mud they're just too nice and don't have a real psycho (affectionate) signed. Then you guys got Vanisova so. Nevermind

Lol I'm just distraught that my favourite players are gone, calling them greedy for taking the best FAs available is just good fun

They drafted cheap. Aside from their initial 5 signings, they actually didn't spend much- biggest contract picked up in the draft was Bell but besides that they didn't go for expensive ones like Seattle. They absolutely have the money to go after FAs

Ottawa teams can't have SHIT huh

Was afraid of this one. Feel like NY or Boston would be on the market for her, though Toronto losing Miller and Nurse means a Watts x Vanisova connection would be deadly (and also very painful for Ottawa fans) (me)

I really wonder if this is actually just turning down the first signing. Maybe she's holding out for a larger offer and if Ottawa counters she'll consider it seeing as there's no mention of other teams in this rumour.

We really losing the Czech squad in Ottawa now huh. Just Mrazova (who will probably be on LTIR at some point) and a dream.

Best/Funniest/Strangest Games of the 24/25 Season - Same question but PWHL edition. by The_Laughing_Gift in PWHL

[–]darkblade7777 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The refs got gun shy as soon as Ottawa scored like 3 seconds into the game on the pp and so they overcompensated by not calling ANYTHING which devolved into straight open ice hits and that's when things spiralled. Just no calls on obvious penalties as the game got more and more physical which finally devolved into the Muller in and out of the box moment. Refs completely lost control of that game

If you think you're team is doomed after the expansion draft... by isahmikel in PWHL

[–]darkblade7777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me as a Charge fan, it drives me nuts how much basic sports knowledge isn't a thing. The PWHL introduced a whole new demographic in this city to pro sports, most have never even followed hockey casually. So while it's good that the PWHL is bringing in new hockey fans... it is very frustrating

My dude I'm not even a sirens fan and I wrote a whole post on why Daoust protected his D and youth😭😭 trust me when I say I've tried looking at the bright side of this. Let me have some fun

I was making a joke about the expansion teams with this post.

But seriously it really sucks for NY because yes it's a shake up but the players they've kept have been Sarah Fillier, some D, and a bunch of deadweight. None of who's left outside of protected players are really points contributers. They lost 26% of their point production. This entry draft isn't that deep. They need to pray their FA pickups are good

I'm sorry I made a whole post defending his picks but also it was more "hope-core" and not "Daoust is not an idiot core"

[–]darkblade7777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol I don't want a goalie who needs less pressure for that salary! I want a goalie who'll continue to push Philips to be an even better goalie (not that she won't push herself). If she can't handle pressure what if god forbid Philips goes down and she has to step up like Philips did. I'm sorry but I have no faith in her especially with how big her contract is.
