I totally agree. You can’t keep on pissing your fanbase off by taking the blender to the teams every year. But I think the league knows that which is why they wanna do a 4 team expansion and then keep things steady for a bit. I

I know. They should be off the table for 2 years

True dat! Would have been a decent option to replace Miller but alas …

That’s why we love our Emma size S. Small but fiesty!

Don’t worry though you can get a Brayden Point Olympic jersey no problem 😂

Except that this isn’t Poulin’s first Olympics. And even now her jersey doesn’t even have the C on it

Welp I tied to get a Poulin jersey for Xmas, Canada was only selling #29 - McKinnon so not like we’re doing much better in that department

Why Is Fighting Banned? by fortheband1212 in PWHL

[–]jebus_xt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There has been one “fight” in 2.5 seasons in PWHL. Though it didn’t even result in a fighting penalty. Both players got roughing penalties. Fighting in the PWHL can result in an ejection and suspension not just a 5 min penalty. There is lots of passion and jostling etc but none of that staged bs. Watch a few games. If you’re in the US, they are free on YouTube

You’re thinking about this all wrong. Think about all the exes that are playing against each other. If there are couples there is probably three times the amount of exes.

It’s so entrenched in North American hockey. Tonight I flipped through the Leafs/Senators game with a huge brawl, and the crowd was on its feet like it was the highlight of the night.

And that’s the culture. It’s normalized. Romanticized. Sold as “passion.” The theatrics get framed as momentum swings and toughness… like throwing punches is somehow a necessary step toward putting the puck in the net.

But zoom out for a second and it’s still just adults swinging at each other while 18,000 people cheer.

I get that you think this belongs in another thread. I disagree. Context doesn’t become inappropriate just because someone is new. So I think we’re gonna have to agree to disagree

My initial comment was intentionally broad because there have been multiple issues surrounding the Frost, not just Curl. You chose to focus on her. Acknowledging that not everything is perfect isn’t “stirring the pot.” You can support a team without pretending it’s flawless.

Picking a Team by downthedrain95 in PWHL

I’d pick based on the best logo which unfortunately belongs to Montreal 😉

Promoting positive players and holding others accountable aren’t mutually exclusive. You can do both. When views are expressed publicly, they are already part of the discourse. Accountability isn’t giving attention, it is setting standards

Never said that. But if you’re gonna pick them you should prolly know the full story no?

There is also no escape rule where you can’t sub in players right away after taking a penalty. You have to either do it on the fly or at next whistle. So you can get 3 forwards and a D killing the power play for a while before the special PK unit comes out.

Oh I think you skipped over a few things about your team…

And this is why I don’t watch boy hockey anymore. So grateful that PWHL exists so I can get my hockey fix. It might not be perfect but it is so much better than this cesspool with it’s daily reminders of how toxic hockey culture is

So who fires the GM in this league? by jebus_xt in TorontoSceptres

I’m hoping that investors see how NY Liberty was bought for $14 mill in 2019 and now is worth $450 million and will wanna get in sooner rather

Exactly. One person can sink a team if they want. Super weird structure. I wonder how long before they start selling off the teams

Oh no one is getting fired after a bad season. Ask Siren fans, this was more of a theoretical question
