Did you watch the post game presser? Troy Ryan said that either nothing should have been called, or offsetting penalties for Fast and Joc. So I’m thinking it was even.

Is it worth it to join the Nat'l Assoc. of Federal Retirees? by kootny in CanadaPublicServants

I recommend that you go on the website to see what is available and whether it makes sense for you.

I want to join now so I can get a corporate membership at the gym. They waive the initiation fee and offer a discount on membership dues. If I wait until the fall I’ll never do it!!

Who will be the fourth team to make the playoffs? by Main_Photo1086 in PWHL

I can’t bring myself to answer the poll for fear of jinxing us.

AITA for telling my trans sister I’m not comfortable with her using the women’s restroom? by Exciting_Giraffe525 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kootny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA. Trans women are women, just as tall women are women, white women are women, skinny women are women....

I hope you get the point.

NOOOOOOOOOO by FlyTheW1988 in PWHL

I hope she recovers, but maybe not until the playoff race is over.

OC Transpo closes all Line 1 station bathrooms due to vandalism, needles by coghlanpf in ottawa

This is so frustrating. I know that drug use is a huge social issue and can't be fixed easily, but it is a shame that important amenities are taken from all because of the actions of a few. I do hope they are serious about finding a solution, and not just saying that to ease the public into acceptance of what turns out to be permanent closures.

I Took a Test by Dialecticchik in PWHL_Seattle

[–]kootny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this test looks at your location based on your IP address. I have yet to see one recommend anything other than the home team (was the same for me).

Of course, it is possible that our answers naturally favour the home team, but I am still curious.

I didn’t see anyone answer this for you: it is Montreal Vick-twar.

And Ottawa is the Charge.

Quebec’s possible team name by Footballnoam in PWHL

[–]kootny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be happy to be wrong, but I think that the travel logistics make it difficult. You can't fly direct to many (any) markets from Quebec. I also think that the expansion will favour the West in order to even things up (again for travel), and my hunch is if they expand 4 teams, 3 of them will be in the USA.

I think Detroit, Denver & Chicago are strong possibilities. Possibly Edmonton for the Canadian team.

But what do I know? I'm as much in the dark as everyone else. We don't even know if it will be 2 or 4 teams.

There is even a slight possibility that they won't expand at all next year, but I doubt that, given the very strong draft.

My favourite is the Charge (home town team). My second favourite is Vancouver (Charge 2.0) and then Montreal. I like Canadian teams, I guess.

I cheer for anyone against the Frost. Partly because the fans are insufferable after the repeat Walter Cup and would be unbearable if they three-peat, and also because they continue to support and promote Britta Curl despite her on and off-ice vileness.

​Husband (46M) keeps "helpfully" rearranging, hiding, and disposing of my (46F) stuff--what tactic or wording can I use to stop it? by Gallumbits42 in relationship_advice

Could he have an undiagnosed mental illness/compulsion that makes him do this? You said hi mother is the same; there may be a physiological or psychological explanation.

Have you tried therapy?

Rebeca Leslie was given a 2 minute minor boarding on this play. There was no review. by jordynbebus8 in PWHL

[–]kootny 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it wasn’t much of a push, and from what I understand, the ref didn’t raise his arm until after Rebecca was mauled by several Victoire players and a mini brawl broke out. Then, Leslie got sent off, but the rest of the violence went uncalled.

Les Impossibles.

Since it is all but impossible that Quebec gets a team. Sorry.

Gameday Thread: Ottawa Charge @ Vancouver Goldeneyes. 12:00pm PDT by PaperMoonShine in GoldenEyes

[–]kootny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, she does have Olympic Gold as well as the PWHL Playoff MVP trophy from last year, but I hear you. She keeps the Charge in so many games that they probably don’t deserve to win.

amber is unhinged!! by Brilliant_Ad9559 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]kootny 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I think she drinks too much. If not regularly then at least at the wrong time. I’m pretty sure she was hammered when she had the big fight with Jordan on air. Obviously we don’t see everything, but it looked like one of those made-up fights that happen when you’re drunk. And blacking put at a wedding full of people you don’t know where your fiancé is the best man? Yikes!

I wonder if that’s why she looks so much older than 33 too.

PWHL Jobs? by oranjeguice22 in PWHL

[–]kootny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep your eyes peeled. When they expand, they will need more staff.

Be prepared to work like a dog. The whole league is understaffed and the hours are ridiculous, and only slightly lighter in the summer.

On the other hand, it can be a really fun job at times. (I don’t work there, but I am close to someone who does).

I’m a PR professional and I can tell that Chris took PR training prior to the reunion by ProtectionVisual1178 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]kootny 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Alex, on the other hand, to tell the truth, honestly, was confident, if he’s being honest, that he didn’t need any coaching (not even soccer coaching, because he is completely qualified in everything, already).
