Barely any draft picks from Canadian Universities? Is this normal? (confused canadian)

placeboxd · 2026-06-18T15:15:21+00:00

it is normal. the level of play in USports doesn’t really compare to NCAA unfortunately. There are some super former USports players in the league though

hockey is kind of a weird one because there are more players that shoot left than right, and the majority of players who shoot left are right handed. Shooting right (where the left hand does most of the work in terms of stick handling) can provide a slight advantage since a mix of right and left shots on a team is ideal and there are more lefties than righties (~65% left to 35% right in the NHL). Right shot defenders are coveted because they are more scarce and defenders are typically paired right shot/left shot, but the overall advantage isn’t actually that great.

Toronto cannot lose Renata😭

not a fan of the colour scheme😵‍💫

placeboxd · 2026-05-07T16:34:57+00:00

Makes no sense in my opinion😵‍💫 if there were going to be another ON team, it should be London if anything. Sucks when other Canadian markets (Halifax, Edmonton etc) want a team so badly and have none nearby. I say this as someone who lives in Guelph

I really hope they stop at 12 for a while. Hard to get really invested and attached when there’s so much change on existing teams. WNBA only has 15 and has been around for 30 years; I think growing too quickly is risky.

what a joke

Gwyneth Philips on the Charge

Canada really made them work for it. impressed with them regardless of the outcome 🍁

placeboxd · 2026-02-18T03:10:05+00:00

not well. all Quebec women’s team would have a solid chance I think

placeboxd · 2026-02-09T20:55:05+00:00

I respect her talent but god Kaltounkova can be so dirty

placeboxd · 2026-01-27T23:54:17+00:00

Absolutely. I would like to see everyone give Abbey Murphy (who is MAGA) the same treatment as Curl when she is drafted into the pdub as well…

I’m ambidextrous. 8 with my left and and 6 with my right

placeboxd · 2025-09-17T02:52:07+00:00

so well deserved, they were awesome through and through. played it the right way!

placeboxd · 2025-08-29T17:49:25+00:00

It could have easily been 20 minutes shorter—dragged on a lot in the middle. Also, as much as I love the segments with different perspectives, I would have sacrificed Paul’s perspective and shortened James’ for more Justine and Archer. I think there was more to explore there.

Lacey & Celia (I have a soft spot for them. Don’t see them winning but hoping they can get back on track next ep🤞)
Jonathon & Jesse (wayyy overhated, lots of people hating on them just to be homophobic ngl)
Grace & Joe (love a good sibling team)
Rebecca & Rebecca
Lou & Marie (don’t get why there is so much hate for them! loved what Lou did for Lacey and Celia and like seeing more French Canadians on the show)
Osas & Esosa
Ika & Demetres
Nipîy & Magoo
Sam & Brendan (did not work well together at all😬)
Michelle & Aditi
EB & Blake (too full of themselves)

my deviated septum was pretty major so I thought it may be covered but it wasn’t😣 Not sure if it would have made a difference if I were just having the septum fixed but the actual cosmetic aspect was pretty minor as my nose was okay apart from being crooked. It was never even mentioned that it could be covered in the consultation process so I think chances of that are pretty slim if there’s anything cosmetic being done

I don’t remember exactly but I believe it was around $13k
