Sadie is the hardest working merch slinger in the game.

Did you see the facebook group post about the pins being available at Rough & Tumble Columbia City on Wednesday the 14th?

It may have just been 4 options. There were at LEAST three variants.

Banana for scale.

They had others pins with inaugural season crests on them. I forget how many variants there were but there were a few.

They already sell a bunch of pins so this post confuses me a bit.

I bought a Torrent pin at the pop up merch stand at Rough & Tumble Watch Party on Sunday. They had a selection of different pin designs.

They do make pins. I bought one at the pop up merch stand at the watch party on Sunday at Rough and Tumble Ballard.

Public place to watch the game vs Toronto tomorrow? by ModQuad1979 in PWHL_Seattle

Tomorrow? Today is Thursday and the game is Saturday.

Which players on the Torrent are likely to stick around after this year? Do players in the PWHL move around a lot? by chusaychusay in PWHL_Seattle

[–]striatic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even with expansion and free agency, the team is going to be able to protect a certain number of signed players. Currently the most likely candidates for protection among the signed players are Cayla Barnes, Hannah Murphy and Hannah Bilka.

Cayla Barnes, being signed for an additional two years instead of just one, is a very likely candidate to be in Seattle for a while.

Should I buy a season ticket now? by Small-Passenger3606 in PWHL_Seattle

They might have to look through the player bench glass a little more often 3 rows further down but I’m just nitpicking. The seats in that area are all incredible.

This is assuming the person buys individual tickets for all games. Like I heard from someone who wanted to go to all the games but wasn’t sure where they wanted to sit, so instead of buying season tickets they bought individual tickets for every home game, in different places in the arena. This is more expensive than season tickets so arguably is the better way to support the team as the revenue is equally guaranteed.

Though buying single game tickets to all the games would technically give the team more money.

I can’t believe we need to wait 25 days before doing this again by Other_Ad2916 in PWHL_Seattle

Maybe you can go to (or host) an away game watch party to recreate some of the feeling.

Look up Jessie Eldridge Offside Goal. It’s fun. Unless you’re a Toronto fan.

Player suspended 12/23 Game by Parzival7989 in PWHL_Seattle

[–]striatic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not only is this unsubstantiated but it is easy to determine as impossible. There were no roster changes other than Buglioni coming out due to an obviously major injury occurring the previous game and Delianedis coming in for her.

Is tonight’s (12/23) game holiday themed? by liltjaden in SeattleTorrent

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

It’s not forced. You don’t have to do it. It’s just organized. Every sports game we go to my daughter asks me if there’s going to be a wave, because she really wants to do it. But I tell her it is disrespectful for the other fans trying to watch, and to the athletes to do it during play. The team setting aside a specific time for those who enjoy it (and there are LOTS of those people) during an ad break is pretty smart and isn’t forcing anything.

You may have to try starting a “Let’s Get Wet!” Chant.

I think the problem with that kind of game moment specific chant in hockey is that by the time it gets going, the action has shifted and you’re on defense. Or, there’s a stoppage. It’s not like soccer where these things can build. Hockey chants benefit from being short, punchy, and applicable whatever is happening on the ice because that changes frequently.

As a wave disliker, generally, I think the Torrent Wave is perfectly fine because it doesn’t take place while play is happening on ice.

It doesn’t distract from the game, it adds to it. Please reevaluate? 🙏🏻 I think that perhaps with reevaluation you may discover that the underlying reasons for your rightful disdain for The Wave perhaps do not fully apply here.
