Interviews with hockey players are fantastic, because it is a complex game that can be spoken about at length, but during the intermission they'll find the Wettest player imaginable on the losing team and for thirty seconds they'll ask them things like "what do you need to do to get more pucks in the net?" And the player (panting, haunted behind the eyes) says something like "well, we've got to get them in there"

PWHL: Okay so thanks to the Olympics the PWHL has never been more popular and even if its a bit financially risky I think we're ready to expand to 12 teams. How should we handle it this year? Also the PWHL: I have a great idea, lets make a completely arcane process where expansion teams gut the other teams with only 3 protected players each and no way to balance what teams are losing how many players. Then, after the original 8 teams have been gutted let the expansion teams draft before 6 existing teams seemingly arbitrarily. All the new fans who joined us this year and already picked a team will hate it! The Professional Women's Hockey League: Holy shit that's an amazing idea, let me tongue kiss you on the mouth repeatedly.

i’ve been in a terrible mood since the draft order announcement but then my friend showed me a video of carter hart crying over being a big loser and i feel a little better

i’ve been informed that he also broke an NHL record for goals let in during the playoff finals which is so satisfying

this is actually the perfect draft order if your goal was to piss off as many people as possible

As a new sports fan I didn’t realize I would end up being this mad about sports damn

learning about soccer has made me realize how much of a blood sport hockey is. watching a match like "when do they start punching and then get benched for two minutes before they get out there and do the exact same thing again"

my nervous system can’t tell the difference between being hunted for sport and the pwhl expansion draft
