btw i am on team "there aren't only ~350 (or fewer) woho players in the entire world who can rise to the challenge of the pwhl and expansion is not even coming close to 'diluting' the talent pool, and implying so is shitty to women as a whole and worldwide woho players specifically"

idk. personally I just think it's wild that a woman most famous for being the first woman to play in an NHL game has chosen to support the career of a proud advocate against trans women in women's sports. like, the whole "biological advantage" nonsense argument is entirely dependent on the idea that cisgender men are inherently better at sports than cisgender women. is that not the very idea you set out to disprove, manon? didn't you successfully disprove it over and over, playing in boys leagues and being just as good, if not better than them? what the fuck are we doing here if not showing that your assigned sex at birth doesn't determine your ability to play hockey? what the fuck ever. this sucks.

happy pride to the nhl player who was preparing to come out and changed his mind. I hope he's happy and loved.

Victoire hockey is so strange because the first thing you learn about the team is that it is absolutely stacked with generational talent. And then you find out that they generally play a nice and slow, if somewhat violent, game of hockey, which is kind of strange given the lineup. And THEN you find out this is only the case if the whole team is alive and well and in the game because the second that one of their starting players is injured the rest of the team proceeds to lock in and do insane hockey at a level no one has ever seen before and it’s all on the PK because Stace and Roque have been fist fighting in a corner when they aren’t actively handling the puck
