You sit there saying 'who the f is this dude?' most the game. It's getting near women's professional tennis. The rookies are 14, the best players are maybe 17. They're old geezers by their 20s. ok i’m sorry but i’m not sure how they’re “old geezers” by 20. there’s plenty of older ones who have plenty of talent. also the fact that theyre young? yeah i get the fact you hardly know who they are but it’s to be expected, why do you think they’re trying to get more people to watch women’s hockey in the first place? i don’t see the problem. im not a hardcore feminist at all by any means, but give the ladies a little credit, especially the ones who’ve played boys varsity and 18AAA and alike, who apparently are on the same skill level as the women’s olympic team... also, personally, i think no body checking is bullshit in women’s hockey. it’s a huge part of hockey that’s been taken out, id like to see what happens if they included it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the women's teams, even if they have mixed results against midget AAA teams, those are kids who have no cares in the world and live and breathe hockey. They're not part-time cops doing this on their days off. If they had a viable pro option, then the overall skill would eventually rise too. They're not gonna be making millions of dollars right away, but none of this is gonna happen overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desbiens made a lot of good saves and there were some great scoring opportunities. I'd love to see women's hockey grow so that the top can be viewed better instead of on par with boys AAA U18 teams. I like all hockey. College/International women's hockey is fun to watch. The All Star weekend is supposed to be for the NHL. Let them have it. By forcing in other non-NHL players and all - it makes the NHL fans resent it. I think that's the wrong way to try to grow the non-NHL hockey game. We need to let these NHL stars have the full attention so they become well known by the fans. I don't know most of the players in the All Star game and events. Sorry, I'm busy and all. But for a few hours in January I can watch these guys do their thing and then know them. Same with my kids. Then they go out front or at practice and say they want to play like Jonathan Huberdeau or these other young guns that I've never seen play before. There are so many great hockey events (world championships, Canada Cup, Olympics). Let those grow for both men and women. Maybe add another 'hockey weekend' thing and have boys vs. girls events, boys games, girls games.. let it be about all hockey. Keep the NHL for the NHL. Not that the NHL wouldn't be part of all hockey events. But the league can do their own thing and let their players have all the attention they deserve. Does the NCAA Basketball Tournament have non NCAA games in the middle? Daytona 500 stop their race so the boyscouts can have their pinewood derby? No. And it's ok.

Bmats30 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Not sure if this was covered before but I thought it was interesting. Thatcher Demko doesn’t use the bottom 3 or so eyelets of his skates. Stumbled on it when watching an old video of him mic’d up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I don't even touch the laces in the same area either, so I get the reasoning why. Keeps extra room in the toe/front foot area. You mostly want to lock in the middle and back of the foot anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1200 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Vinyl wraps the wave of the future for masks? Easy enough to just get it redone quick if it peels or wears off. Seems to be just as durable as paint for a fraction of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
