@brian_gettler@mas.toRegardless of what you think of today's results, I think we can all thank the #hockey gods that neither of the close games ended in penalties. Just about any other way of deciding a winner - number of total letters in the names of everyone on the squad, a debate on Heidegger's hermeneutics, a figure-skate-off, whatever - would be better.

@nemorosa@mastodon.nuI can't run out in the kitchen and have a hobnob every time they do something dramatic on TV. It's hockey. It's 60 minutes of dramatic. Figures I discover that in overtime. #hockey

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caSome USA Olympic Hockey players playing for Canadian teams are in for a rough ride... and if you know enough about hockey and US players, you'll be able to guess who's on top of the shit list.
But this is the part that is actually important:
“We know how this story ends,” said the writer Jennifer Weiner. “The male athletes are flying private, back to their seven-figure NHL paycheques and a White House rolling out the red carpet. The women are flying coach, back to the grind, to a league that barely pays them to play. The men, celebrated. The women, mocked.”
I'm glad the #Canucks traded Hughes, if only because it would have been extremely awkward, and possibly downright hostile.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
I'm in Toronto staying at my daughter's apartment and just on our way out for breakfast. This afternoon we're off to see the Toronto Sceptres take on the Seattle Torrent. First time for me at a #PWHL game and I'll update you later on my impressions.
Women's hockey in Canada has a long history dating back to the 1890s with teams supported by colleges and universities. They played in hoop skirts because hockey pants would have been scandalous, but originally hitting was allowed.
The attached article reports on a golden era during #WWI when Women's Hockey had some commercial success. Actually it was about exploitation and the commercial success only benefited the male organizers.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
On this day in 1955, the passion of French Canadian #Hockey fans spilled over into the streets outside of the Montreal Forum. The Richard Riot was named after the Canadiens star player Maurice (Rocket) Richard. Following a violent altercation on March 13th, in which Richard hit a linesman, #NHL president Clarence Campbell suspended him for the remainder of the 1954–55 NHL season (3 games) and the entire playoffs. Montreal fans protested that the suspension was too severe and the Francophone fan base claimed the length of the suspension was motivated by Richard's French Canadian ethnicity. On March 17th the Canadiens played Boston, with the Rocket watching from the players bench in street clothes. The Forum was surrounded by chanting fans and when Clarence Campbell took his usual seat at the Forum the anger ignited. The resulting riot damaged neighbourhood stores and buildings, and led to dozens of arrests.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caI wonder how many teenage lives could be saved (along with hundreds if not thousands of dollars in travel costs) if Alberta and Canada had a functioning bus/rail intercity public transport system.
But let's not do that... it might upset some car company lobbyist. Best to put 17 year-olds on icy Alberta highways at night after hockey practice.

@smurthys@hachyderm.io @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caIt was good, last year, when we booed the heck out of the US National Anthem. I think everyone understood what exactly people were booing. It wasn't the citizens or our many friends and family in the USA, it was the person driving us apart.
So this beautiful singing of the Canadian anthem by Buffalo fans this week before a game that didn't even feature a Canadian team is special, because it's Americans saying they still love and respect us, their friends.
The feeling is mutual.
Miss you, Americans.
