Game Center and MONTRÉAL AT NEW YORK FEB. 2 PRE-GAME PRIMER

 

[JMCx4]

MTL & NY/NJ ties 0-0 after one period. No further comments, as I was otherwise distracted during most of that 20 minutes.

 

[JMCx4]

End of 2 periods, Victoire lead 2-0. Marie-Philip Poulin scored twice early in that period, and she was assessed a 5-minute charging penalty late. The badder news for the Sirens was that they logged just one SOG during that major penalty, and MTL matched that number shorthanded.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Solid game…

 

[JMCx4]

Game over ... Final Score = Victoire 2-Sirens 1 in regulation. NY's Allyson Simpson brought hope to her team's bench late-ish in the game, but even a PP and an extended extra attacker press couldn't tie the game. Close but no OT.

Side bar to the second P'ause of the 2024-25 Season Second ... The timing & locations of the final two U.S. vs. Canada Rivalry Series exhibitions couldn't be more fortunate or unfortunate (depending on your perspective). Women's hockey fans in Halifax NS & Summerside P.E.I. will no doubt have their voices heard.

From the Shadows to the Spotlight: Sirens’ Corinne Schroeder is putting her name among world’s elite

Tyler Kuehl ... Feb 5, 2025

When you think of the best goaltenders in women’s hockey, you might come up with easy names such as Ann-Renée Desbiens, Aerin Frankel and Emerance Maschmeyer.

However, one netminder is quietly adding her name to the list.

Corinne Schroeder has been one of the main reasons for the New York Sirens’ success this season and is one of the top goaltenders in the PWHL. Yet, it wasn’t long ago that Schroeder wasn’t high on the public’s radar.

When the PWHL first took to the ice last season, many wondered if players from the Premier Hockey Federation could hang with the PWHPA, which featured most of the Canadian and U.S. National Team players. Schroeder was one of those players joining the new league from the PHF, despite having an incredible season with the Boston Pride, where she posted an incredible 15-1-0 record and earned Goaltender and Rookie of the Year honors.

Yet, the whispers of whether Schroeder and other former players from the PHF could stand out in the new league, which she admits gave her a little extra motivation. ...
