HF Boards in July just hits different
It's not even about being "better". It's about the ability to hold up to the massively physical rigors of playing against men.Again, my stance is that the circles of the Venn Diagram overlap. They aren't completely separate. My stance is not that they fully overlap and become one circle.
924 men played in the NHL this past season. I'm not convinced that every single one of them is a better hockey player than every single woman that played hockey in the past year. How wholly unreasonable.
Can you jump and climb fast? Because being in a cage you'll corner yourself rather quickly
Me too… now…. and I’m old.
Have you seen some of those UFC women fight? I’d run away…hopingpraying I can out run her.
I am thankful the Oilers went far this year. It really has prolonged the insanity.HF Boards in July just hits different
So your point is that there was a bad player on a NBA roster for 20 games last year? If your point is a women could also do terribly, I think you are missing the point.Ryan Arcidiacono played 20 games in the NBA last season. 45 minutes total for the season. 8 total rebounds. 4 assists. 2 steals. 5 personal fouls. He attempted 6 shots (all 3 point attempts) and missed every single one. Didn't score a point.
It's always funny when people just making a purely factual statement is portayed as bragging. I respect the hell out of women who play hockey. Just not crazy enough to think they could play at the NHL level against the best players on the planet.It's always funny when guys act like men being generally stronger is some sort of achievement on their part versus biology.
In terms of level of competitiveness of mens versus women's game in sports, the size of the talent pool is often overlooked. The number of women playing hockey in a serious competitive sense today is probably still smaller than the number of men in the early original 6 days.
That is completely ridiculous. Put the worlds best female player in an NHL game and you would notice the difference right away. They wouldn't even make a junior A team in Canada let alone the NHL. If you have ever played hockey, which I doubt, skate in a beer league game with a retired AHL'er and you'll see the difference right off the bat.What victim complex? What am I a victim of? There are dozens of NHLers that are just warm bodies. Guys that don't PK, don't run around hitting, aren't doing anything with the puck or without. They are just there and can't keep up with the speed or physicality of the NHL either. Any one of them could have just as easily been a woman and no one would have noticed. But that opinion is outrageous apparently...
