[silverfish]

Buffalo is stacked this season, wow

no word on any more Rivs signings?

No news yet but expectation is that the core will return.

I'm both excited and upset because on one hand, I get to see her play. on the other hand, we're never gonna score ever again.

give her my # thanks

she's the modern day Manon Rheume, only better, imo

just come through to a Rivs game this year and we can make a joint effort to give her your digits

Why Shannon Szabados chose the NWHL Beauts over the CWHL

Athletic article on the signing plus some stuff about the Pegulas buying the Beauts in case you have the subscription

Some girl who just started going to my gym plays for the CT Whale, found that pretty cool.

With Burke, Ryan, and Kessel in the mix, I'm guessing it's only a matter of days before Russo re-signing is official.

 

[silverfish]

I think I'm going to get and set up my 2nd monitor tomorrow. My goal after that is to spend at least a couple of hours a week tracking last season's games that I don't have. Gotta get these metrics.

Twitter thread re: schedule next year...

Decker is one of the best players in the world. Another big loss for the NWHL.

 

[silverfish]

D'Oench is a lowkey superstar. The PBP data I do have from last year, she had a +13.26 relCF

 

[silverfish]

No surprise. Russo is awesome.

 

[silverfish]

Don't even need to have a fastest skater competition at the 2019 all star game now.

 

[silverfish]

Man, love this. If the Rangers are going to act like the Rivs don't exist, would love to see one of the football teams pick 'em up.

 

[silverfish]

It won't be long before Wiseman is coaching in the AHL or NHL. This guy is going places.

Hilary Knight going back to the CWHL next year. Brutal.

I can't even root for the Pride now

Just root for the Rivs, man. Take a step back and realize how cool the affiliation with the Devils is for the team, the players, and the league. Or just be like me. On the record, you're a league fan. Off the record, you're a Rivs fan. It's nice.

Wild to continue support of Whitecaps during inaugural NWHL season

 

[silverfish]

Man, I am not a tracker. Sitting down across three different days and probably two or three total hours to do one period. 58 events. Keeping track of everyone who is on the ice is impossible. Constantly needing to rewind and look for jersey numbers. Shit is brutal, man, brutal. Nothing lets you know how f***ed your eye-test is like tracking a game like this.

Tough start for the Rivs. Wasn't able to watch either game. A lot of talent in the league this year.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

Got to go to my first Riveters game this weekend, had a great time got to talk with Lee Stecklein, Hannah Brandt, and Amanda Kessel (not a detailed conversation she seemed pissed after being destroyed).

Great time, even shared the train back with Kessel and Stecklein... there were other people on the train too but shh lemme live my dream.
