Frantic ending to Wednesday night's game between PWHL New York & PWHL Ottawa, well worth the Ref Cam & hot mic distractions ...

With OTT leading 3-2 in the third period, New York pulled goalie Abigail Levy in the 19th minute and had several 6-on-5 chances in Ottawa's end. In the closing minute, NY defender Ella Shelton had the open net staring at her but OTT d-woman Ashton Bell pulled out her hidden goaltending skills to deny the tie. In the dying seconds with Levy still on the bench, Ottawa forward Lexie Adzija put the New York comeback to rest with a long range rolling puck with eyes. Final score = OTT 4 - NYC 2.

Should St.Louis get a team for JMCx4?

You were late to the Barbie Bash, Lady,

But you didn't post the tweet. I live in PT zone.

Should St. Louis get a team for JMCx4?

IMO there is no "Should" in discussions re. placement of sports franchises. But the PWHL would have a tough go finding ice time, and battling the decades-old "If it ain't the St. Louis Blues, it ain't hockey!" sentiment. The latter resistance has softened some with the recent boom in youth hockey around STL Metro (a marketing segment that seems key to the League's strategy of fanbase growth), so maybe someone with money & significant local influence could pull it off. It just seems to me that Chicago & Nashville & possibly Kansas City would be more fruitful markets around the region, *if* the PWHL Advisory Board become keen on expansion in coming years.

But you didn't post the tweet. I live in PT zone.

I'll leave you to your PT-exclusive X's, then.

So, anybody care to let us poor slobs know who the "We" are in: “We want her to be a face of hockey, period."?

THE PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S HOCKEY LEAGUE (PWHL) THIS WEEK (March 4, 2024)

[JMCx4]

Tuesday night game, PWHL Ottawa @ PWHL Minnesota, puck drops 7 PM CST (or there abouts). Streaming coverage on TSN, Bally Sports North, NESN, and my go-to You Tube. All three previous meetings resulted in MIN victories, and a 4th win tonight would put them back in 1st place.

 

[JMCx4]

PWHL MIN survives a seesaw regulation, then wastes an early partial PP in OT, before IR returnee Taylor Heise clinches the victory in the shootout. Minnesota now tied for 1st place with Montreal.

Weird Ott-Min YT channel. Tuned in early and that feed never started. Had to go back to YT and reselect a feed.

• PWHL Boston (6-5-2-0) @ PWHL Toronto (9-5-0-0)

PWHL ain't Charmin soft

Seems like that brand mark placed just beneath the player's name on the new jerseys would be more appropriate.
