New York wins the first ever PWHL game 4-0

I would go to a game. If I lived closer. Plus they kind of cute to look at. Back in day one of my ex's was a hockey nut. She played university.

Would if Quebec City will get a team?

How much were ticket prices though?

Brian Burke being the Executive Director gives him the opportunity to put into effect some rules he probably wanted in the NHL, but not enough votes were for those changes. Of course, he's not alone in making these decisions.

The 3 pts rule is something I've seen talked about a lot since OT were added during regular season.

The shorthanded goal stop the PP is probably something coming over to the NHL. The goal is probably to stop all those passive box PK schema...

yeah 3pt games, 1pt tie + a “consolation” + 1 for 5 mins of 3v3 makes sense. Keep everyone skating in late tie games.

I am unsure about the “scoring ends your pk” rule; exciting but feels unfair. Your player out following some charging call and bad fall, they score in your face and then you’re down a player 5v5 and they kick you while you’re down is a pretty crap scenario.

I don't think changing the rule would makes short handed goals happen more often, since if teams tries to open up more defensively to score a short-handed goal, it also open things for the team on the power play.

Let's go! Can't wait for this match.

Both New York and Toronto are coached by men. Both Montreal and Ottawa are coached by women.

pretty cool it’s prime time. I hope the game thread is active on game days / live because the pwhl section is burried and won’t attract all of us pedestrians here on the hab hf section. Great visibility

The point of the 3 points system is that all games are worth 3 points. With the current system the more you go to OT to more points you can make which doesn't make sense (should be the opposite). A team going to OT 82 times would be greatly advantaged (minimum of 82 points if they lose all 82 games). Technically speaking a team could finish the year losing all 82 games and still finish with 82 points. Yes you'll get only a few RW if you go to OT too much which means you wont have the tie break but still it doesn't make sense at all that some games are worth 3 points and other 2 points.

The ch is currently 31st for RW but is 26th for P%. We have been involved in so many OT that we are in front of Buffalo despite having half the RW (7 for CH and 13 for Buffalo). In a 3 points system we would be 28th for P% (behind Buffalo and Ottawa). It's not a huge difference but it at least mathematically makes sense since all games are worth 3 points. The current system is stupid.

I am unsure about the “scoring ends your pk” rule; exciting but feels unfair. Your player out following some charging call and bad fall, they score in your face and then you’re down a player 5v5 and they kick you while you’re down is a pretty crap scenario.

You could change the rule so it doesn't apply to 5 min penalty and if it's a 4 min double minor then it only nullify one 2 minutes minor.
