No. He doesn't honestly believe it. He's just pushing a silly narrative because it suits his cause.
PWHL - Your level of interest
- Thread starter Canadiens Ghost
- Start date
What they'll make of their product remains to be seen, but the best of women's hockey certainly is capable of. If it's just women instead of men coasting through a 82-game quagmire then certainly also their on-ice product will reflect that.

I think our disagreement here is the difference between what you think is more entertaining versus quality of hockey. The quality of hockey in the NHL is the best in the world.
I’m a big CFL guy, I’m not a big fan of the NFL game. I will never in a million years say that the quality of the CFL is better than the NFL, I just prefer one league to the other. And that’s fine. Same if you prefer the PWHL over the NHL
The NFL really benefits of their short season, most games truly count and the on-field product tends to reflect that. Same if you watch top international hockey like women's USA vs. Canada, frequently some of the very best hockey games you'll see all year. The PWHL starting with 24 games is a good opportunity to do things right.

You’re missing my point.
CFL vs. NFL isn’t even close in terms of players. Same with PWHL vs. NHL.
It has nothing to do with schedule or anything.
Who’s the better hockey player? Taylor Heise or Brock Faber? That’s my point

I don't know why they are making this pro league out to be a revolutionary thing, they had other leagues the last 8 years or so and it wasn't that successful, maybe it is part of the marketing strategy, I have a feeling the team in NY is going to be a dud, UBS is a pain to get to and there won't be enough interest to get good numbers and I can't imagine them getting good attendance in Bridgeport, Minnesota and the Canadian teams will probably remain in demand.
I'd give myself a 2 as far as interest

People need to actually watch the games before commenting, the level of play was surprisingly higher than I expected, the skating, passing and pace of play was similar to European men's hockey, you can't compare this league with the NHL, it's not fair. However the offensive production and star power is lacking in this league, it needs more snipers and a generational talent to draw more fans, someone who can take over a game and dominate, the goalies could be an issue too, since they are smaller they can be easier to score on.
The question is what’s your interest in the PWHL. If anyone came in and says “I’m not interested” or “the quality of play isn’t high enough for me” then so be it. That’s your right and it’s a perfectly fine assessment.
Then you have the losers that come in and compare it to their beer league down the street which first of all is most likely not true(there are some real good leagues out there with a lot of ex pros, though you’ll be watching with no one, no production and not on your tv) and second of all what’s the point of doing that. All it does is damage the view of the league to maybe someone who could’ve potentially watched. The point was to make himself feel like a big man, which is pathetic. I’m sure you can see that.
These are the best women in the world. This will help develop womens hockey and grow the game amongst women. Give young girls like mine more hockey to watch and feel like they can be a part of someday. It’s a good thing to have. No one cares about the quality of it put up against your beer league. Just say your not interested and move on instead of trying to make it look as bad as possible.

Because it’s not illegal. Hitting is allowed. I’d say you haven’t watched then, as you see it every game.
I just don't have much time to watch sports anymore, I have to be selective. I'll probably watch a game for curiosity but I wouldn't tune in over an NHL game tbh.

Very low
I am glad a professional league for women has started however I don't really know how I am supposed to watch it. I also don't live anywhere near the teams.

Some of you big, tough alpha males need to knock off the casual sexism and trolling. NOW.

O if it's on YouTube I could watch it. Never saw an ad or anything about where I can watch.Does the Saskatchewan government jam YouTube channels to block your access?
So it's for free with ads?
Edit: it's seems it's on YouTube for everyone but Canada?
So I have to get tsn+ or sportsnet+ which would be an added subscription to the list of subscription.
I guess I won't be watching.

So you aren't the victim of provincial restrictions, it's your corporate media giants screwing you. Something else our two countries have in common.
The pinnacle of individual ability in hockey is the NHL All-Star Game, but that alone only takes you so far. Oftentimes it's not the names on the back that matter most.

The kind of thing you have in the background on the TV every once in a while but don't really pay attention to. But to be honest, that's my level of interest toward watching other NHL teams than the Canucks. Just don't have the passion for the sport I used to outside of my team.
Attended the opener in St. Paul and 3 players signed autographs afterwards. The line for signatures wrapped around the entire concourse. Merch sold out before puck drop. The atmosphere was electric. I’m definitely a fan
