My pettiest joy in re: this first PWHL season is seeing Boston languishing near the bottom of the standings after all the various commentators were *so sure* they were gonna dominate the league coming out of the draft.

Screenshot of the current standings in the Professional Women's Hockey League of North America (PWHL): Toronto is in first place with 36 points and 5 games left to play; Minnesota is second with 33 points and 6 games to play; Montréal in third with 30 points and 6 games to play; Ottawa in fourth with 27 points and 5 games to play; Boston in fifth with 22 points and 6 games to play; and New York in last place with 17 points and 6 games to play.

It's funny the commentators were saying this because if you asked the fans, we all thought the draft went horrible. This season has gone pretty much exactly how I expected it to, with the exception of Knight not playing like she's a one-woman hockey team, which is her usual MO.It's funny the commentators were saying this because if you asked the fans, we all thought the draft went horrible.

On the one hand, Boston was one of the most important markets in the leagues that preceded the PWHL, their fans are reportedly fantastic, and they clearly care deeply about the sport and women's hockey in general. OTOH, fuck Boston sports and Boston sports fans now and forever. 🥰

Nice to see Hilary Knight struggle a bit after her “glorified beer league” comments

My worst ex is from Boston, and he was one of those guys, and this whole thing has delighted me.
