hey girl, don't cry (too much). we fought 'em to second OT and made 'em pay through the nose for the privilege, and set a new record for goals in a short period of time while doing so
(on a more serious note, I wanted to say I've appreciated your liveblog comments and 'don't cry' wrap summaries since I started following the sport this year. hope you enjoy a consolation beverage of choice, and here's to boston next year <3)
Hey girl donât cry, maybe the real win was the friends we made along the way
some sirens went to the girls aquarium in NY and left disappointed... i can't be the only that thought that the New York Sirens were sirensđ§ââď¸â¨ď¸ and not sirensđ¨đ hahaha
The Owls Club was a black womenâs softball team formed the late 1930s in Seattle. The Owls won the first womenâs Washington State Softball Championship in 1938. The team, renamed the Brown Bombers, won the championship again in 1939.
I kindly ask that all the Will Smith hockey girls posting about the softball game help hunt down content of my two Boston Fleet ladies who were also playing tonight...
The satirical Vesey Awards kind of shoehorned PWHL players into their categories, so I was inspired to create a completely PWHL-focused satire awards. Knock yourselves out and please do not submit more than one survey! Not exclusive to tumblr users, I just happen to be based on tumblr myself. Feel free to share the survey link amongst your PWHL friend groups.

Quote of the Year
"I think I peed a little." - Marie-Philip Poulin
"How can you not be romantic about hockey?" - Eric Gallanty
I was prepared for expansion to be devastating for the Fleet after last year, but this is already worse than I imagined and it has barely even started.
So worried about the players I didn't consider that they could take our coach too
What's next? Is there plans to steal Fleetmin too? At least tell me Kermit and Shipping Up to Boston are protected
