pitch me on women's hockey as if i watch no sports and a lot of actual play shows
Towards the end of the season, the Seattle Torrent traded Jessie Eldridge to the Boston Fleet in exchange for Teresa Scahzal. In 12 games, Eldridge got 5 assists (helped someone else score) and 7 goals. Within the unofficial PWHLcord, we started calling her goals "Eldridge Blasts" and ppl even made signs and took them to games. I am homebrewing a pact of the hockey stick subclass
The Murph and Emily of women's hockey are Marie Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey, two brilliant hockey players who are married and play on the same line we call the "wife line"
Like with the Unsleeping City, the PWHL recently sold out MSG. Amazing atmosphere and such amazing community vibes that I only every feel at actual play liveshows and events otherwise. A week after the MSG game, I went to NADDPOD live and wore a PWHL shirt. So many people recognized my shirt and asked if I went to the game.
Murph is also currently learning how to play hockey. They joked abt him becoming a coach in a NADDPOD patreon aftershow.
