    2024-25 PWHL season

    When MLB first expanded beyond NL and AL teams meeting in the World Series with no other playoffs, that is what they tried. The problem was that the higher-seeded team could lose those first two games on the road and return home in an 0-2 hole. If it loses that game, then the lower seed had more...

    Even though we've been in the doldrums, we have had players worth watching. In the case of this particular one, I'm not sure I'd have put together her career highlights without including a single assist from a player who ranks fifth in program history. Taylor Heise Career Highlights

    2024-25 PWHL season

    I'm trying to sort out whether or not that would be a good thing. Given seeding has meant nothing thus far, about the only value of the regular season has been to eliminate a couple of teams.

    True. But she was a teammate of Nurse, Desbiens, and Channel, and on the list of Badgers who didn't win NCAAs, going back to Timothy's original point.

    You had Blayre Turnbull on those teams as well. I never thought she was at quite the same level, but Tessa Bonhomme was predicting who gets predicted off each PWHL roster and she named Turnbull.

    In hockey, the scoring plays so often come down to mistakes. Both goalies had a goal that they'd want back, despite playing well overall. Phillips in particular had a strong night, at least when she was in the net. Minnesota will need to do more with the prime chances it does get if it's going...

    I wonder how the new teams, and existing teams for that matter, will balance the short and long term. The player most likely to help a team win next year versus in three years may have different answers. Because the salaries aren't huge, some veterans could opt to retire and move on to life's...

    2024-25 PWHL season

    It will be interesting to see how long home ice continues to fail to be decisive in the PWHL postseason. Lower seeds have triumphed in all five series played to date. Top overall seeds may request relief from the rule that allows them to pick their first-round opponent, giving the chosen...

    The disruptions won't be the same in terms of absences, but if past results are any indication, the Olympics will still have an impact beyond weeks when a player on an Olympic roster is away. The Games are such a physical and emotional focus, that when players return, it can take some time...

    We don't care about the apathy. Up front? I think that they are going to miss Huber a lot. The few times that I watched them live over the last couple of seasons, she was the most noticeable player. Yes, Murphy generates the highlights, but Huber was the one who would get on the puck and get...

    Yes, new sports and leagues always lose money, be they men's or women's. At some point, you need to invest to produce income in the future. The next Caitlin Clark can't come along and boost popularity if there isn't already a sport in place. While gymnastics tends to be a niche sport at the NCAA...

    Much of the problem is the attitude of our society as a whole. We aren't that far removed from a time when a woman's paramount duty was to give her husband sons. Progress is slow and painful, in part because so many are insecure and need to pull others down in a futile attempt to make themselves...

    Don't know what the nature of her injury was. The challenge with goaltenders is that even if a program likes the player, they need to have a goalie slot available. Teams can always find room for a quality forward, but in net, it's more complicated.

    Looking back, college was the best time of my life. Didn't have much money, but more money, more problems.

    It seems like it would be a rather complicated decision. Sure, there are monetary considerations. Depending on what and where somebody is studying, combined with NIL potential, it isn't as simple as with or without a pro salary. PWHL is now the highest level at which they can play, but the...
