In the first round of the PWHL playoffs we saw one reverse sweep while the other series had every game go to overtime! That and more in today's PWHL hockey video!

Until you said “5:00 eastern start” and I googled it and ran out the door, flew down the highway, and ran down the street into the arena. Got there just in time for Boston’s first goal. Thanks Eck!

The Boston sweep was the much better series. Boston's goalie stood on her head completely shutting down Montreal's offense and setting the PWHL's record for most saves in a game twice in the series. Boston's hitting and conditioning just ground down and exhausted Montreal literally breaking them in overtime. The Toronto and Minnesota series was over the moment Toronto's Spooner got injured. The team was very one dimensional and 90% of Toronto's offense was funneled through her so once she was gone they had no idea how to put the puck in the net. Minnesota was no slouch either. They dominated the league in the first half then made a couple bad trades killing their momentum and went on a bit of a losing streak to end the season after the IIHF world championship hiatus.

it also didn’t help Minnesota that Heise got injured and clearly came back before she was 100%, she definitely wasn’t having the same offensive impact as she was prior to her injury. glad she’s been able to get her groove back

Hey Eck. Maybe you hadn't heard, but THE STARS ARE HEADED TO THE WCF.

@plushie94614 күн бұрын
Losing Spooner absolutely took the wind out of Toronto's sails. The first game without her their offense just evaporated, and I thought their defense was honestly just as good. Shows how dependent they were on her to generate offense, not just scoring but also opening opportunities for other forwards who maybe have less ability to just sink it alone. Definitely can't let Toronto off the hook for this though. Just like the OG NHL, with only 6 teams the league is absolutely stacked with talent. Every team should be able to score without their best player.

Everything aside, these women were fun to watch. I’m glad the league-at the player’s’ behest-played the hockey they wanted to. The problem with women’s hockey is that they’ve been held to traditional rules. These women basically said “screw that, let us play”. Is it as good as men’s professional? No, it can never be. But letting them play to the same set of rules makes it enjoyable. The PW is the best women’s hockey I’ve ever seen, and I want to see more. IIHF women’s is boring, let the women play how they want to play. Stop putting on kid gloves with women that want to compete. The PW was great; this league might actually stand a chance. GO MONTREAL!!(next year 😂) Why do women have to wear a cage? Stop acting like women don’t want to compete. Let them make their own choices. Stop making the game soft for women, let the women make their own choices, and you’ll find a game that people want to watch. These women are professionals, stop treating them like kids.

I have only watched a couple games this post season... and i know this league is young and has a tone of room for growth... but it was some of the worst hockey I've ever seen. Not a shred of offensive push. A triple OT game ends 1-0 with only 1 total scoring chance for either team.... the announcers getting all hot and bothered over a 2 against 3 rush... it was pathetic. Either there is no offensive talent in this league (yet) or the coaching schemes/team defence is so good that the game grinds to a halt. Either way it's bad for business and I hope something changes fast.
