Despite its press conference on Sunday and moment of silence, the PWHL denied us permission to speak with someone affiliated with the league who wanted to share with us on the subject of the violence in Minnesota.

how long until we get a @themountaingoats.bsky.social song about the Leviathan waking up off the coast of Virginia
