Reminder that "gender ideology" is not an actual thing. It's a vague bogeyman created by the religious right to oppose women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights:

Just doing my part to peek through a quickly-closing window of hope for the Frost. [7/7]

Boston just snapped a three-game losing streak with a big 3-0 shutout win against Toronto, and my gut tells me they want to get back to the Walter Cup final and win it this time. [6/7]

None of this sounds likely, and I'm not about to wish bad luck on Ottawa or Boston. Ottawa's won four out of their five last games and their fan base would love to see them make their PWHL playoff debut after missing out last year. [5/7]

• If Minnesota beats Ottawa in regulation and Boston in overtime, then Toronto also has to beat Ottawa in regulation.

• If Minnesota beats Ottawa in overtime and Boston in regulation, then Montreal also has to beat Boston in regulation. [4/7]

• If Minnesota beats both the Ottawa Charge and the Boston Fleet in regulation, then either Montreal has to beat Boston (in regulation or in overtime), or Toronto has to beat Ottawa (in regulation or in overtime). [3/7]

and they'll need some help from the league-leading Montréal Victoire or second-ranked Toronto Sceptres as well. For starters, they'll need to win their last two games, at least one of them in regulation. On top of that: [2/7]
