It took Daryl Watts a couple of weeks, but with her goal against the Ottawa Charge, Watts becomes the first PWHL player to have at least one goal against each of the six teams in the league. #PWHL @pwhlsceptres.bsky.social
Today could be the day! Daryl Watts has the opportunity to become the first player in the PWHL to have scored a goal against each of the league's six teams @thepwhl.com @pwhlsceptres.bsky.social #PWHL #TorontoSceptres
So which PWHL player will be the first to score at least one goal against each of the league's six teams?
By my reckoning, there are currently five players who have it in their sights, and it's actually possible that THREE of them could all do it in the same game! 🧵

I've posted before about the five players in the race to be the first player in the PWHL to have scored at least one goal against each of the six teams.
That list is composed of players who, while playing for a different team, scored a goal against the team they're on now.

Power rankings with no #2. Brilliant!
Notably, if the Toronto Sceptres win in regulation tonight, and the Boston Fleet win in regulation on Sunday, then five of the six teams in the league will be below 0.500.
(Minnesota would be in 2nd place with 26 points in 18 games for a PCT of 0.481)

Victoria Bach of the has a chance in tonight's Ottawa Charge game against the New York Sirens to score a goal that moves her closer to being the first player to score a goal against each of the six PWHL teams @pwhlcharge.bsky.social @pwhlsirens.bsky.social @thepwhl.com

Something very cool might happen soon and tonight's PWHL game between the Toronto Sceptres and Boston Fleet could have an impact... #PWHL #TorontoSceptres #BostonFleet

I'm pretty picky about hockey PxP and colour commentators, and I've got to say that I'm really enjoying Gigi Marvin's debut in the Sirens vs Fleet game.
Not just "good for a first time" good but a "legitimate good" kind of good.

Bluesky in the past week or so has reminded me of an experience I had many years ago. I had developed an online game called HockeyStocks where people were able to trade stocks based on their favourite hockey teams and it was structured as a contest with prizes to be won, etc. 🧵 (1/5)

A post of mine appeared twice and after I deleted one of them, vanished completely. Here it is again...
Speaking of hockey, I've got to say I'm really looking forward to the upcoming PWHL season. The first one was wonderful, and I'm feeling very optimistic and excited for the second. #PWHL #LPHF

I'm hoping/planning to post some form of analysis or data viz of each of this season's PWHL games, though we'll have to see if the data feed will still be there and if so, what data is included and if it includes any additional information over last year (player shifts would be nice). #PWHL #LPHF

My first post to Bluesky was a little over a year ago, and it wondered if "this puppy can take off". Apparently, it can and it's happening.
In particular, I'm very happy that what feels like a critical mass of hockey people has materialized in the last week or so.

The rule changes made me discover the Champions Hockey League and I must say it is a really enjoyable format and the hockey is very fun to watch. Highly recommended if you haven't already discovered it.

All the news yesterday about women's hockey and today's news about the rules changes in the CHL (www.championshockeyleague.com) brought to mind some work I did last year in using quantifying the value of clearing the puck when on a PK. #woho #PWHL #PHF

Ok. Now I’m here, too. Let’s see if this puppy can take off.
