"Although she was traded to Montréal during her rookie season..."

What? Boreen was not traded to Montreal.

And while Boreen might not have been drafted in 2023, she was definitely drafted (3rd round by Montreal in 2024).

So Hayley Scamurra (Toronto) has the opportunity tonight to fill in one of her missing teams as Boston is one of the two teams she hasn't yet scored a goal against yet. That would leave only Ottawa -- and Toronto plays Ottawa on Sunday!

Scamurra (TOR) is missing goals against OTT and BOS
Bach (OTT) is missing goals against TOR and NYC
Vanisova (OTT) is missing goals against BOS and NYC
Adzija (BOS) is missing goals against MTL and OTT
Watts (TOR) is missing a goal only against OTT.

The five players for whom I believe it's currently possible are Hayley Scamurra (TOR), Victoria Bach (OTT), Tereza Vanisova (OTT), Lexie Adzija (BOS), and Daryl Watts (TOR). @pwhlsceptres.bsky.social @pwhlcharge.bsky.social @pwhlfleet.bsky.social

A little typo in the six paragraph, there, that could stand as-is though probably isn't the word intended... :-)

If Scamurra scores on BOS on the 22nd, she'd only be missing OTT...

and if Bach scores on NYC on the 27th, she'd only be missing TOR...

and Watts is already only missing OTT...

So when Ottawa plays Toronto on Feb 1st at least one and possibly all three could be looking for a VERY special goal!

Add the option of being able to listen to in-arena audio rather than commentary and I'd consider that an incredibly compelling proposal...

I see what you did there... :-)

That long-ago feeling came back to me this week on Bluesky. It's not just volume; it definitely feels like it has crossed some magic threshold where the burst of all kinds of different activity has changed it into something new and wonderful. (5/5) 🦋

There always came a point in time, though, where enough players were playing and some magic boundary was crossed, and all the market activity suddenly gelled and made the game "come alive". The number of bid and asks wasn't the crucial point; it was the number of different players/viewpoints. (4/5)

The game grew (BaseballStocks, FootballStocks, GolfStocks) and at one point it even had a higher trading volume than the TSE. In the early days, however, when a new contest launched, and only a small number of people were playing, trade offers could sit for could feel like a long time. (3/5)

An important note is that the stock trades weren't simulated; if you wanted to sell a stock, you didn't sell it to the "game", but instead you had to list it for sale at a price you chose and another player in the game needed to agree to buy it for that price for the transaction to take place. (2/5)

I was thinking the same thing. Ideally, you'd be able to include a verified domain handle but as an alias to your bsky.social subdomain.
