Ooooh, and the Olympics.

Do you know much about adductor injuries? Cause I sure do!

"Peaking too early" is about all you've got to work with

Yeeaa...

...aaaawwwww

(probably not, either way this goes)

This is the counter argument to that. I don't think the genie is going back in the bottle without a whole bunch of preventable deaths, but all of this is also true and fixing systematic issues would have a big impact on just how many "a whole bunch" ends up being

I'm not so sure that some of these names are on that list because of left-to-center types

A lot of the reaction to this deal, on both sides, hinges heavily on if the person reacting thinks the pipeline will actually happen or not. I've seen a few rw reactions blasting the deal because they don't think it will.

I don't think the drop off has been that bad. Definitely not as bad as some were expecting. Lots of talent still entering the league.

But yeah, an even bigger round of expansion is going to gut teams even more.

Yep, compared to losing 4 each in the expansion draft last year

I mean, for Vegas that condition was locked in before THEIR expansion draft, and made sense on paper.

It would not make sense for the PWHL at all though.

Could you imagine?

"Okay Vancouver and Seattle, here's how many players you can protect"

"How many are we losing?"

"The rest"

Good for the league I guess, but if they roll out basically the same expansion rules for a second year in a row except teams are losing even more players, that is gonna suck for the existing teams.

IIRC the story, as told by Cyril Leeder, is that there IS hot water at the CTC. Just woefully low capacity and it runs out super fast with a game day crowd

That's actually the one that I spotted first. Finger lengths look off.

Yeah, that's just it. There are tells, but none big enough to spot if you weren't already suspicious

Also I think one of her arms is visibly shorter? But I'm not completely sure on that one.
