It was their choice. On a post game podcast, it was mentioned that the Charge learned that Phillips would be getting the MVP award, so they chose to stay on the ice to support their netminder. Now--the cameras in their faces? That's another story. I hated that.

It's bench management. Ottawa & MN are using all 4 lines. Coach Chevrie is playing her 1st & 2nd lines way more than the 3rd and 4th. The same thing that killed them last year.

Women's hockey has been and will ALWAYS be the best. So proud of those ladies and everyone that helped pave the way for the PWHL & for little girls to have a future in the game.

Hey so I am a woman, who played hockey and now coaches women's hockey so I'm not sure what this hissy fit is all about. I have season tickets to the PWHL...please go back and read my initial reply. I think the issue here is reading comprehension.

Also it's Gretzky** and Messier**.

How are you going to be excited about a women's hockey league and then compare poor playing to women in the same breath? How bout just say the quality of play in the NHL has gone down....

Good job Utah!! Here's Saint Paul MN!

It seems like the bottom 3 lines are struggling to find chemistry and synergy. That top line is SO fluid.

Oh wow. How do you see that working with the new CBA but also rising or stagnant operations costs? Seems like it could make a sore situation for the league, no?

Interesting, why is that? Are they trying to keep it accessible with low ticket prices? (I don't live near an NWSL team so I am not all that familiar with their markets.)

Like yes I do but I'm also curious how egregious the pay discrepancy is between the owners of the club and how much they're giving to the players & staff compared to the men's league. 🧐 (for the record I think it's ridiculous to ask them to lower prices, I just also think the NWSL can do better)
