Re: Stanley Caps

I'd say skill wise it was comparable to watching an AHL or ECHL game. I go to a lot of Bears games and the passing is on par. I like hockey. I'd go an watch a pond game or a bunch of 40 year olds play if I happen to be in the area. If it isn't for you it isn't for you.

A AHL team or ECHL team would wipe those ladies up in a heart beat

I just watched some as they progress through the lines you can see a major drop in speed and puck handling

Actually what is interesting is girls tend to play hockey better then boys at a early age because they have more advance gross motor skills (better skaters and stick handling) but usually come Bantam (14u) when full checking comes into to play the girls are gone(USA hockey allows co-ed hockey until Midget {18u}); girls also buy into team play much quicker then boys so all girl teams pre-bantam if skilled generally are pretty darn good

Then this little thing called puberty hits and well....

Re: Stanley Caps

Of course they would wipe them out that is just a silly comment men are bigger, stronger and faster. I was referring to puck handling and passing it looks about the same but their puck speed is slower, skating is slower.

I have to go back and find clips but just watch them try to clear the puck on the boards and get it up to the wings; plus they are not under the pressure of the speed and power of the men's game add those variables and trying to say their stick skills are the same isn't apples to apples


If you want enjoy it in the bubble of what it is, awesome but its not NHL AHL nor ECHL or even JR Hockey/ Collegiate Men's hockey by any stretch.

I am not trying to be sexist, I have a daughter myself and she plays 3 sports and I support her. But if I am using my free time and want to be entertained watching a sporting event it won't be the female version of that sport unless its beach volleyball.

Re: Stanley Caps

I would agree with that in regards if I had my choice I am watching the Caps, Bears or UMD-Duluth first.

Beach volleyball? really? Can't say I have ever watched a game.

Gotta go indoor women's college volleyball. More talent on the court. Nice uniforms.
