Un premier but dans la confusion et étrangement, dans un genre de déjà vu pour la Victoire.

Je me suis entretenu ce matin avec celle qui a marqué son premier but à son premier match, la Québécoise Maya Labad.

Les coïncidences me font peur.

Entering the inaugural PWHL season, Kennedy Marchment a player fans were excited about.

After a wrist injury derailed her year, Marchment didn't play during the second season of her contract, and hasn't played again.

Where is she now?

Olympic Rink Problems Reach PWHL – Will The Arena Be Ready And Is There Really No Plan B?

@patlaprade.bsky.social

The biggest question regarding the Olympics women’s hockey tournament is not about 🇨🇦 or 🇺🇸, but if the rink will be ready on time.

Rumours of outdoor games. PWHL now part of the talks. No news from the PWHLPA.

Here’s what’s going on.

With the rink now scheduled to be completed only three days before the women's tournament opens, is there really no plan B?

The Montreal Victoire have emerged as one of the physically toughest teams in the PWHL this season, with the toughest fan base to play in front of. It's making stops to Montreal more difficult for opponents as @patlaprade.bsky.social writes:

The Montreal Victoire have been more physical this season, and their fans are as ravenous as ever, making a stop at Place Bell more intimidating than ever for opposing teams.

One day, the PWHL will have to create a development league to allow players to progress while focusing on hockey.

In the meantime, players have to be creative and use all the resources available to them. This is the case for Montreal D Kelly-Ann Nadeau.

@patlaprade.bsky.social

Regarding the PWHL expansion timeline, EVP Amy Scheer said that “time is overrated” and that launching teams out 6-7 months ahead of a new season is “plenty of time”.

I strongly disagree. Here’s why.

The PWHL is content to continue their expansion timeline of launching teams only 6-7 months ahead of a new season. It's passable, but it will leave even more fans, staff, and players with a sour taste...

Talentueuse, candide, authentique, rebelle, Abby Roque a tous les éléments pour être une star à Montréal.

Et hier, elle a scoré autant sur la patinoire que dans la salle de presse.

J’ai assez d’expérience pour voir une star quand j’en vois une. Et mardi soir, il fallait être aveugle pour ne pas s’en rendre compte.

Montreal Victoire's Scoring Woes An Ongoing Season-Over-Season Concern

@patlaprade.bsky.social

It is often said that the Montreal Victoire has trouble scoring goals, and the first game of the season reignited the debate.

But is that really the case?

I took the analysis a bit further, and the results are surprising.

The Montreal Victoire can run hot and cold in the scoring department, and often, goal scoring has been their downfall as Pat Laprade writes.
