sabills Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 Individual tickets on sale for 15 bucks. Quote
Brawndo Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 Where was she prior? Playing for Boston in the CWHL, the rival league. Also the Beauts signed Megan Bozek today Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Hilary Knight has switched leagues and signed with the Boston Pride. That's incredible news for the NWHL Good for the league. Bad for the Beauts. Net positive. Also the Beauts signed Megan Bozek today Excellent. A standout at Minnesota as WCHA Defensive POTY, finalist for the Kazmaier, and member of Team USA. I like where this is going. Edited September 25, 2015 by Munchma Quchi Quote
Brawndo Posted September 26, 2015 Report Posted September 26, 2015 Meghan Duggan the Captain of the 2014 U.S. Olympic Team signed with the Beauts today! Quote
Eleven Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Is anyone besides me going to today's game? Quote
darksabre Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Wish we could. These 3:30 starts are just a bad time. Any earlier in the afternoon and we could probably swing it. Quote
Drunkard Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 They seemed to make a big mistake in having games on Sundays, especially when 3 of the 4 teams are in NFL cities. They would have been better off scheduling them for Saturdays. Quote

Our major conflict is that we have to drive an our from Rochester and then probably leave before the game is over to get back to Rochester in time to play our own hockey games. We'll be watching online instead. Maybe we can get out there some weekend when we don't have a conflict. Quote

That may be your conflict but I imagine there are a few thousand other people in the area who would attend the game if it didn't start while the Bills were playing. Quote
darksabre Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 30 minutes until the Buffalo Beauts game. Live stream available here: Pre-Game ceremony featuring Manon Rheaume. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Stream: noice! Outshot 15-4 in the 1st: doh! Quote
darksabre Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Slow start by the Beauts. They picked it up as the period went on. Hillary Knight scored for the Pride. Which is something that will probably happen every game :lol: Quote
darksabre Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Number two for Hillary Knight. She's pretty good. Beauts strategy in this game has not been good. Trying to carry the puck around the Pride players has met plenty of resistance. The Pride check well. Quote
Eleven Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Stream: noice! Outshot 15-4 in the 1st: doh! It read 11-2 on the scoreboard after the first. I don't expect them to get it all right on the first day, though. It was a neat thing to see these young gals skating for new pro teams. There was a great "let's go Beauts" chant in the first. But, ultimately, the FIVE pre-pubescent girls' teams sitting right behind me chased me out. I couldn't deal with the shrieking, the constant snaking in and out of railings, the dripping don't-get-that-near-me ice cream, &c. Also, I was beginning to worry that someone would think I was a pedo. (Kidding.) Luckily, neither d4rk nor inkman were nearby. (Also kidding.) So I did jet after the first. But it was really neat to see, and if that rink holds 1800, I'd say 1300-1400 were there. Quote
Eleven Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 Manon Rheaume ....sigh ... Right? She looked GOOD. Quote

With Josie's ankle injury effectively ending her hockey playing season, maybe we can get to some of this NWHL stuff now. Quote
sabills Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 Interesting. With Josie's ankle injury effectively ending her hockey playing season, maybe we can get to some of this NWHL stuff now. You mean she's not gonna watch the team from the pressbox in a suit? Quote
josie Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) You mean she's not gonna watch the team from the pressbox in a suit? Well, I could... but I'd have to buy a suit. Side note, I wear my NWHL shirt all the time.. it's super comfy and I'm proud to wear it. I had it on in the hospital for some pre surgery screening stuff and all the nurses were super excited about it. A couple of them figured I played (ha!) but mostly they were just excited to see support for women's sports in the wild :) Edited November 20, 2015 by Josie914 Quote

I gotta get some NWHL swag. And, you know, actually get to a game here... Quote
darksabre Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 The Beauts won their first game last night. They struggled early on due to some key players being held off the roster due to passport issues, but maybe they can finish the season strong. Quote
