i am going to put this out there right now

anyone mocking the idea of women making the NHL some day will be banned immediately

i will not have sexism on these boards... get the (frank) over yourselves you chauvinistic douches.

its entirely possible ... who the hell knows what training methods they will come up with in the future.

dippoops.

I'm not mocking it. I'm mocking the people who are suggesting it.

People need to stop.

Look, I love watching women's hockey. I get just as pumped for the women's final as the men's.

I coach girls. I'm not a chauvinistic douche.

But the comparison to the NHL is demeaning. They will never play in the NHL. So quit making that suggestion, because all it does is point out how far below women's hockey is to men's hockey.

It's great hockey to watch. I would suggest to all the coaches out there that they should show today's game to their players (boys and girls) because the Canadian and American women are sooooo technically sound, yet it's at a slower pace so kids can actually see what is going on.

Enjoy the game for what it is. Get your daughters involved.

But quit suggesting women will play in the NHL. It's stupid, and it just encourages chauvinistic douches to spew crap about it.

After posting it, I racked my brains trying to remember if I've ever actually eaten Cheez Whiz. I don't think I ever have.

The other disgusting spread I want to try is Fluff. Apparently a fluffernutter (peanut butter and fluff sandwich) is delicious.

But on a more serious cheese note, I bought some horseradish cheddar to serve at Christmas. My inlaws and I destroyed it in about 10 minutes. Oh my Komarov it was good.

for lunch today I have a roast beef and horseradish cheddar sandwich with mustard and arugala... I want it to be 12 already!!!

wedgie.. you dont know this

look at average sizes around the world.. there are many where the women are as big and strong as the men.. and guess what.. they're gaining in canada.

so saying NEVER does make you chauvinistic.. the problem is.. you dont even know it.

oh dont get me started on that.

we always used to offer older cheese (its cheese, its fine) that didnt sell to the shelters and missions for free.

its cheese again.. did i say that? if its dated you trim the mold off and eat it up.. we do it all the time at home.. its perfectly fine.

anyways, the food bank has told us new legislation had been passed and they cant accept "expired" cheese. i mean we never brought stuff that actually did go bad.. just stuff that was a bit old.. still perfectly fine to eat.

now we still do donate all the time.. but we cant do it in the volume we used to or would like to.

the market also all comes together at christmas time with waldo's bistro and donates tons of food and waldo cooks up free christmas dinners for the needy in london.

- Dozzer


You didn't donate any to me.

there are large women as well burn.

i equate this attitude to people who would say blacks were inferior to whites and they could never play in the same baseball league because yadda yadda yadda.

white morons considered a player like jackie robinson to be inferior

this is no different.

- Dozzer



who said they were inferior? hell i posted a tweet saying they were better technically.


I know there are large women, but are they playing hockey as a goalie at the highest level? All the highest level women goalies right now are all like 5'9".

The only thing I've asked about this was what would be an appropriate response if a female goalie gave a blocker shot to a male forward like when Bernier dummied Brown from Tampa? Imagine the aftermath if the male player turns and glove punches the female goalie. I don't think that's a sexist question, I think it a practical one.

Skill wise I would wager some of these female goalies are already better than some of the current NHL male goalies. Looking your way Dubnyk, Poulin, Ryan Miller.

to say otherwise makes you just look sexist. to actually try to justify it makes you look ignorant

So I'm no different from a racist now?

Blacks were excluded from the major leagues.

No woman has ever been excluded from the NHL. Or AHL. Or IHL.

actually the average female size is gaining on the average male

its called adaptation.. women arent just staying home and birthing children anymore.. so they are adapting to a more work oriented lifestyle

we are animals.. we change.. slowly.. but we do.

its absurdity at its finest to believe things will stay the same as they always have been

- Dozzer

I will concede the size gaining point, but the men will continue to gain in size as well. It won't happen unless an equal amount money and resources are put into the womens programs, which sad to say, is highly unlikely. Thats where sexism starts to become a factor.

I know several girls from town that have played for Canada, they won world under 22's or something, anyway. The girls are very good, but no where near as good as their brothers, that play in the Q, and uncle that plays in the NHL / AHL.

I do not see a women making an NHL team, unless she is an amazing, big tender. Remember, they only look at guys 6 feet and over now.

Size does not equal strength.

To suggest that in the next 100 years women will become the equals of men in strength is simply asinine.

Are any of them strong enough to play in the NHL?

Kinda makes you wonder why there are no women in the NHL or NFL or MLB or NBA or Premier League, doesn't it?


It must be because of racist misogynists like me who are holding them back.
