Listen, I'm not saying women are equal to men when it comes to athletics.

My argument is it's asinine to say there will NEVER be a female goalie in the NHL.

It's the one position where a man's physical advantage isn't that big of an advantage.

Look at Ryan Miller(no, this isn't a shot at him)... he's 6'2, 168lbs. That's on the low end of what you'd expect a healthy woman of that height to be. That's an Adam French-type physique(yes, that is a shot at him).

Put him in a d-man or forward spot and he'd get obliterated... but he's one of the best in the net.

That's about as meaningful as saying "Well it is asinine to say there will NEVER be a time when the sun explodes and destroys our galaxy." And I already said that there is a chance that evolutionary forces help (if not with a little help from us) bridge the gap and that it could happen, though if you think it will happen in our lifetime (we both being in our twenties and hopefully lasting to 70+) you're drinking more koolaid than a creationist.

And that's where my argument comes into play- they don't have the opportunity to be good enough.

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility in our lifetime.

we're talking 50 (frank)ing years

A LOT can happen in 50 years.

Could you imagine Lucic laying a massive open ice hit on some woman?

I mean, he already did with Miller, but I mean a player, not a goalie.

It's comforting to know that there is a chance that my car may one day release foam to save my life.

(Yes I know that's from demolition man. I'm just excited that everything is possible)

that was 1998... when she was barely ranked in the top 100 and was 17 yrs old .

rematch in 2002-3 would have been a different story... though his point about quality of competition is certainly valid.

If they started playing on the mens tour, would only have been a matter of time before they started to be decent I think.

Gauthier is still quite young. He never flashed high offensive abilities. If he pans out to be close version of Patrice Bergeron with more size, i'll be more than happy. As long as his overall game continues to progress and he fills out his strength with his 6'5 frame.
- ash146


His skating is nowhere near the ability of Bergeron. Not even close. He currently does not skate well enough to play in the NHL and has a ton of work to do to get there.

oh I'm not saying she could be top 10... but she could likely have competed in the top 100 for a while

You're a misogynist bigot if you think women will never play in professional men's sports, but if you think a man who doesn't treat his woman like a subservient puppy dog has lost his balls, you're cool.
- 1979AD


Lol people twist words on here like crazy. I think a woman may make, itd be rare though if it happened.

Being a man isnt the same as treating your woman like a female dog. I never once stated id ever treat a woman like that. I just said she's gone all googly eye'd ever since I started acting like a man and not like a female dog 95% of married men become.

Thinking being a man is the same as treating a woman like a sunservant dog is sickening.
