My little sister, who plays hockey, had the opportunity to meet her. As you said she livessel in suburbs of detroit. She was there medaling the winners. Pretty cool. Basically not only did she accomplish all the things you mentioned, but is still building women's hockey, through tournaments.

I've also had the pleasure of meeting Manon at a Blues charity event. She was a natural to get involved because of Pascal playing for the Blues. She was great in so many ways. A great ambassador for the game and for the growth of the women's game.

I looked at pictures of Manon and she was definitely do-able. I looked at her stats and clearly she was just a prop for many teams as well looking for some attention. She could goaltend better than other women I guess but ultimately she was like I said, a sideshow. Pretty though...

Some people said she belongs in the HHOF. I thought to myself why?. Good goalie, played in the pre season for Tampa Bay big deal. Won an Olympic Silver medal, lot of woman have won more than her and will never be in the HHOF.

It's the truth that's why, plain and simple. If she looked like a Hanson Brother with a vag, then probably nobody even borhers with her.
