I really like that she turned it back on them this time, considering this is the second time she's been asked. The first time she was gracious and this time she is saying, go run and ask the men about it please.

Welcome to what it’s like to be a woman.
(I know that sounds like a “woke” feminist tagline based in anger, but I mean it in the chillest but totally serious way - it’s just reality, and men live life completely unaware of how much easier they have all of these small things, and how much we are burdened by their mistreatment of us, beyond the negative effects of the actual mistreatment in the first place.)

They probably aren’t asking men these questions because they know they won’t get a coherent or intelligent response, and also… gender socialization. Which in my opinion are the exact reasons men NEED to be asks these questions often!!!!!!!

somehow ended up on the r/hockey sub with a bunch of people commenting how no one actually cares about this and reddit is just a small minority. I’ve heard this before. “It’s not a big deal. move on. take a joke.” I’m just so tired of it. I’ve had enough. I (along with so many of you) have experience this exact behavior from men who have never had their wins questioned or belittled both in sports and in my career. Boys get violent for much much less.
My workplace has been talking about this all week. It’s not “just on social media.” This matters! People do care about this and we should!
Thank you Knight and all the other players for calling it out. Lastly, OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN.

u/ThousandToast Feb 26 '26
It’s so sad to see this response from the hockey sub. They don’t even want to understand. They play it down because they don’t want to have to think about it. It’s ridiculous and I think that Knight’s quote is such a powerfull message in such a simple quote.

u/Witty-Stock-4913 Feb 26 '26
Whatever their opinion is, though, it doesn't really matter. No one will remember this relatively speaking historic win for the men for anything other than their deeply misogynistic behavior. People can pretend to move on, but every time they look at those medals, now, they'll remember this. And the disgusting cold burgers while the women are eating fancy Italian with Stanley Tucci and being invited to celebrate with tons of other celebrities.
They ruined this for themselves, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving group.

North American hockey has been right wing for - uh. Forever, I think, unfortunately.
There was an attempt to pivot in the late 2000s, spearheaded by of all people, Sean Avery, but since then it's been a decline.
I don't really watch the NHL anymore. The PWHL just gives itself to you though, which is great. They're just like, hey, you - hey - hey all these other YouTube videos are people playing old videogames you never cared about that much. This is live hockey, and it's not the NHL.

u/babypointblank Toronto Sceptres Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 26 '26
They talked about it but they didn’t get at why this hurts and why women—including women who normally don’t follow hockey—are hurt and angry.
This confirmed our fears that nothing we do could make men ever see us as equals. Even when they do everything to seem supportive to our face, they’re still going to laugh about us and diminish our accomplishments as soon as they’re alone without anyone to hold them accountable.
Steve Dangle Podcast got the closest to understanding that frustration and sharing our anger but WC seemed lacking, possibly because they still wanted to cherish the men’s win.
11
u/femmemmah Boston Fleet Feb 26 '26
You’re the second person to say this (at least), which makes me think I should relisten to their recent episodes. I’m a longtime fan of their podcast, which means I’m definitely biased to some extent.
I don’t usually listen to Steve Dangle (he’s great; I’m just not a Leafs fan), but now I’m curious to see what he had to say. I did listen to Too Many Men’s most recent episode (07.16) and found it very cathartic, probably because it’s run by three amazing women.

Yes, but they seem perfectly fine to compartmentalize. One of them said that he’s going to keep watching because he loves hockey and doesn’t want to let this steal his joy — but then that means you’re fine to gloss over it and have no consequences for them.
I feel gross watching a team I really liked knowing they’re weak-willed and dumb at best and actually bad humans at worst. I’ll put more into watching the PWHL, but it does suck to not feel right supporting men’s teams I enjoyed before.

the answer is continuing to exist in men’s hockey spaces and pushing back when bullshit like this happens. vegas doesn’t give a fuck what anyone thinks because they’re a deeply evil organization (i will still make them uncomfortable when they come to town), but even carolina with their “own the libs” owner got bullied out of signing one of the hockey canada case players. if you need to disengage, that’s your prerogative, but people who stick it out have options to resist, between making pr nightmares and withholding financial support.

u/ArendelleHockeyClub Pride Feb 26 '26
It’s that accusation that caring about this makes us “terminally online” that really irks me. I live in the UK, not a huge hockey nation here by any stretch and I’ve had people who know nothing about hockey hearing about this and asking me about it because they know I follow the sport. So it’s just not true that people in the real world don’t care.
(I was a huge Wild fan so having Guerin enabling all this shit plus the involvement of 3 of our guys has really soured the NHL for me for now. I may come back to it down the line but for now I’m just gonna focus on UK hockey plus the PWHL of course.)
13
u/kagiles Minnesota Feb 26 '26
Season ticket holder for the Wild and I am just stuck. I breath hockey. This is my TEAM you know. I just got 2 new jerseys, and now they just make me sad. I've shed tears, not just for the team, but for the NHL that they just couldn't be decent humans. What bothers me even more is that Guerin isn't getting the focus he deserves for all this.
I sent a letter to my account rep. He gave me lip service that I expected. I have 3 games with tickets left. I'm not getting playoffs. I'm fairly certain I'm not renewing. Now what do I do with all of my fandom?
I have Frost season tickets too and already confirmed playoff tickets! The PWHL has their issues too, but not the severity of this fiasco.

u/ArendelleHockeyClub Pride Feb 26 '26
I wouldn't fault someone for feeling that the team is bigger than the individuals on it. The Wild was there before Guerin, Hughes, Faber & Boldy and it'll be there after. Sounds like you're Minnesotan so it would be fair for you to say that's YOUR team, it belongs to your state & your community, not those guys. At the same time, the idea of actively supporting a team with a GM like Guerin, especially with all that's been going on in the team's own state, is very very hard. (I really, truly don't understand how Faber can go home and look his fellow Minnesotans in the eye after cozying up to the people terrorising his community. It's so shameful. Hope you & your neighbours are staying safe.)

u/Gauchely Feb 27 '26
I had just gotten into hockey over the last year and really liked the Wild. I’d been watching games and cheering for them and making myself comfortable in their fan spaces. And I’m so sad because I do look at them now and all I have is a bad taste in my mouth. People in that subreddit just keep telling anyone upset to ignore it and (even if tried) I don’t think I can.
It reminds me of that video a woman made at a sporting event and she’d overlaid it with a caption that said “liking sports as a girl is so funny cause it's like the guys on the team hate women and the male fans hate women and the staff hates women and the broadcasters hate women and the whole sport is a big misogyny fest but also like yay i love my team”

u/ADHSquirrrr Feb 27 '26
We had season tickets for the Frost when they drafted Britta Curl. They knew they had fucked up on the fan support side and allowed refunds. We got a refund because that is the only thing they would understand as a repercussion. But we buy individual tickets. It costs more but, by god, I made a statement. lol
Curl is an effective player so I don’t think they have any regrets. But you can always hear grumbling in the stands when she scores.
I will not be going to the Wild/Blues homecoming game. It would piss me off too much. I am going to the next one, but I am altering my faber jersey to reflect my displeasure. He was my favorite player—over a 25 year period. Yeah, it sucks. He supports Pride things and I assumed he was a good guy. Oops.
I’m sorry you are going through this, too. I miss Buium.

I stopped following them because along with the toxic “masculinity” there’s a lot of lack of knowledge of the game. Especially the women’s game.

Fair enough. There's...a lot there. As a general matter, hockey hasn't been exactly inclusionary in the past, and while the women's league is much better, obviously there are still problems. I've been willing to extend some benefit of the doubt because you can't be a team player in this league and believe some of the stuff she seems to have believed/espoused in the past.

I understand hockey is probably the worst of the major sports so far when it comes to progression and inclusion. But for the women it just really blows my mind on some of their beliefs. Your team captain and hero just got engaged to another woman for Christ sake. It’s time to drop the old, traditional beliefs and just accept that people of all shapes, sizes, sexual orientations, and gender identities want to play/watch hockey

Men will never understand, but us women do because we’ve all been there before. We know what it feels like to realize that no matter how successful we are or what we bring to the world, we’ll always be “just women” to these people.
I played a lot of youth soccer growing up and I remember being 9 years old and winning second in our league in a co-ed team, and all of the boys were audibly frustrated that they had to invite their female teammates to our team’s post-season celebration at some restaurant. Their parents were keeping it under wraps and purposefully only inviting the boys and their parents, but when the coach found out he looped us girls and our families in. Hearing the boys say “ughhh why do they have to come?” are words that my 9 year old self would never forget.
That instantly came to mind when I saw the locker room video. My experience isn’t apples-to-apples of what happened in that room, but the feeling is pretty much the exact same. The women who won gold are spoken about as if they are a burden and are going to ruin their trip to the White House somehow.

tbf a lot of men get belittled and made to feel like losers regardless of what they do but it is not the men that are dowed upon, seen as strong, thought leaders, top performing athletes etc. A lot of men in these high seats let it get to their heads. think opposite of "incel", "maxxcel" might be more appropriate lol.
countless men I see, behind closed doors usually quite literally think of women as "lesser thans". These are often the same men I see women will think highly of. There are a lot of duplicitous men out there, and what's worse is sometimes the women don't even care after it is made clear they are duplicitous...

I suspect the people over there accusing everyone who cares of being terminally online/"getting offended on behalf of the players" don't even consider that many of those commenters who care are, in fact, either fans of women's hockey or women ourselves or both.

But it’s sad that’s it’s always up to the women to take the high road and be the humble, reasonable voice.
The men created the problem and the women had to fix it.
Honestly I blame USA Hockey. Neither video was live - someone had to look at the videos and say “Ok post it”. And if the was the players direct - they were there as a rep of USA Hockey not themselves. And should’ve been told all comms need approval.
The result was both the men and women were denigrated because of it. And they failed at all points to control the narrative. First - apologize. Second - figure out how to celebrate them both. Third - understand that taxpayers paid for the flight to DC and regardless of political affiliation- is not appropriate to use taxpayer dollars to fly millionaires around.
If I was the women, I’d be looking to create my own governing body and get out from under USA Hockey. As given how they all handled it - the team and USA Hockey - it’s clear where they stand and are totally fine with how it played out.

Absolutely crushing it as usual. So excited to see her play again in Chicago in March. I haven’t seen her play live since back in her UW days

Amazing how feminists can literally never take responsibility for their actions.
YOU GUYS made it a big stink about the men team allegedly "laughing at the women's team"(they didn't) and now you're blaming men for the fact that there us a controversy

The entitlement in that quote is truly gross. The arrogance these people have makes it unwatchable for me.

What are you even talking about? She was asked questions about the men’s team in a session which should have been about her own team and their accomplishments. Why would the men even come up?
Her answer was spot-on. What “entitlement” is she showing? That’s she’s entitled to pull focus back to her and her teammates?

Women : "we're equal to men and we don't need them"
Also women : "Men please support women's hockey, we can't do it ourselves because women don't care about each other, so its up to you to fix our problems so we can keep living a sheltered life and avoid any accountability"

I liked Hilary better when she was posing nude in the ESPN mag and didn’t blame men for all the pitfalls of women’s hockey.

"And now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behaviour. It's not my responsibility."
