Another Monday Blog:
Given this is the first weekend of Women’s Worlds, I thought I should talk about women’s hockey. I considering discussing my views on bodychecking rules, which are non-standard, but I’ve enjoyed the games so far, and I think the new IIHF rules and much improved officiating is helping the game find a place closer to my idea of perfect balance of skill and physicality.
I could talk about money, but it inevitably leads to the same old tiresome conversations. Just to put the money question to bed, the NHL has exercised an option to have Disney buy them out of their share of the company that produces the NHL’s streaming service for $350 million.
