every time a man says the sport can’t be played without targeting people’s heads i wonder what sport i have watched women play hundreds of times without ever seeing a hit like that

even back in the days where women’s teams had something closer to goons you never, ever saw a hit like that. it doesn’t matter how big you are. gillian apps is 6 feet tall and this was never an issue. and she did hit people! and still a managed not to hit people like THAT!

“there’s no hitting in women’s hockey though,” cool but please go back and watch her play in 2010 and tell her that. women absolutely do hit each other it just doesn’t look like they’re trying to brain anyone and that’s why you “don’t see it.”
