@sillyfleury Why do you block people for questioning why you still support Fleury despite saying you believe victims and would never support a potential rapist or rape enabler? The details of this case are horrific, and Fleury refused to comment when asked about it.

@rwesthead Hart mentioned two players who received a 2 year hockey canada suspension for bringing a girl to their hotel room. Do you know what players / incident he's referring to and if it was publicized at the time?

@MtlfanSakic @CapFriendly Ok that's what I thought, thanks for confirming!

[Bar Downski @bar_downski]

@ChatterCharts Oh I love this graphic!! Really cool visual representation of the game.

[Bar Downski @bar_downski]

@cleanandgritty @JeffVeillette Do you mean skill-wise what would it take or rules-wise would it be allowed? Most men's leagues don't actually have specific rules about gender (Ève Gascon was drafted into the Q last year).

@ItsNotGivingX Hey, I DM'ed her offering support. I also want to leave the number to a crisis text line here in case you or anyone seeing this feels the need to talk to anyone anonymously, you can text "HOME" to 741741 (in the US). Or you can DM me if you want to talk, hope you're doing ok too!

[Bar Downski @bar_downski]

@AHobsonMedia He said the lineup changes are mostly motivated by a lack of scoring and puck possession from the bottom six. It's not because he's worried about the top line.

@lucaspiersanti @JeffVeillette Review all games, and note any missed calls or incorrect calls. Refs are humans and make mistakes, but there should be a standard and if a ref is making enough mistakes that's a problem. Also note if specific players have calls go for or against them at a disproportionate rate.

@NC2715 @domluszczyszyn @DJNYCNY @SammmyStern If those things have an effect on the game, they'll show up in the analytics (for example, maybe someone with "grit" is better and boxing out in front of the net, maybe someone with "heart" wins more puck battles). And if they're not affecting the game, they don't really matter.

@nickbarden Take care of yourself! We'll support you with whatever you decide to do. 💙💙

@SaraCivian Do you still stand by your defense of Paul Bissonnette on the basis that he's only ever been kind and supportive to you?

[Bar Downski @bar_downski]

@AshonIce He has been actively tweeting about players' rights to autonomy over their own bodies with respect to the Eichel situation and a player's ability to chose to get the surgery they believe is best for their long-term health, which is he absolutely 100% correct about.

[Harrison Browne (he/him) @Hbrowne24]

I was extremely proud to play in the NWHL but when I was asked where I played hockey by strangers it would give me anxiety to state the full league name and essentially out myself.

This is a very important move for non-binary or trans hockey players. Love the new digs PHF!

[Bar Downski @bar_downski]

"If leagues truly do want to make themselves places that allow athletes to be fully themselves, they need to create the space for them to do so."

Amazing article by @britnidlc about the place of nonbinary athletes in today's sports world.
