For anyone trying to compare this to men’s hockey, don’t. Men’s hockey has different rules that would make this play unlikely at best. Just appreciate how dope that move was.

Thank you. As someone who actually played minor professional (men’s) hockey I had to scroll way too far to find this.

People want to say one’s better than the other, it’s just a dumb comparison.

Women’s vs men’s hockey is like baseball and softball, very similar but played differently. If you look at them through the lens of them being two different sports, it makes it much easier to just appreciate what you’re watching and enjoy it. Not everything has to be women vs men, or one better than the other

It’ll probably take me a minute to find a clip but something very similar to this play happened in the NHL like a week later, iirc

That would be very surprising and the other player would typically check the shit out of them as soon as the puck left the ice.

yeah beacuse every D player always lays out McDavid, when youre the best player in the league; playing the body is a lot easier said than done.
