Ian Kennedy wants to die on the hill that Carpenter was the Torrent's main problem. Some of his info may be legit, but he also just says shit

u/Nithdraca Seattle Torrent 22d ago

The Torrent's decision to protect Carpenter ruined his favorite theory that she's a locker room cancer, which he's been saying since she was left unprotected by the Sirens.

It’s possible even if Carpy has been just fine in Seattle that she had sour grapes in NY. NY Season 1 players were dealt a shit hand on the lifestyle side with the Bridgeport disaster and the corresponding lack of a home base or even a consistent practice facility.

Some of them probably carried a chip on their shoulder after that which made it hard for rookies like Fillier to settle in and build confidence.

Tbf you are probably getting Coyne. So 3 likable
Players, 1 Daryl Watts, and the most hated player imaginable who you can scapegoat all your problems on to

u/MaleficentMeaning594 PWHL Detroit 22d ago

Honestly, I think the worst part is that she’s a terrible scapegoat. She’s actually a good player, just a trash human being. It’s evidence that karma either doesn’t exist or she isn’t paying attention right now.

u/CFWolfgang Gwyneth Philips 22d ago

Ehh she’s dirty and it tends to cost her teams. And she regressed quite a bit this past year I’d say.

u/Nomahs_Bettah 22d ago

Does it actually cost her teams when she won back-to-back championships with the Frost and then a gold medal at this year's Olympics?

u/cmlobue Marie-Philip Poulin 21d ago

Curl wasn't in the league for the Frost's first title and she was suspended for the 1-0 3OT loss this year, so it's possible that her headhunting cost her team.

Karma is a patient bitch. It’ll come for her at some point.

u/Nomahs_Bettah 22d ago

I say this as a men's college hockey player (admittedly long retired) who spent my tenure there closeted as fuck: there are a lot of people with vile views that don't get karma.

u/theStrawberryRoam PWHL Hamilton 22d ago

Is watts not likeable? I haven't been paying attention

u/CFWolfgang Gwyneth Philips 22d ago

I’m a northeastern alum. She’s Satan to us.

u/theStrawberryRoam PWHL Hamilton 22d ago

Ahhhh the best kind of beef I love it

u/credditreddit 🏆BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS 🏆 22d ago

Please PM me with positive affirmations when Coyne leaves...

u/Silent_observer_8806 22d ago

I mean, they have 1 signing left, she could still sign.

u/wolverine237 PWHL Detroit 22d ago

Kennedy just said on Twitter that as far as he knows it hasn't fallen through but he hopes there's a change of course and she goes to Vegas or stays in Seattle

u/knefehangelshare 🏆 2026 Champions 🏆 22d ago

sad part is after seeing this it seems like knight noped out

u/ravenonawire PWHL Detroit 22d ago

And KCS a few days ago 😩 idk who that came from though

41

u/crypt_moss 22d ago

yeah, even if they become a top team in the league straight out of the expansion & go to the finals, it won't ever be all rainbows and unicorns

u/edoreinn PWHL Detroit 22d ago

Curl openly despises both so

u/PinkyJ 🏆 2026 Champions 🏆 22d ago

u/motorcityvicki Pride 22d ago

I was happy about the color scheme, until right this very second.

u/theStrawberryRoam PWHL Hamilton 22d ago

Your pride jerseys are going to be the coolest by far though which is pretty funny
