Censorship is the Sincerest Form of Flattery
Buffalo's 4th-season defender Lisa Chesson, in her first game played in The Bubble, scores a PP goal from close in with less than 4 minutes left in the 3rd to make the socre 2-1.
Im a little bit behind on replying but I think it could be a bit of both. I don’t think the league is in a true bubble like the NHL and others were, so I wouldn’t doubt some Covid cases being in the mix. The Barstool situation is also thought provoking at least, while I don’t want to think it had anything to do with the Riveters leaving, there’s definitely a small rift created between the players in the league rejecting Barstool completely, players who recognize Barstool’s flaws but are willing to accept their support, and likely players who are more engaged with Barstool and want their support.Although I don't think that's really what happened with the Riveters. I think they were wracked by the barstool controversy and internal strife drove some players to quit. Covid just provided an easy cover story. We'll find out if any of the reporters covering the NWHL are any good, or whether they're just PR fangirls pretty quickly.
