The world isn’t interested in reality. The goal now is to make everyone feel good. Truth be damned.So many people on this thread think people like me are rooting against her but we are not. We are just being realistic about her chances.

Do you feel good?The world isn’t interested in reality. The goal now is to make everyone feel good. Truth be damned.
Negative, that was not me. And I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.werent you the guy ranting that matt brassard was awful, only a draft pick because of favoritism and would never play in the ohl?
two years later he was a draft pick of the canucks and got a pro contact out of it.
I feel fine, thank you for asking. Yourself?Do you feel good?
Wow, I had no idea there was so much angst over this pick on HFBoards LMAO
Why is everyone so mad? I can't even tell what the main source of agitation here is. That Sarnia 'threw away a pick'? The fourteenth round of the OHL draft is where goalies at Currie's level get drafted. What happens next is up to her and Sarnia. That the OHL draft is too long? That's for the OHL to decide. That if she attends training camp it's going to be a 'distraction'? So you don't like good publicity for the league? Would you rather the OHL was in the news because two players were arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, which is where the QMJHL's relationship with women is currently at?
As women's hockey grows, the level of competition will rise. As the level of competition continues to rise, some of the top talent in net will catch the interest of boys' and men's teams. Currie may not be the sort of curve-breaking prodigy who would be recruited without hesitation, but she's shown good enough results against good enough competition to be drafted in the late rounds, just like a male prospect would be. This isn't even the first time something like this has happened, and it won't be the last. One day, there may be a female goaltender in the NHL. What's so bad about that? You guys afraid female goalies will give you cooties or what?
Just an astounding amount of cope here.
Breaking:You've completely missed the net on this.
Yes, a couple of people may be "eye rolling" but that is NOT the vast majority.
We can leave the "females in the NHL one day" for another discussion. There's enough static in this thread already.
She's the first female drafted by an OHL team and as such it is a pretty big deal. With it, there will be opinions. Hell, even the OHL Draft Page has her sillhouette beside the first overall pick! So, clearly this is a pretty big deal.
No one is afraid of a female playing hockey at any level. As if anyone is scared, I mean, really? That's just preposterous.
The questions mostly surround a female's ability to "physically" keep up with the boys after the age of 15 when girls physically stop developing and boys are at the beginning stages of physically developing. THAT would be the only reason to question the pick because it brings into account whether a female can be a prospect at this level.
In addition, we've seen countless situations where social justice has taken over situations and made it impossible for certain individuals to pursue their own personal interests because of the immense pressure put on these individuals to "represent" that social justice cause. I'm not saying this will happen. It is at a level a little too low in my mind for outside interference to truly come into effect BUT with so many businesses and organizations reaching further into the abyss for some sort of exploited advantage, I wouldn't put it past a major company signing her to some sort of endorsement deal and then pressure gets put on Taya to push back against the boys instead of going the more traditional route.
Again, I am not saying this WILL happen but with the social climate the way it is now, it is possible. I don't think anyone wants to see that. Everyone wants the player (whatever age, colour, religious denomination or gender) to earn their spot based on their talent/skill and heart. That is what Sport is about.
I feel fine, thank you for asking.
I’m not worried about anyone’s feelings. If people want to live in the clouds who amThen be happy, don't worry about everyone else's feelings
