"Luckily it went off my face and in" what a great quote from Abby Roque on the game one winner #PWHL #WALTERCUP

Publicly, the Montreal Victoire always said that the previous playoff failures were in the past and that they were focusing on the present. Their reactions after Game 5 showed a distinct sense of relief, though. They enter Game 1 of the Walter Cup Final unburdened by that past.

the semifinals were electric, but now we're focusing on the next. walter cup finals, game 1. tomorrow, 7pm. 🔋

Wow. What an end to the first PWHL finals game. Overtime and the winning goal was tipped off of a stick to another stick to her /facemask/ and in.

On my kid’s third day of life they watched (I mean can’t see/comprehend much yet so ‘watched’) the first game of the first all Canadian Walter Cup Final. Where someone got injured and her wife was the player to help her off.

If you enjoyed my EXTREMELY inexpert reactions to this Walter Cup playoff game, let me know 😁 I do this for my own amusement but I hope that other hockey newbies (or experts!) can have a laugh at how excited I get. PWHL games are great fun! 🏒❤️🏒 #pwhl #victoire #charge
