Stuffed animals are the steak knives of women’s hockey.

They should have each been given a Trump bobble-head. That would have been awesome.

Everyone got one of those Milano mascots who won medals at the Olympics. The US got them too in any sport they won a medal in.

I’m sorry but handing me a stuffed toy after losing to my arch rival, might get someone’s jaw jacked. The ladies hockey players aren’t docile. In fact, they can be downright bad asses when they get going. Just saying.

I saw the one on the left in a documentary not too long ago. I think it was titled “Stop Making Sense”. Man, he’s changed!

I think I would be tempted to one-time the stuffed animal into the nearest net.

Do the gyrl hockey players drop the gloves and engage in fisticuffs and jersey jacking and normal hockey stuff like that?

In another time and sport, Joanie Weston would probably have decked the idiot who gave her such a consolation prize.

The continued infantilization of women.

And to think it's celebrated.

She can keep it with her. Next time take a hard look and think. They’ll play again. Any spark is good.
