Is the Physicality in the PWHL Too Much?
PWHL Boston Seeks to Become First Finalist with Sweep of Montreal
May 14, 2024 by Karine Hains
After two hard-fought wins, PWHL Boston is back home with a 2-0 lead in its best-of-five series against Montreal. The action has been fast and furious in this series and has included speed, impressive and incredibly physical plays, which must have left both teams with some bumps and bruises to nurse before tonight’s game. Aside from the actual hockey, though, there’s one other matter that has made the headlines after Montreal’s triple overtime loss on Saturday night; Kori Cheverie‘s use of her players and cutting her bench right from the start of the games or almost. Tonight, though, Boston has got Montreal right where they wanted them, on the brink of evaluation and with tired stars.

PWHL Minnesota came into the postseason on a five-game losing streak, but in Game 1, they showed a more competitive side than they had in weeks. They lost 4-0, but the game was much closer than the score. They had the energy and intensity they needed but couldn’t get one past Kristen Campbell.
