lol so bad.... idonno Hockey isnt really a women's sport anyways I bet US Olympic Women's soccer team would destroy any highschool boys team.

This doesn't shock me at all. Listen, I have a ton of respect for female athletes, they could whoop me at their chosen sport, however, when playing males with skills in those sports they will get beat. If there was checking allowed it would have been a much bigger span than 2-1.

 

I have gotten into major arguments with people about what would happen if the UConn woman's B-Ball team would play a boys high school team with any decent level of talent. The guys would simply wipe the floor with them. As great as female basketball players are, all the men would have to do is turn it into a track meet and be physical on the boards.

 

The Jenny Finch thing with her pitching to MLB players on the weekly show is misleading IMO as well. If the MLB players warmed up for a few minutes they would hit her well. To back this up, when Finch was on Kimmel's show they had her pitch to Jimmy and Cousin Sal, now they obviously struggled, as I would, but the guest that night was Warren Sapp, who, while not a baseball player is a professional athlete. He fouled her off immediately, and not tippers, he was fouling them straight back. He was also doing this in dress shoes. On a side note, this obviously flustered Finch and she attempted to throw him a change-up on about the 6th pitch to fool Sapp, but it didn't work.

Ummm, no. Jenny Finch throws hard. Really hard. Jimmy Kimmels show isnt backing anything up. If Jenny Finch stepped in with all of her game against whoever stepped in the batters box, there is a good chance she would win. She may not throw just as hard as a man, but she throws from closer and you dont have as much time to decide to swing or not then if it had been a mens ball from MLB pitchers mound distance.

 

Besides, what does womens Uconn BBall playing HS mens BB teams and Jenny Finch throwing BP to Jimmy Kimmel, Cousin Sal and Warren Sapp have to do with Womens Hockey or your theory that any mens team(at any level) could beat any Womens team(at any level)? You were doing better with your hockey argument, dont bring in hypotheticals from other sports.

Have a high school kid throw a baseball at the 40 feet distance and they can repeat the amazing Jenny Finch strikeout stats. And 85 mph fastball coming in that distance would look like Bobby Jenks on crack.
