this took me a while yesterday and i only did it because i was home from work sick. the dates for zodiac seasons were from a usa today article and all rosters were pulled from nhl.com and were from feb 5, 2024 (these rosters included injured/out players). all the math was done by google sheets after i inputted all the data.

Seriously?! Dude (because it was a dude who asked). The players helped because they're good guys. Because they know *team* isn't just about the guys on the ice, that the entire Pens organization is on their team and they're all working toward the same goal. (It's the same reason players aren't the only ones who get Cup rings when they win a Cup.)
But, also? In this case, the team didn't fly in the night before and give the equipment crew 24 hours or more to do its job. They flew in just hours before puck drop. Which is not unusual for a preseason game. But the equipment crew still has to set up the same stuff ahead of the game, whether given 24 hours or two. And if the players want their stalls set up in time for them to be ready at puck drop, they kind of *need* to lend a hand.
And when you consider that these are all incredibly fit men who probably could lift one of those wheeled boxes and carry it if the wheels weren't there, them having the common decency to *help* their equipment-based teammates isn't asking too much of them.
Instead of knocking the entire organization for asking a grown man to spend 5 minutes helping with someone else's work, try appreciating the players who don't *have* to help but do so *willingly*.
sometimes i hate being a woman because i just realized i’ve been living vicariously through so many nhl players this entire time because i will literally never make it to that level of professional hockey even though it’s always been my dream. like no matter how hard i work at it or how bad i want it, i will never be good enough because of my gender. it hurts so much to think about the fact that even 100 years from now there will probably still not be room for women in the nhl. little girls will continue to grow up with unachievable dreams because there is nothing in place for them to achieve them. the PWHL only had their inaugural draft this past season. we are over 100 years behind. currently the most you will probably make in the PWHL is $80,000 a year and the average nhl player gets paid $3.5 million per year. that means the HIGHEST PAID women in the PWHL will be paid 43.75 times less than the AVERAGE nhl player. currently, the highest paid nhl player receives $12.6 million per year. 157.5 times less. i’m not even angry about this. it’s just heartbreaking to sit down and think about it sometimes.
