It's a ####ty simple thing to say. Let's not pretend anything else when we're trying to justify it.
What's so ####ty about it?

Girls can't play hockey like guys in the NHL can. Are we dashing some unsubstantiated dream here? There's nothing ####ty about it and some people seriously need to learn how to suck it up. Holy ####.

If we were saying something like "you drive like a girl" then okay, I guess you can be offended because you're just assuming all girls are bad drivers even though that's not true. In this situation however, NO GIRL IS ABLE TO PLAY HOCKEY AT AN NHL LEVEL.

If girls played hockey better than men I assure you, no one in a Flames jersey would be calling the Sedins "girls".
