some of the stuff i heard on sunday nights was just 'wow!!' i've heard a lot of stuff on the ice when i play but some of the most "did you just say that?" moments i've had were score keeping the women's games.
i got to know most of the refs during my score keeping season and we'd talk about stuff like that. there was resounding agreement that the stuff the women say on the ice is usually waaaaaay worse than what you hear when the men play.
i'm pretty confident any woman that gets a coaching position would be just fine, especially since she would be 'well versed' in hockey culture

But this isn't about women using/hearing bad language. It's about whether they are ready to coach NHL players. I'm not against it, but they have a long way to go before they are anywhere NEAR coaching NHL players.
