Explain to me why "Pitbull Hockey Mom" is a good thing?
I can see why it migh be valuable to have a Hockey PLAYER that is aggressive as a pitbull.

But why a mom?

The only thing it brings to mind is aggressive interference with the team's coach, back biting between the mothers who are attempting to micromanage their children's lives, and so on.

Sports is supposed to be fun for kids. Sounds like these moms would just suck all the life out of it.

Let your child play. Take out your frustrations and aggressions somewhere else.

10. Brought to mind for me the pitbull cheerleader's mom who tried to
have her daughter's competition murdered, and all the video we'e seen on the news of rabid parents going after children and coaches, sometimes violently, when their kid needs to learn a lesson in life about losing or sportsmanship. Perhaps it is a metaphore for Republican business policy and practices.

11. To be accurate, she didn't try to get her daughter's competition murdered,
she tried to get her daughter's competition's MOTHER murdered, so her competition would be too emotionally devastated to compete well.

12. This new story on Yahoo news from The Nation
paints her a psychochick. I've read it elsewhere earlier.

The Word From Wasilla

Written by someone who knows her. Eye opening!
