What were you saying about drivel???...
Exactly, as big as hockey may be in Massachusets it's much bigger in Michigan and Minnesota. Not to mention Canada where most of the Black players in the NHL come from.

The fact that you would choose to ignore my post when it clearly points out Black players in Canada played the sport for well over 100 years is a testement to the fact you'd rather revel in your own bigoted ignorance than be open to learning about other people.

Why? What's wrong with a CIVILIZED discussion on human genetics or physiology. Scientists at major Universities around the world have studied and continue to study the genetics of black male athlete with perplexity.

Even within the animal kingdom, certain animal species have proven to be genetically superior to others. For example, Black Angus cows are genetically superior to other species of cows; Stallion and Arabian horses are genetically superior to other species of horses, etc. I'm not an expert in the field of animal science or genetics, but I think it's safe to say the same holds true for other animal species as well as humans.

The bottom line is that it took the genetic makeup of each respective race of people to make the world what it is today. Human strength, intellect, reasoning. immunity to disease, etc., were all factors which contribute to man's existence today.

Also, Calgary without Iginla = Oilers. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The very same. Like I said: he's a hack

P.K. Subban needs to quit diving: The one thing that irritates me more than anything is watching players take obvious dives. Throughout the series, Subban dove in an attempt to draw penalties.

-Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban drew the ire of the Garden crown late in the first when he took a dive in front of the ref to draw a hooking call on David Krejci. Replay clearly showed that Subban flopped on the play and should have been called for taking a dive.

Or is it more of a cultural thing with hockey having a marginalized role in that part of the world?


The more you post the more clear it gets that you know shat about hockey.
