Deas: En intressant artikel om Islanders nye coach Ted Nolan om bland annat hur det är att leva med rasistiska påhopp med mera i hockeyrinken.
"The taunts and jeers were crashing down over him in a relentless storm of ignorance, hate and bigotry. He heard words he knew could be directed only at him, the lone Ojibwa Indian on a tier II junior hockey team in Kenora, a map-dot town in western Ontario located just above Minnesota and right in the middle of a Ted Nolan nightmare.
It was 1975. He was 17 years old. He had to get out of there."
Sharks har just nu både 2a och 9e val i årets draft. Blir det en sjuk trade dom laddar för eller går dom för valen (Stenberg som 2a och den bästa försvararen dom kan ta som 9e?)
