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."
mattias - 74:3-0 till Minnesota i do or die matchen borta mot Colorado efter första perioden. Får se om talesättet om svårigheten att vinna efter en sådan bra start håller i sig. Bra match och inga mål i PP.
