I cannot wait for regular hockey season to this coming Wednesday when Pittsburgh raises it championship banner. Happy Boston won the AL League East Title.

Can't just call it an All American sport, eh? Whatever...

I thought about that - but its a majority Canadian, European and Russian players. sorry, but I couldn't find any other major differences.

Blue died during the Playoffs several years ago. Cherry didn’t announce Blue’s death until after the Playoffs because he didn’t want fans to be distracted.

It does have rap (Canadian rap weird as that is).
It’s not a “white” sport. Don’t we have enough of that racist crap with the NFL?
BTW it’s not just some blacks, it’s also has had a fairly significant Native American aspect to it over the years and some Asians.

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic
Like Sting I'm Tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

I look forward to the Pens visiting the White House. These leftist sports writers have been all over Sidney Crosby since he said it was an honor to be invited. I don’t expect him to back down. He handles distractions with class.

I expect the headline to be, "Trump Meets With Russian Hockey Players."
