McCain NO Longer a Maverick

  1. The NHL doesn't have a single black player.? Someday Pabst, you won't just make your ideas up based on facts you've made up, and you'll discover the miracle of Google. And then you'll make more money because you're grounded in facts. Until then...

  2. Ok my bad. Since America doesn't even know hockey existsI couldn't find data and I stupidly relied on what I thought was correct. Wasn't there a player on the Capitals a few years back who was the only black in the NHL?

    Is ten correct now? Jeez, Georges Laraque?Trevor Daley? These are like the singer from Hootie and the Blowfish type black guy's right?

    Btw, Leaf's won a Cup in your lifetime? :p

  3. I'm intrigued that he lives within several miles of 783,795 blacks.

    (783,795 is the population of Canadians who identify themselves as black. Again, Google.)

  4. I'd already found that list but I don't think all those guys are current.

  5. Exactly. But ask yourself "Why did I feel it necessary to do that?"

    And gain insight.

  6. Sure. 1.1 million Blacks just in the city of Chicago. Not even counting the suburbs.....

  7. Dave ironically we're BOTH off by the same hi/lo. I said zero your list has 20 and I'm pretty sure the correct number is 10.

    What's unconscionable is i didn't know Grant Fuhr was black! At least I've heard of him.

  8. And you live within several miles of three quarters of them.

    And Chicago covers 228 square miles, so, not likely.

    Gain the insight I was referring to and it'll help your trading.

    Night!

  9. Once again, incorrect. Every player on that list is current, as in on an active NHL roster.

    You didn't know Grant Fuhr was black? Does he look Japanese?

    You've at least heard of him, that's great. He only backstopped one of the greatest teams in history to 4 championships . A team which included Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier among other hall of famers, have you heard of them? If not, that's fine. Just don't act like an authority on stuff you have little knowledge of.
