Just my opinion, but I’d say he is good, nowhere near the best. And like all PC Correct Sports now, he will be pushed as great because the color of his skin.

I was watching young PK play when I first started getting into hockey, right after the 2010 Winter Olympics and Montreal made the playoffs and had a few exciting 7 game series.

I became a Winnipeg Jets fan for the simple fact I loved the story of hockey coming back to a hungry Canada town. They have 2 black guys, Dustin Byfuglien who is a good player, and a guy I don’t like much, Evander Kane. Lots of talent but doesn’t produce. And in typical PC journalism today, yes even in hockey, the press accuses those that get on Kane for his lack of scoring is.....or course RACISM!

Since my knowledge of hockey is minimal, I'll bow to your superior expertise on the matter. I know the basic rules, and I like to watch the Cup. But evaluating the merits of individual players is beyond me never having played the sport.

But I'm wondering how many sports fans think there's no black players in the game? And if there were more black players, would more black Americans watch?
