“...instead, enjoy the most exciting breathtaking sport: hockey. It’s the only sport that is expanding.”

Agreed! I go to hockeyfights.com all the time!

Lol! The NHL is like all sports rolled into one: the full-body hits make it like the nfl; the swinging sticks and 100+ mph flying pucks make it like the mlb; the breakaways towards the net make it like the nba and soccer; the breathtaking speed make it like NASCAR; and the fights make it like the MMA!

But fighting and the goon/enforcer role is dying in the NHL. One of the greatest enforcers still playing is Ryan Reaves, currently with the Vegas Golden Knights. Earlier in his career, he trained to be a brawler. But he was smart enough to see the NHL is moving towards speed over brawn.

So Reaves adjusted: he began working on his scoring skills, in particular, the tip in. All that practice paid off when he tipped in the puck to win the Western Conference for Vegas last Sunday.

That little anecdote serves the bigger picture that the NHL is changing for the better, and at the expense of all the Barack Ghettobama leagues such as the nfl and nba.

Oh, I forgot to mention this: Ryan Reaves is black.
