Is Whitney Houston Joining 'The X Factor'?
Turn A Sweater Into A Sweet Valentine's Day Gift
The ratio of black players to white players in the National Hockey League is still lopsided, but there's no doubt black players are making their presence known. Case in point: Evander Kane. Kane, whose parents named him after boxer Evander Holyfield, was drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers last year and has made a big impression in the league in his rookie year. Despite some injuries throughout the season, he made 14 goals and scored 26 points (includes assists) in 66 games, ranking him 12th among NHL rookies in scoring.
But apparently not too many people are impressed, namely, Matt Cooke of the Pittsburgh Penguins. In the last game of the season this week, 31-year-old Cooke was pestering the 18-year-old Kane during the game until the young rookie had had enough.
The brother threw off his gloves, grabbed Cooke's jersey and clocked him in the jaw, leaving him somewhat unconscious on the ice for several minutes. Yeah, he's living up to his name pretty well. Check out the video for yourself:

He looks more mixed than black to me. Anyway who cares about his color,he was tested and did what he had to do. Bobby Orr made his bones the same way. If he knocks a couple more players out then he will be the one harrassing the great players to get them five for fighting. This is why people come to see hockey,me included. The next guy that trys to mess around with my man better tuck in his jaw!

Hi again.
Have anyone here seen the news about a guy, strangeling his wife, in Westmont Il.?
Very Sad, but you know the Saddest thing is NO ONE spoke about him being Black,Afro,African, and his wife being, White, Anglo,Cracker Etc.
Sounds like a Racial HATE CRIME!!!
He killed his wife (Gotta be Racial) and left his children unskathed.

He got just what he deserved,how dare they treat him like that just because he is black and loves to play hockey. White people sometime need to understand that they do not own the world, that anyone is entitled to play a sport, be they black white or yellow. He will think twice next time he picks a fight. You would have to be strong to play such a dirty game known for fighting as it is. He was provoked and he simply put the other player in his place, as needed.
Touche Kane, I want to see you play, you knocked him out like a true gentleman.

It wasn't because of his color. Matt Cooke is an instigator, and his job is to be a pain in the ass toward the opponent with the shortest fuse.Job done.This is what vets do to rookies, they test them.Just hope Kane can match his output next year,and btw, his totals rank him 12th THIS YEAR, not all time.
