Sad story.

Dude always had some issues but was a hell of a goalie. However, the good ol’ boy NHL didn’t want to employ an outspoken, rebellious black man. Low-key, I think the league’s racism exascerbated his off-ice issues. At his peak he struggled to get a job in large part cuz he didn’t want to acquiesce to the racism he faced in the league. Sad.

Dude was a real one. Played a white game but never towed the line like many other black NHL players. He was vilified a lot and probably why he didn't get the chances he deserved. Dude went toe to toe with some of the biggest fighters in the league. Straight swag.

Another young brother lost too early. :francis:
