Following a question about the Vancouver Canucks ability to compete, Mark Spector offered a xenophobic answer that has hockey fans up in arms.

Perfect coach for that team.
Miller excellent leader. Hughes will grow. Good D.
Many skill guys either small or perimeter guys. Got pushed out - EL40 esp.
Depth can't all be Euro skill guys. Some? Sure - not all.
Need more Saskatchewan, less Stockholm.

His jib on X at the Swedes on the Canucks roster had fans quickly turn on him and defend the Scandinavian players.

My buddies from Stockholm have no problems working all day.

I guarantee this doofus would last roughly three minutes trying to do farm work.

What is it with old timers and being straight up racist on main?

This guy works for the NHL rights holders in Canada like so wild

The stupid comment will most likely not end up in a dismissal from SportsNet but fans now have their eyes on his every move. This is a sport where all are equal on the ice and welcome to play, no need to sink that low to express an opinion.
