And the football card is published purely for entertainment purposes,
also.
 
My knowledge of Mr. Wong's writings has been gleaned exclusively through
your posts, and  I am thankful for having the opportunity to read them.
He holds himself out to be an expert on our little game, and I have no
reason to dispute his background.  But the western-centricity in his poll
draws attention to himself.  As far as his poll having no factual or
statistical data, that is pure nonsense.  Just read the comments he
includes in his poll.  Polls are based in part on factual or statistical
data.  How else does one reach an opinion?  If Mr. Wong wants to continue
to be known as an expert of college hockey as a whole, he should learn to
see the big picture.
 
To everyone at Hockey-L, happy holidays!
