How to ignite a cross-border sports culture war

In response to the brawls and bravado on display during Saturday night's NHL game between the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks, legendary baseball writer Peter Gammons took to twitter to say the brouhaha was the reason the NHL is a "minor sport." Cue the fireworks.

@JayOnrait @pgammo seriously though, who is Peter Gammons? He has a puppy and flowers as his avatar.


Jay Onrait @JayOnraitFollow@GrahamDeLaet He is the Bob McKenzie of MLB I suppose. Bob Mac would never be so rude to insult baseball (might think it though)
