Lol. For those that don't get the reference it's from the 1979 classic The Warriors.

I remember seeing this game on TSN - the incident at 0:45 was classic:

Those that don't get it don't deserve an explanation.

That was my thought as well. Presumably they have it within safe limits.

White jerseys need to be primary for home games in the NHL again, love seeing the color contrast

As long as they contrast, I still say colours vs. colours should be perfectly acceptable. No reason why (e.g.) the Maple Leafs should have to wear white when in Calgary playing the Flames in red.

They did it for the Red Wings vs Leafs in the outdoor game at Lambo. I didn't like it at all. I mean you could tell very easily which was which as it was red and blue, and yet it was still irritating to the eyes as there was no dark to light contrast between them.

Maybe it's better for slower moving sports? For hockey, the action is just so fast that players whipping in and out of frame and constant quick puck carrier changes makes the dark on dark annoying as hell.

I really love watching this guy. He knows a bunch of a languages and surprises people by speaking their language suddenly. It's really neat seeing the looks of initial bewilderment and then the excited conversations they have with a white American. Not surprised he has 5 million followers, it's a really neat idea and the results are fascinating and beautiful.

I love how quick people are to give free drinks because of the language connection, especially the Pakistanis and Ethiopians. So cool to watch. "You speak 'language x'? Where you from?!" "I'm American, born and raised". "Then you're a friend of a mine, that's free".

Shows the power of language and how disconnected many feel from white people in English speaking countries.

I like channels like those. There was another guy I used to watch videos from all the time but he passed away a year ago or so but his videos are worth binging on https://www.youtube.com/c/laoshu505000/videos

I like this guys channel. He is pretty well known on Youtube, so likely you have seen it. The reactions of the Chinese guys are great:

I used to watch his videos. It’s so sad that he’s gone.
