[edit] Japanese Hockey player?
Why has someone labeled him Japanese? He is Canadian with Scottish/Japanese heritage. Hdw 16:34, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unsourced
Here are some sentences I removed from the article because they are unsourced. Without a source, they appear very POV. Some of this might be true, but I will keep it here until it can be verified. --Muéro(talk/c) 01:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- That was the first time that professional players could compete in the Olympics and many saw Suter's hit as the worst of a series of alleged attempts by US Olympic players to injure their Canadian rivals. Suter's 4-game suspension and being allowed to compete in Nagano outraged many Canadian fans (although Team USA fared poorly in the tournament and became infamous for wrecking their hotel room before leaving). Kariya was widely considered the best player on Team Canada. This greatly disappointed Japanese fans who were hoping for a vicarious thrill and medal chance.
- In a move that sent shock waves through the NHL, Kariya and ex-teammate Teemu Selänne signed with the Colorado Avalanche for much less than their value.
- This pairing was supposed to make Colorado instant contenders for the Stanley Cup after the retirement of Patrick Roy. However, Kariya and Selanne did not live up to expectations, due to Kariya's injury problems and Selänne's underachievement.
- He quickly gained notoriety among Predators fans as a sharpshooter and accurate passer.
- The second and third statements are widely known amongst all hockey fans in North America and don't really need to be sourced. They're common knowledge.
-
- The first three are common knowledge and do not need to be sourced. The fourth one does sound a little bit POV type, as Kariya has always been a great player. Winterlily 20:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
