He is someone who's been an active participant in the hockey threads for years and who obviously has more than a passing knowledge of the sport. Yet you intended to discredit his views by pointing out that from was from Hong Kong. You then went on to describe people from Hong Kong in an insulting way. Which country he was actually born in is not relevant to your attack.

Also, he clearly doesn't have more than a passing knowledge of the sport with gems such as "Kiprusoff is a flash in the pan!" and "defensive hockey doesn't win games!".
I'd say he knows what hockey is, he knows what the Leafs uniform is, he knows that 40 years ago they won a shiny thing, and they're "going to win it again this year".
