Props To Doug Woog

During one of the games this past weekend, FSN's Marney Gellner was talking about T.J. Oshie's special contacts that are custom-made by Nike. Gellner said that he needs these because of "his oddly-shaped eyes." Woog immediately spoke up and said: "Let's use 'uniquely-shaped.'"

I'm confident that Gellner meant no slur (Oshie is part Ojibwa) but as someone who because of the shapes of my eyes was called "chink" more than once while growing up, I have to give major props to Woog. Good job, coach.
