Talk:Grant Fuhr

message: The article says that he was born to "bi-racial parents" -- does this mean that both parents were biracial, or that his parents were an interracial couple and thus he was biracial?
Incidentally, I was living in Buffalo when he was with the Sabres, and I recall that the golf club where the Sabre players traditionally played was discovered, upon Fuhr's application, to have a whites-only policy.  I seem to remember that his fellow players quit en masse.  Does anyone else remember the details of this incident?  This would have been in the early '90s, so the rule seemed quite outdated at the time. --Jfruh 17:18, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Biracial"? 

message: The article mentions his rejection from a Buffalo Golf club on racial grounds, then suggests that Fuhr never encountered racism while in the NHL. Perhaps he never encountered racism WITHIN the NHL, but it would be nice to have another source confirm this. In the meantime, i'll narrow things so that the article is at least internally consistent. --72.136.196.248 11:19, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  contradiction? 

message: I believe one of the notable things missing from this article was the fact that grant fuhr did have a drug addiction to coccaine
that link above can verify this fact.  Fuhr's addiction early in his career cme out in a Issue of the Edmonton Journal on Aug 31, 1990.
I think this is a more reliable source for that. BsroiaadnTalk 13:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drug Addcition Controversy 

message: Near the end of the page it says that it's believed Gretzky said Fuhr is the best goalie in NHL history a few times, but it should be noted that he said the same thing about Dominik Hasek. Should we put the verification/citing notees on that statement? Hasek is the best 03:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cite this fact 

message: It says that Fuhr was drafted in Major League Baseball by the San Diego Padres...it would be nice if someone could cite this fact, because I can't find his name in any draft history using this site.  I can only imagine this site is accurate since it's an official MLB site, so a reference to the contrary would be nice.

thread_title: No references tag & removal

message: This section needs a complete overhaul, but quite frankly, I'm baffled as to how to do it. I tried finding the article in the Buffalo News archives as instructed to do so by the article  but couldn't.  How do we fix this?  Schmloof (talk) 18:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Controversy in Buffalo section

message: The article about Fuhr contains a description of his performance in the 1987 Canada Cup as cementing his reputation as a great goaltender.  I remember watching the Canada Cup in 1987 and thinking that he played terribly, especially against the Russians.  Canada badly outshot them, especially in the 3rd game, and barely beat them 6-5 with Lemieux's historic goal.  Whoever wrote that portion of the article either didn't watch the 1987 Canada Cup, or has a very poor memory. 66.11.73.250 (talk) 18:04, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Selected as the 1987 Canada Cup All-star goaltender, including three wins and a tie against runner-up Soviet Union, a team that had more of the tournament's Top-10 goal scorers than Canada. Jmg38 (talk) 08:04, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canada Cup 1987 

message: The article says that he "was born to one African-Canadian parent and one Caucasian parent," but then it mentions that his "mother came from Enoch Cree Nation." Someone who is Cree is not Caucasian. 47.54.108.74 (talk) 03:05, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
