I'm guessing you are referring to when Saul plays for the Toronto Marlies. The general hockey public cannot see past Saul's aboriginal heritage. No matter how well he plays, Saul is seen as an Indian. The use racist tropes like "warrior" and "scalping" to describe Saul. This is what sells newspapers and air time and to some extent, tickets.
