What does Virgil mean when he says, “Maybe someone just gave you a chance to rub the shit off the board once and for all” (91)? -Will Saul be able to do this? Support your response.

Virgil says Saul can start again in Toronto and become great. Unfortunately, Toronto is a magnified extension of the racism and abuse Saul has suffered in the white towns. Saul can't erase the shit because he is just given more. Saul is only seventeen. He has no support in Toronto and cannot process the abuse inflicted upon him in the white world of hockey.
