All the European captains went golfing. The teams still in the playoff are all lead by Canadian captains.

Canadian Goalie has won so many times, tell me when was the last time a European captain won the Cup.

Well, many a goalie has LED his team to the cup. This thread is so incredibly ignorant. You can sit and quote stats about how many European captains there are, or have won the cup all you want. But you are so misguided if you honestly believe that Europeans lack the leadership skills to win the Cup. You make Cherry look like a moderate.

I didn't say I agreed with RemyMartin's point, just clarifying on what he meant for knight.

Actually my comment was directed at Remy for starting the thread. I only used your post because it did clarify RM's post so perfectly. My bad.

So, if we assume teams advance because of the leadership of Canadians, do we assume Europeans are the best goalies,a d-men (All of Philly's D are European)? If TB wins which is a strong possibility, are Americans the best coaches?
Why would the Red Wings not have advanced. Yzerman is Canadian and one of the great captains in NHL history. Not to mention the Rangers and Messier.
I am not a Leaf fan and not a great supporter of Mats Sundin, but if this a is Leaf Nation dump on #13, look at the organization, teh coach and the roster. Not just the captain. With Roberts, Neiuwendyck.....leadership in the dressing room or on the ice was not an issue in the Leafs failure.

True. As we all know you believe that the entire sport of hockey consists of how many pucks are in the net at the end of the game. Nothing else enters into the game. Nope. Nada. Not hitting, not passing, not winning face offs, not battles on the boards, not anything. Nope.

Now tell me who doesn't understand the intricacies of the game of hockey?

:rolleyes:

You don't, clearly.

You fail to understand that all of those things are important IN PROPORTION. Hitting isn't as important as scoring, or goaltending. Just because your team does fifty things well, but those two things don't happen to include scoring and goaltending doesn't mean your team has outplayed the other team.
LOL
In the end, the final score is a REFLECTION of all of those things. If you come to the conclusion that team A outplayed team B, then look at the scoreboard and see that team A lost, you need to rethink your analysis. You're obviously not factoring in everything in its proper relevance - you're assigning too much importance to shots, say, or faceoffs, or NOT enough to goaltending (which happens to be your particular foible, I think).

Of course, you've never understood this, so I don't expect you to now.

If you'd rather your team "outplayed" another and lost, rather than "being outplayed" and winning, you're a l0ser. Which I suspect might be the case.

I apologize for bringing this up again. I'm just glad that I can discuss these things without resorting to personal attacks...
