I mean if you wanted to go this route, why is it that for the longest time euro captains or euro centric filled teams had trouble winning championships.
I know all about Detroit but their true leader isn't a russian.

Um, check the scoring leaders in the past 3-4 years. Canada dominating hockey is outdated. What have they won lately? 2006 World Championship? Thats about it. If you take the Russians out of Detroit they arent remotely the same team. Fedorov was the best playoff performer in the 90s. Malkin carried the Pens to the championship this past year. There is no way Canada can stop the Russians firepower. It's quite possibly the best collection of scoring talent I've seen in a decade.
