What? Is 17 years really that long? I guess it has been a 'long' time by the standards they had set prior but when US teams outnumber Canadian ones like 4 to 1 they're bound to win more. And you have to take into account how great the Red Wings have been over the past 20 years so that basically negates the ability for the western Canadian teams' ability to win.

This whole Gretzky/Lemieux discussion is absurd. 99 is retired league wide for a reason; the Hockey Hall of Fame stopped waiving the waiting period (outside of humanitarian reasons) after Gretzky's retirement. Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player ever. The only other player who's even in the discussion is Bobby Orr and even then it's generally B's fans who throw his name out there.
