Thats an ignorant thing to say, because #1 a club from Tampa Bay beat a club from Calgary, and #2 there was maybe 5 American players on both teams, and I'm sure none of the European/Canadian players have any affiliation with Tampa Bay or the United States at all, besides playing hockey there.

I don't agree at all. Anaheim made the finals purely because of Juan-Sebastian Giguere, they had some good players, but their team changed and Giggy cannot play like that forever. Calgary is young, Jerome Igilna is amazing, Jordan Leopold etc are all coming up and are going to be really good. Leopold will lead the next generation of American defenseman, Brian Leetch, Chris Chelios etc. Calgary shouldn't lost anything too drastic, and they didn't overplay as much as Anahiem did. They will be around for a few years.
