Really poor choice of wording in the tread title.
"Lord Stanley dislikes Canada"
If that were the case, why do so many Canadian players win it every year, with more Conn Smyth winners than any other nationality by a wide margin?
The obvious answer as to why a team situated in Canada hasn't won the cup in some time is because they play American teams full of Canadian players.
We are the dominant force in the league and the number one hockey nation on earth.
I was in the US last week and had an American try and rub my face in the fact a Canadian city hasn't won in so long. I pointed out how many Canadians are key players on cup winning teams and he matter of factly said it's because we make up the largest contingent of the league. Ah, yea. Cause we're the best at hockey. Duh.
Nothing to see here.
