Sucks to be a small Canadian market. If I were Murray Edwards I'd be pushing hard during the next CBA negotiations to get a fairer deal for Canadian teams.

No wonder a Canadian team hasn't won the Cup in nearly 30 years. We struggle to keep our stars. Only a matter of time until we see the Canucks, Jets, Oilers and Senators lose their stars.

This seems true.
