If you look at total number of playoff series wins since '94, Canadian teams have won a lower proportion than the proportion of Canadian teams in the NHL.
That said, I'm more than happy with another Canadian team bounced in round 2.  |
Well said. Not to take anything away from the 93 Habs but that was world class goaltending from arguably a top 3 goalie in history. Prior to that the 90 Oilers were a dynasty. This problem goes back further than we think.
Thousands of players, who knows how many coaches, managers and ownership changes. Throw in the so called parity from 20 years ago and it's an issue.
My concern is that the league doesn't care cause us Canadian fans continue to just pay $$.
