RAMBUTANS Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Obviously, Euros like Swedes (Edler), Danes and others can't win us the cup. They are too soft for today's NHL. They are not built for the playoffs. Now, the Americans like Kesler, Booth and Higgins are all on-and-off guys. Not talented enough. The only solution is to accumulate as much Canadians into the system like what Chicago and Boston did and win us the Cup. The only exception to this is Luongo and Bieksa. They are Canadians but they fall into the category of the Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Detriot? And Last Time I check Chara was European and there Leading Scorer and the Overall Leading scorer in the Playoffs (Krejci) was European also. Chicago also had some good Europeans that helped them like Hossa, Hjarlmsson, Kopecy. I just don't see your Argument. (excuse my spelling some names are hard to spell, and i don't feel like looking it up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace_of_Spades Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Is this really a topic.....? Did I really just spend 18 seconds reading the first 6 replies.....? Am I really wasting another 28 seconds typing out a reply back.....? No Seriously, what a brutal thread, this should be getting locked as soon as a mod gets up this morning. There are plenty of great European players and shame on you for damning an entire continent because our best players have hit a dry spell in scoring right now, lets not forget our best offensive forward is out with a scrambled brain right now, and I personally think a few other guys are hurting bad right now as well (kesler, edler, Hank) All in all, give your head a shake.

unknown33429 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Gotta agree with the OP; I would love to have a Linden type leader on this team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 But those teams also had those players you want to boycott; Chara, Thomas, Hossa, Seidenberg, Krejci. I agree, you want a team made mostly of North Americans. The Wings only pulled it off with Euro's because they're a flawless franchise from top to bottom.

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 A 50 goal sniper who hasn't done anything since? If we're looking for a solid, consistent sniper, look at Stamkos, who is Canadian. (Keep in mind, I assume you're talking about Ovie and not Malkin, I think I would take Malkin above anybody in the league right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
