yeh I have to agree, Americans used to suck at hockey. We would pound them every year, no offence. It was counted as an easy win over them at one point. But now I am very impressed with their current players and younger players yet to arrive into the NHL. They are just getting better and better every year. Perhaps one day the best.........in the future.
I also have to say I have been impressed, to a slightly lesser degree, with Finland's teams and players over the last few years.

I do agree with that
There are some really talented American players out there, some of who i really admire
Mike Greir, Doug Weight, Bill Guerin and Bret Hull all great
But it seems that the Gifted canadian rookie supply is neverending though
how many years is it gonna be before we see players like the ones stated

I remember playing adult league in Fort Erie Ont. There were guys there who were tremendous players and for one reason or another never had a good shot at advancing beyond juniors.
Even though the game's popularity has really taken off in the US, I was in awe while living outside Montreal and having about 5 rinks within a 3 mile radius of my house!

Yup, currently I have 6 within 5 mins or so of my house.
2 indoor and 4 outdoor.
Thats the normal I think in Canada in most cities, alot of rinks.

Growing up in Minnesota, we had dozens of rinks within a few miles of my home.
Every park had its baseball field flooded by the fire dept and turned into an ice rink. Some even had boards set up to make it a hockey rink.

Dude in his day scoring 50 goals was no piece of cake and he was doing that and getting his ass beat every other week by John Ferguson. Hull was one of the greatest left wingers to ever play the game...

Got a question for you fellas....
What's the name of the Swedish NHL player they called Magic Man, because during an interview he shot the puck twice and hit the goalpost from the centre ice face off(?)?
He did because the interviewer asked if he could hit it, and after the first hit the guy said that it was a lucky shot until he did again with the next one.
The name has completely slipped my mind....
