But the Red Army isn't in the NHL.

huh? what does that mean

Where do you think many Russian players who currently play in the NHL started out and got their experience?

But I'm refering to countries that actually have NHL cities...........Canada is #2 in that area :)

If you are talking Nationalities though which I am, Canada is over and above the most represented, player-wise in the NHL.

My roommate has a theory that there should not be any hockey teams where there is not any naturally occurring ice...LOL

I believe that too ;) - then we would still have our Winterpeg Jets and not the Phoenix Coyotes...

woooo how about them devils, baby :)

Don't forget the Quebec Nordiques, Siobhan, who were reincarnated as the Colorado Avalanche.

While I am disappointed that the Ducks did not win the cup, I will be gracious and say "Congratulations to the NJ Devils".

At least they get snow in Colorado LOL.

Shame on you devils' fans for booing JS on winning the Conn Smythe - not cool at all.

Heck if the Nucks won the cup Gerry Bettman could win the Conn Smythe for all I care. :p

Anyways congrats Jersey - you better be out partying tonight and not at home rooting for the Nets

Amen to that!!!!!! JS SO deserved the Conn Smythe!

Take away my Soul Card, I am a black woman who loves hockey! :D

Congratulations Devils! :)

I was thinking the same thing. That was in very poor taste! At least the players were classy and clapped for him.

I feel bad for Mrs. Niedermayer. They kept showing her and she didn't look truly happy for Scott...I guess it's hard to be when your other son just lost. :(

Yeah New Jersey Devils! :) :D :cool:

I remember when the Islanders won in the 90's. The team took the cup out to bars to celebrate and let people drink out of it. There were rumors that the cup was lost or stolen in a bar in Manhattan. I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe the Devils will take the cup out to celebrate this year. :D :cool: :)

I must have missed that yr, lol.

Yeah those rumors always crop up.... on a side note the Cup always ends up in Toronto during the summer (well at least the past 4 years) with one of the players. The players like to hang out with their buddies and go drinking with the Cup at places like the Beer Market or the Madison Ave Pub.... and Coors should never be put in the Cup, thats just offensive!

I think you mean the "Bier Markt" ;)
Great place! So is the labyrinth that is The Madison!
