A Canadian has led the league in penalty minutes each year. Simon, Verot 2x, Brennan - all played for Vityaz.

Ray Emery (CAN) had the best playoff save percentage in 2008-2009 with .941 SV%.

Kevin Dallman (CAN) had the most points and goals by a defenseman in 2008-2009, 2009-2010, and 2011-2012.

Deron Quint (USA) had most goals by a defenseman in 2010-2011.

No Canadian or American has won the Gagarin Cup.

That's because they're skilled players and all, but they lack the heart and the drive to succeed when the heat is on in the playoffs. Good Ural boys on the other hand have what it takes.

khlman · 06-22-2012, 09:27 AM

The goaltending has been really bad from North Americans.

Yes, 4 of the 10 All-Stars have been goaltenders but Esche and Holt aren't exactly considered that great, and after those pretty much everyone has been garbage with save percentages under .900.

cska78 · 06-22-2012, 10:27 AM

Dalton wasn't bad, and he was considered a weak goalie in Providance.

Vityaz actually does a good job of signing foreign goalies - Dalton and Lalande.

Too bad they use the rest of their foreigner spots on brain dead goons.

yunost · 06-22-2012, 03:23 PM

Dalton came up HUGE! Amazing call by Vityaz as he was super underrated in NA, he developed alot over the year too, would like to see that continue in Neftekhimik

Very bold statement to say the least, when the Olympic Gold Medal Game was played between Canada and the USA, and Russia didn't even medal.

Plus, Many of the Russian superstars in the NHL, (Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Radulov, Varlamov, Semin) have really struggled to make an impact in post-season play.

Really, you didn't get the irony?

And Kovi and Ovi have struggled. Right...

You do realize Russia just won the World Championship with a perfect record? And they have won 3 of the last 5. As for Olympics, let's just wait for Sochi.

Good post, reminds me of all those Canadian homeboys posting in the NHL part of the forum.
