It does seem that the Euro's like Montreal. They do always talk about tradition. I think that the "Montreal Canadians" glorification still exists to some extend. i think it has less to do with greed than it does with the atmosphere in montreal/Quebec.

However, I must admit it does appear that recent teams that win the cup are loaded with western and Ontario boys. Look at the habs:

...Koivu/Kovalev/Samsonov/Plekanec/Perezogan/Koistysian/Bonk/Markov/Heut/Abiesher/sreit/and now that Gorbechev(sp?? guy). Even our good North Americans are mostly Americans...Komi/Higgins.

The habs are loaded. Is this a good thing??? Recent history says it is not...

Can't change the past, can only write the future. Let's break tradition. First Euro Captain to lead team to cup (though the name Gretzky sure doesn't sound non-European :P)

At this rate pretty soon they'll replace the CH on the jersey with a hammer and sickle.
