How come we beat you then? And of course you have the biggest talent pool when you have more registered players than all countries in Europe put together.
I do put Canada on a "pedestal", they are the best hockey nation in the world. Why are you bringing that up, when did I ever say otherwise?
The best season an NHL team has ever had was 8 losses, accomplished by the Habs in the seventies. I suppose there were somewhere between 5 and 8 teams saying, How come we beat you? That's how silly your statement sounds. How come Sweden has won ZERO golds in 30 years? That's a much better question.
