Lets forget the NHL for now because 3 legit titles in 30+ years won by a Euro starter is too much 411 to handle.... So the World Juniors, AHL, ECHL all feature North America starters winning at these high levels almost ALL the time too. There's no "wave" of things changing, not in 2016, not in 2008, not in 2023. Maybe if we're lucky its in a 3rd of 4th decade from now we will start to see Euro starters get closer to actually winning championships on the regular, but i have my doubts. Until then, have a Snickers, its nothing personal.
