Avec Barkov en finale, il pourrait être le premier capitaine finlandais à remporter la Coupe. Ce qui m’a fait penser à ce que d’autres nationalités de capitaine en plus du Canadien ont hissé Lord Stanley. J’ai décidé de compiler une liste remontant à 1990 et voici les résultats.

Russian, Ovi
Slovakian, chara
Swedes, Lindstrom and Landeskog
USA Dustin brown, Derian Hatcher and I can’t think of the third one it’s driving me crazy
I’ve always found this to be a silly thing to pay attention to.
It seems to date back to Don Cherry’s pinheaded takes about ‘euro’s’ and other nonsense xenophobic shit he’d spew.
I spent about 25 minutes rattling my brain trying to think of the third American captain. There isn’t one. It’s one guy twice.
Do Canadians outnumber all other players by a rate of 25-7? I don’t think so. Do they proportionally outnumber captains 25-7? Not sure. If not, it seem like a statistical anomaly that they win more than other countries.
I’d love to hear a reasoning why.
Added: There are 15 Canadian captains CURRENTLY. So, at this moment, the 25-7 number appears to be a statistical anomaly.

Lets add finnish (1) to that
It sure is time for a Finnish captain to win the cup.
Does Rantanen count for Finnish if Landeskog puts him on his shoulders
If you wanna win, load up on Canadians.
Quick FYI:
It’s Slovak; not Slovakian. Slovaks that speak English will correct you till kingdom come if you say or write Slovakian in front of them.
TIL Barkov is Finnish
I wonder who the Slovakian was??
Canada-25 literally everyone else- 7
Me Heather m houser
Hey, my team is responsible for the 1 Slovakian on this list!
Tell me again how Canadians don’t win Stanley Cups…
Ok
