It is a widely known fact that no team with a European captain has ever won a Stanley Cup. Look at the remaining teams:
Edmonton - led by Jason Smith, Ryan Smyth, Chris Pronger, and Mike Peca
San Jose - led by Patrick Marleau, Joe thornton, and Scott Hannan
Anaheim - led by Scott Niedermayer (Ok Selanne is doing a great job too, but without Niedermayer they never could have stood a chance)
Buffalo - led by Chris Drury and Daniel Briere
Carolina - led by Rod Brind'amour and Eric Staal
Teams that never stood a chance:
Vancouver - led by Markus Naslund
Toronto - led by Mats Sundin
New Jersey - led by Patrik Elias
Montreal - led by Saku Koivu
When push comes to shove - the North American Captain will do what it takes to lead his team to victory. Its tough to argue with this stat. |

Not sure if he officially wears the C but Yashin on Long Island is probably the last guy you would want to have as a leader on a team
After witnessing the play of Ryan Smyth and Scott Niedermayer, I am starting to buy into this theory.
