Not all of the Top 50 Scorers in the NHL will be in action this Winter Olympics, basically because Canada is limited to 20 skaters. What do I mean? What I mean is that the freaking NHL is dominated by high scoring canucks. Of the top 50 scorers in the NHL here’s the breakdown by country and points: Canada – 1,403 USA – 366 Russia – 356 Sweden – 303 Czech Rep – 104 Slovakia – 69 Slovenia – 62 Finland – 51 Poland – 47 Now I’ll be the first to admit that this stat has absolutely no statistical (as in the college class) significance when not weighed by player, but it’s still fun to look at. Over the years there have seemingly been a number of occasions to point at the decrease of Canada’s death grip on the NHL, and the sport of hockey in general. But I have to admit that the boys up north are still uncontested when it comes to the number of top level talents in the sport. While over the years the superstar dynamic has shifted so as to included players from Russia, Sweden, and Slovakia, but no country can even come close to matching the depth of talent coming from the US’s taiga top hat. Last draft almost 50% of the players drafted were from Canada.
