Active NHL players by nationality

Yeah, more playmakers and two-way forwards for sure.

But there were actually six Swedes scoring 30+ as recently as this season, and six in 2020-21 as well. That’s the record though.

What is worse than the quantity is the upper quality. No one has topped 50 goals!

I think 37 players from exactly 20 years ago

Pepperidge farm remembers.

Every morning on the sport news there would be a summary of the production of the Slovak players.

We were feared at the national level, there was a top 7 and the US was considered to be the weakest of the lot.

Meanwhile this year I've probably seen highlight of every Slovak point in the league. There weren't many.

Yeah, that one’s weird. A few close ones and what-ifs though. Nilsson, Näslund, Sundin, Filip Forsberg and Sandström came close in healthy seasons. The latter two and Zibanejad kept up 50+ goal pace in injured seasons.

Every team has a at least 3+ Swedes. Sweden celebrates Stanley Cup every year.
Finland has got so few NHLers, all of their eggs are in the same basket = Florida.

The goal is to win the Stanley Cup. Not scoring 50+ goals. Matthews needs to produce in the playoffs too.
