I am not sure you are understanding the discussion here. These are players born and raised in the US, I don't care who their father is. These players are trained in US programs, resources spent on them including attending US camps and festivals.. The US is losing players just like Canada does, people are completely ignoring it and just want to ***** one way over the other.
Call them all out if you are going to take a stance and not just one way...
And isn't Bordeleau's mom American as well???
I get that a lot of those players are growing up developing in the U.S system and with those resources but thats not the point we are getting at, we are saying they are all kids of Canadian hockey playing dads, thats the point, and the U.S benefits from this far more then the other way around. I mean, name me the last American players kid who played for Canada? And now even with American players in far greater numbers then ever before and with better players then ever before playing their careers in Canada their kids aren't going to end up playing for Canada in the future, thats a pipe dream because all those players take off back to the U.S and make their home there the second the n.h.l season is over.The Canadian players are exactly different, most of them stay in the U.S. And as far as them having American moms well lets face facts, they aren't getting their hockey playing ability from Darlene.
And don't get me wrong, that makes me angry at all those Canadian players
not at the U.S program.
The U.S makes out like bandits and we all know it.
Now that's fair game and kids can play where they want to play but you've got to understand some of our fans frustration at the "trade imbalance" here so to speak.
It makes ya feel like the plain jane girl at school who loses all the guys to the beautiful prom queen.
