Is it safe to say that USA-Canada is now the biggest rivalry in international hockey?

1. Yeah 30% of NHL players of this generation will be Canadian

2. In 200 years Canada will probably not have existed for a long time. Countries are born and die. Canada did not exist 200 years ago. Open a history book to any period or region.
Well in 200 years I'll be the first guy to tell you that you are right if that happens okay.

The american took the rivalry after the cold war ended and we got russian players coming to the NHL. Russia imo has never been canada's "key rival" like the USSR was.
 
As if I gave a damn between USA and Canada. As a Frenchman, I am neutral. I am for sports logic.

Objectively, USA will be better than Canada in the future. That's all.
Is sports logic different than regular logic?

If I lose 10lbs in 10 days and i start at 250 lbs in 2500 days i will become nothing right?

That's the "logic" you are bringing here.

Ah France, only reason the country is good at soccer and basketball because of immigrants like mbabee and wemby. Without them, France's ever smaller native population would be an embarrasement on the world stage.

The collapse in the percentage of Canadian players in the NHL, I'm not making it up.

And given that the USA, Russia, Czechia, Slovakia and minor nations are in an ascending sporting phase, the decline is expected to continue. And as at the same time hockey is increasingly competing with other sports (Soccer, Basketball, etc.) - I don't really see the dynamic changing.

France was already performing well in these sports before the Africanization of its youth.

Afterwards yes, natives have been in the minority in terms of births for several years and in the minority among those under 20 in metropolitan areas.

Alongside sport, the country is experiencing very strong political, social and economic crises with the almost certainty of terrifying decades to come.
