How Many Canadian Players in NHL Playoffs?

Four teams remain as contenders for the 2010 Stanley Cup -- 
San Jose Sharks, Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens.


Many Canadians are pinning their hopes on the Montreal Canadiens, who lost badly last night to the Philadelphia Flyers (6-0).


But which of the remaining teams has the most players born in Canada? or USA? or Europe?


Wikipedia lists the players on all four teams according to their nation of birth:


Montreal Canadiens -- 4 American players

Philadelphia Flyers -- 5 American players

Chicago Blackhawks -- 7 American players

San Jose Sharks -- 8 American players

San Jose Sharks -- 5 European players

Chicago Blackhawks -- 7 European players

Montreal Canadiens -- 7 European players

Philadelphia Flyers -- 7 European players

Montreal Canadiens - 15 Canadian players
San Jose Sharks -- 20 Canadian players 
Chicago Blackhawks -- 20 Canadian players
Philadelphia Flyers -- 21 Canadian players


So, Canadian friends, if the Habs lose their Conference final playoff series, 
remember that all three of the USA-based teams have at least 5 more actual Canadians than the Montreal Canadiens.


Enough hockey foolishness for one day.
