Eastern Europe is second only to the NHL?,I wouldn't say so.Sure,there are excellent Eastern
European players,but as for 'second to the NHL'
I think the IHL,AHL and major junior in Canada
might just have something to say about that.The
biggest advantage is,as I said before,the
'togetherness' these teams in the EHL have.When Moscow come the week after next,I'll bet that 90% of their squad has played together since they were 5-6 years old.
