Minnesota Wild could man handle every Canadian pro hockey player.

unless I counted wrong, 14 of 25 on that list are from Canada =)

EDIT: O yes, 16 players of 24, I couldn't see the logos because I was on PSP and images was off - had to read birthplaces.

I counted 18 out of 26.

Oh, and Ruutu bit Peters yesterday.......I guess he was watching this game.
