Yet another "world series"?  The "american world" against the 
"russian world".  Let's just forget the other nobodies. After all
they must be on another planet.  Anyway, I'm positive that the
russians would refuse to play in the Stanley Cup.

I would prefer to see an NHL conference established in Europe.  This
way the drain of good european hockey players to North America could
slow down.  I think a lot of the imports playing in the NHL today
(Kurri, Naslund, Lindbergh, Nilsson, etc.) would prefer to play over
in Europe if economically feasible.  There would certainly be enough
good players around to create several good teams.  And maybe some
north american players would mind to play in Europe.
