For PLommer - Canadians in the NHL playoffs

PuckOff · Apr 15, 2014

Some interesting numbers. From cbc.ca

One last thing. By my count, 206 (give or take injuries and coaches' decisions) of the 320 players who will dress in Round 1 of the playoffs will be Canadian born. You can make it a Maple Experience:

Newfoundlanders suit up for Detroit and Tampa.
P.E.I has players in Boston, New York and St. Louis.
New Brunswicks Brad Malone is in Colorado.
Nova Scotia claims players in Boston, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Jose and Colorado.
Quebec obviously has the Habs. And Colorado has seven players from La Belle Province. Most of anyone.
Ontario: L.A. leads the way with nine players. The Rangers and Flyers have eight each, so maybe thats your series.
Manitoba: The reigning champs in Chicago have three Manitobans. So does Dallas.
Saskatchewan: 13 teams have your ambassadors. Philadelphia is tops with four. Columbus has three and would be a good choice for you.
Albertans skate for 14 teams in the playoffs. Dallas has four, Minnesota three.
British Columbia boasts players on nearly every team. Leading the way is Dallas with four and San Jose with three.

The team with the most Canadians? Colorado will dress 18. Dallas has 16 and Philadelphia 15. Detroit will likely go with seven to begin. Tampa Bay is next at nine.
