That's a good point. Good thing we don't have any real competition yet
Also, comparing hockey to baseball, lol.
As much as you Americans love a good chance to be braggarts, you are still only fourth or fifth best in the world. Canada, Russia, Finland, Sweden are still way better. That won't change for many years, probably decades. And frankly even that is unknown... you guys gotta compete with basketball and baseball. So probably you'll top out at third best.
