You're just cherry picking stats to back up a wild claim you made that Russians perfected hockey.
Clearly they didn't, because they're not and have not been dominating hockey. Perfection requires that.
I'm not the one who has to tuck away national pride. Whenever Russia is brought up in anything you go on and on about how it's the greatest at everything.
I actually don't think Canadian hockey players or Russian hockey players are better. I think they've both produced dominating teams as well as lack luster teams. They've had great battles against each other both winning some and both losing some.
I also think that right now Canada has a much better junior hockey system. The evidence for this is all kinds of European players coming to Canada to play junior hockey. This is not because Canadians are better than Russians, it's just the way things are, for now.
So you can rant and rave about how you've perfected a sport you haven't been dominating in but the rest of us can step back and say they're both pretty good hockey countries.
