I used to be a big NHL fan (before they pussified the sport), and it was disconcerting when all the Russians came over, and everyone was named Blank-onov.

I don't understand why this would be disconcerting? You couldn't overlook players' surnames and be happy with an increase in talent?

the increase in talent decreased the excitement of the game for many fans
it caused the trapping defenses that brought in much lower scores
I believe the high-flying NHL of the mid80s was about the peak of that sport in Americans' eyes
