[QUOTE="Marco Polo, post: 148655"] Partially to do with the timing of the tournament it being pre season for the NH, however that is having a relatively minor effect in the grand scheme of thisng. I disagree that they are nescessarily physically that far behind the SH team and have caught up quite substantially in that regard in the last 10 years or so since professionalism. The main problem is that on average the skill levels, particularily the forwards are light years behind those of the best SH teams. [/QUOTE]
