I thinks its because they have the top 20 ranked teams in the world in the NHL games. Ukraine also do have some good players like Fedortenko and Ponikarovsky. Problem is that they cant represent their country any more because of playoff duties in the NHL and it is left to many players in the KHL as their season finishes in March. They arnt as high in skill level as NHL tho, which is why Ukraine arnt as good as they used to be :)
