Pardubice could win this. We've been doing very well at the Spengler lately.

I don't know who Pardubice is sending but it's a damn nice roster. Very excited! Smejkal, Kaut, Cervus, Zboril, Hajek.. yes please!

Never cared about this tourney. Its basically the Swiss equivalent of the all star game. Its still part of the swiss hockey culture though and probably also important in introducing the game to new generations of fans. That doesnt mean its interesting to watch however, not for me at least.

Looking at the NL scoring list they actually might wanna think about introducing a team Finland in adition to team Canada…

As a swiss person i agree with you i don‘t care about the tournament too. However when i was i child it was basically the only hockey i was watching all year. As you stated i think the value of the tournament of introducing new people to the sport is immense. Only people who really know hockey in switzerland realize that the wjc is a lot more entertaining and meaningful. And there are junior players who‘s dream it is to play in the spengler cup one day so the value of the tournament for swiss hockey can‘t be denied. I don‘t like Davos playing with 8 foreigners last year which are almost DEL numbers tho… besides that the level is great. I mean that davos can build i rivalry with a team canada consisting of random players from europe shows that the tournament is popular amongst people.

FTR.. I think the tourney means exactly NOTHING. But I've always loved it. Part of the Xmas hockey experience. Jrs in evening, Spengler in morning. NHL even later in day. As an Oil and Czech fan.. it's possible for me to wakeup, watch the Extraliga club, then watch the Czech U20 and the Oilers play after that in one day. Magic!

Yes - part of the fabric now and our family always watches. I do enjoy seeing the different teams play we don't get to see much of unless they are in the Champions League.

The Spengler is a unique and historic tournament that caters to that most old-fashioned and obsolete concepts of hockey fandom: fun.
