My number one concern is injury for any 1 of our guys who plays in this tournament...

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Didn't really care for it in the first place and now that it's been so overhyped, I really could care less about it

[HoweFan]

Haha! So it’s not just me

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Definitely not. I'll be rooting for Larkin and Raymond not to get hurt.

That's about it.

That's about it.

It would be devastating if any of our guys missed games due to injury...Just when things are looking up for us.

 

[RedHawkDown]

They really should just stick to the olympcis. This is such a gimmick and I don’t know a single person in real life who cares about it either.

 

[kliq]

I couldn't care less about a 4 team mid season international tournament.

Since you now care about this, how much less could you care?

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Meh.

 

[jkutswings]

I had to Google which countries were included. Zero interest. Hopefully everybody stays healthy and Detroit can keep the momentum going when the real games resume.

Don't care about but I think it will have a big influence to the rest of the season, a two weak break for everyone else helps to heel up the small bruises and injuries way more then the ASG break or the scheduled one weak off in the last years.

 

[Oddbob]

Not excited at all. Especially not with it shutting the season down for 2 weeks and potential for injury to Larkin or Raymond. This kind of thing needs to be a Sep 1st kind of tourney, not mid season and only 4 teams also makes it incredibly lame. Losing players for a nothing tourney that means nothing to pretty much everyone would be brutal.

2 week break can also cool off a hot team, like ours.

 

[SantosHalper]

Better than all-star "game".

Im waiting for the Olympics, this thing gives me practice tournament vibes.

Possible could also help McLellan fine tuning his system and be better.

How can we be better than 2, 7 game win streaks?

There is always something you can improve, as a group or every single player, having 2 weeks practice time during a season is a luxury for our new coach. The streak is nice, the position is nice as it was last year at the same time...

The key word being "practice". Since there's absolutely nothing on the line, it's essentially a second preseason - just get through it and don't get hurt.

 

[raymond23]

I don’t really care too much for it but I’d love to see Larkin get a taste of winning on the big stage

I’m also excited to see how Raymond looks for Sweden

 

[SoupGuru]

I'd much rather do this mini-tournament than an All-Star game that even the players think is a joke.
