Four Nations Face-Off Schedule

I don't understand why people on this site are so anti-this tourney. We've never seen Crosby, McDavid, and MacKinnon on a Team Canada together before. That alone is worth the viewership. Who cares how it got there, at least that is finally happening. Nobody is phoning it in when they have their country colours on their chest.

I think it's a mix of it being mid-season (and not the Olympics) with only 4 teams competing making it seem kind of awkward, and also maybe a lack of confidence due to Canada's recent performances in international tournaments being terrible and way below their standards.
