I'll likely watch US vs Canada. Hard to not have at least SOME interest in that.
Then I'll watch the...gold medal game? Championship game? Whatever the f*** they are calling the 4 Nations Super Bowl.
As is standard operating procedure, I will root for Sid.

Finland and Sweden seem like they'll be okay, but, kinda screwed being split up? I feel like the NHL was scared casual fans tuning in (hahahaha...) wouldn't know what country Scandinavia was.
Canada should win.
USA really should be the worst.
Maybe. I dunno.

I mean, technically Finland isn't in Scandinavia soooo....Northern Europe?
USA the worst? Idk about that man. I know there were some questionable selections and Quinn Hughes missing hurts, but they still have plenty of star power + best goaltending.

Yeah, maybe that would have made more sense?
I dunno. This shit is stupid. At least risk player health for some true IIHF or Olympic stuff.
Friendly "world" tournament in the middle of the regular season is just so dumb.

Added to the OP
The Americans have the most well balanced roster and the best goaltending. It's their tournament to lose.

Sullivan: challenge accepted.
Yea, but Canada has McDavid, Mackinnon and Makar. Plus Sid. Tough to beat that, even with depth
Canada's goaltending is very suspect. Even McJesus and Friends will have a hard time scoring enough to cover that up.
True, but McDavid almost did just that last year in the playoffs. Guy is a scoring machine. As long as Canada doesn't get MAF circa 2012 level goaltending, I wouldn't bet against them lol

It's too bad we can't see a Russian team compete in all these international events. Hockey isn't a sport with enough international depth to kick out a top 5 country without it seriously limiting the quality of competition.

Well I was trying to be PC about it.
But considering that 100% of wars are politically based, I didn't think it needed to be explicit.
USA is pretty bad due to Mike Sullivan being the coach. The roster also is bad. Not sure they're the worst, but they will probably finish last.

You must not follow the league then. I'm not sure how it's even a question.
They have the 2nd best forward group. Easily the best defensive group. And easily the best goaltenders.
