What intensity do you expect the players to play the 4 Nations Tournament?

[DownIsTheNewUp]

Not at all expecting playoff intensity. Yeah they have a lot of pride playing for country, but nothing close to winning a cup.

Like an All Star game, because it’s literally the All Star game with new branding, and everyone knows it.

You’ll be disappointed then, if you think it’s will be like an all-star game.

Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul level

It's a BS gimmick tournament. Not even best on best, no team Russia.

Expecting it to be like a regular season type of atmosphere, maybe playoff hockey for the final but that's it. It's a meaningless tournament the league just made up out of nowhere and excluding a top 3 hockey country.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Weegar and Doughty are basically begging to be on the team.

Would they do the same for an all-star game?

I just don't see all-star game intensity as being realistic. I think it will be playoff intensity (especially Canada-US game and final).

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

It’s going to be pretty intense, especially from the swedes and Finnish. They are notoriously passionate about playing for their country.

I just hope we have a good finals with USA and Canada. I think they’ll try harder than many are imagining here.
