Who else has very little interest in the Four Nations tournament?

[SnowblindNYR]

It's a step above the in season tournament in the NBA but I still don't care about some made up tournament that was invented a year ago. Plus, question Russian politics all you want but Russia not being in this tournament makes this tournament and even bigger joke from a hockey perspective.

 

[Zalos]

Could be great! It's best against best and the players will play for their home country. More likely for them to push and try to win. As for Russia, they should have a special draft where each of the four nations get to pick the Russian stars one by one.

That being said, this thread is a good way to identify the people on here who are against fun. The NHL is trying to bring back international competition and we still got people bitching and whining about it before the tourney has even been played.

Will be fun to watch! And I'm happy Russians are not playing. Send their players to the front lines.

 

[eviohh26]

No Russia , No care.

 

[Plural]

No Russia = waste of time

Absolutely not. They have no business in being best-on-best ice. Mentally weak and soft players who belong in C-tier. Not in A-tier

 

[ViD]

No Russia, no care

 

[Jaska]

Exactly. No Russia, no care. World would be much better without Russia.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Olympic hockey is bad

 

[muddywaters]

Is this taking the place of the All Star game or the Olympics or what ... not paying attention.

 

[MikeyMike01]

International team sports are boring and a complete waste of time.

Gimmick tourney to give mcdavid a chocolate medal.

There’s no Czechia. That’s like an NBA tourney with the Lakers, Celtics, Bucks, and Sixers, but no Bulls because they haven’t won anything lately.
It’s dumb, and disrespects the Czechs.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Waste of time

WTAF?! Do Kucherov and Shesterkin ring a bell?

 

[hangman005]

Meh, I don't give a shit about International Hockey to begin with, so this is somehow less than that... I guess I'm receiving shit. Haven't fully done the math on this one.

Cool, but this has nothing to do with international competition, it's just NHL tournament/exhibition, featuring only 4 teams (nations). It will be probably good training for them ahead of the Olympics. At least it will be better than watching All-Star game, but that is not saying much.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

I always enjoy watching Canada play, so I’ll be watching.

It’s a shame that there’s only 4 teams though. Swiss, Czech, Slovakia and Germany should absolutely be in this. Russia would be nice but if Sweden and Finland are gone because of them then it’s not worth it.

C-tier, like I said.

 

[swissdude]

I guess evereybody outside US,CAN,SWE,FIN

 

[DamonDRW]

I would suggest next time to decrease it to 2 teams tournament and then eventually to 1 team tournament.
