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

[Tie Domi Esquire]

The only interesting thing about this is seeing the US team crash and burn again during another "golden era"

 

[karhukissa]

No interest at all. It’s a gimmick.

I doubt players actually care…

Canadian and American guys probably doesn't care, i think Finnish players enjoy it a lot. Dunno about Swedes.

That said, Czechs should definetly be in. I definetly understand why Russia isn't in, but obviously it makes this tournament less interesting. As an European i'm used to these international breaks, although those games are meaningful. If you take it just as an exhibition, i guess it would be fun to watch all the best guys together after a long while.

I was into this until I saw prices to go. WTF are they thinking?! Championship $310+ for junk seats. USA/CAN $500+ Canadian.

The Russia thing is dumb imo. Theyre playing in our league still as individuals and we dont care, but the second they get together as a group, we exile them? Name them Vuldemort or something and let them all play.

"Hey let's start the Stanley Cup playoffs but the Atlantic Division is not allowed to play..."

No Russia = no care.

No team Bolivia? Pass

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I don't even know that was a thing , i couldn't care less

 

[featherhawk]

no interest in a tournament that only selects 4 countries to vie for a title...that is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[PaulD]

Beats the all star game . But easily the least interesting NHL international tourney to date.

Having said that.......As a Tesm Canada fan I hope the USA go with Hellebuyck. That guy is the biggest choker in big games.
The Canucks will blow him out.

The what?!

I wish the USA-Canada game was in Boston instead of Montreal. With our rat Marchand on Canada and Florida's rat Tkachuk on USA it might set up an interesting storyline. I wouldn't know which rat to root for

 

[Mogo]

It's gonna be the last time. Some star gets injured and misses playoff for these useless games

 

[njdevils1982]

The what?!

the 12 day break in the nhl schedule because gary is a f***ing moron

 

[Mike C]

No Russia , No care.

With Russia,No care

 

[the valiant effort]

There’s always a handful of goofs ready to choke and gargle on the NHL’s unimpressive offering(s)

 

[eviohh26]

With Russia,No care

Oh wow no way! That's pretty darn neat.

 

[McFlash97]

No Russia, no Olympics, no C for McDavid, don't give a fxxx about this waste of time glorified scrimmage between countries.
