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

[Optimistic Cynic]

Add me to the list of guys who hope this is a one and done. Don't want to see it, don't care about the outcome. Wake me when the Olys return.

 

[Cheapshot]

Kind of stupid they didn’t do 5 nations and include Russia. Although I doubt Ovi would partake it would have been nice to see him with the younger Russian guys. Rosters are going to be interesting that’s for sure. CAN and USA def have some interesting choices to make filling out the rest of the line up.

I just can’t stand how the NHL approaches this

Who cares. Even if it was just USA vs Canada best on best thats enough for any real fan of the sport to get excited. I guarantee you and everyone here will watch it.

Oh stop gatekeeping. People can be fans however they want. There is no "real fan" BS. Just because I don't want to gobble up everything the NHL is trying to sell me, doesn't make me a fake fan. The only good thing about this tournament is that it replaces the All-Star game for a year.

I think it will be a very enjoyable tournament. You will have the best of players playing for 4 of the 5 top countries.

For some players this may be the last time you get to see them play for their country, while others will be playing hard to impress enough to get considered for the next Olympics.

Russia might not even play in the next Olympics either, so I am not very concerned about their absence here.

 

[Grifter3511]

They have zero reason to care. It's just some afternoon pond hockey for them.

Well there you have it.

 

[ZEBROA]

Sucks that Russia and the US won't be able to attend since they are both at war with other countries.

Oh wait it's only non American countries that can't start wars my mistake

Come back when US try to take over Canada or Mexico and call it a operation to get rid Nazis...

 

[Holtbyisms]

Couldn't care any less about it. I'm always down to watch some hockey but just hoping none of my teams players get hurt.

 

[RorschachWJK]

Out of the top 25 NHL scorers today, 10 will not participate in this tournament.

10/25.

Best on best hockey

And rightly so, in the case of the USSR vol 2. f*** their country.

 

[ViD]

And rightly so. f*** their country.

Not cool of you to disrespect 5 countries at once like that

You know which country is meant.

No, I don’t, tell us, it you’re such a tough guy here
