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

[nucks88]

Thank God Hughes did the selfless thing and passed on this pointless tournament. He should come out of this two plus week shut down like he was shot out of a cannon!

 

[ORRFForever]

MY bold prediction...

"The 4 Nations Cup will be more exciting than the Superbowl".

 

[Slapshot_11]

Won't watch a second of it

 

[OldCraig71]

NHL rivals put it all aside and become teammates and friends leaving behind tight playoff races and risk injuries that could derail their NHL seasons. What's not to love?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Im still going to watch it, I think it will be really competitive. I'll take this over any All Star weekend any day where players pretend to want to be there.

 

[Lunatik]

I have no interest, but I enjoy hockey, so I will still have it on in the in the background if nothing else I want to watch is on.

 

[KCC]

Zero interest. Won't be watching.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

I'm gonna have to find something else to do for 2 weeks. This tournament format is effing stupid and I can't take any hockey tournament sriously that doesn't include Russia, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany and Switzerland

 

[MNRube]

75% of the best players on the planet playing for their country? Sign me up, warts and all.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

The fact Crosby is going to play through an injury for this should tell you how seriously most players are taking it.

Gonna be fantastic hockey, don't understand the people who don't want to watch

 

[FinPanda]

I am so excited to see the Finnish offence. No country has seen their beat play together in years and while this isn't the olympics and not all countries are involved, it still should be a very fun tournament to watch.

M.Tkachuk, Matthews etc for US.. Crosby, MacKinnon, Makar, McDavid for Canada.. Aho, Barkov, Rantanen for Finns.. Nylander, Pettersson, Hedman etc for Sweden. Its gonna be fun.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Never understood this from the start. It's an exhibition tournament. It's not the Olympics, winning means nothing.

Hope for no injuries.

 

[Schennanigans]

Why only 4 teams. Lmao.

Honestly, my fellow Canadian fans have soured me on international hockey. The incessant whining about the team and how they think they could make a better one, and then the "I told you so" if Canada doesn't win, as if that proves the team they wanted was better.

Why only 4 teams. Lmao.

Because realistically only 5 countries can make a claim for the top team in the world... and f*** Russia.

If the players care I will care. I’ll check out the first matchups and go from there. Is this take contrarian enough or should I be more cynical?

I think you should parade in the streets of downtown holding a sign stating your opinion of the tournament.

 

[Felidae]

I'm kinda surprised by the apathy. The players seem to care about this tournament, for that reason alone I'll at least watch a game or two and make my decision whether to continue from there.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

The players do care, it's the best of the best tournament. USA vc Canada with best players will always be heated, plus there's a side to this I'm not supposed to get into

 

[Macbanan]

The tournament isn't true best on best but the games will be.

Don't think I will be convinced why Canada-USA or Finland-Sweden aren't interesting best-on-best matchups.

 

[BHawk21]

29 pages of people discussing whether a tournament is interesting or not is interesting.

6 of the top 7 threads

 

[FlyguyOX]

I have no interested in Sweden or Finland. Will probably only watch USA-Canada

 

[Bruins4Lifer]

I'm looking forward to it. But I'm expecting the players to care and play at a high intensity/compete level.

 

[HabsCode]

Same people saying they have little interest will watch every game and just complain lmao.

The main reason Crosby will play this if even injured is b/c he has nothing to play for in the NHL this year

Pens bottom feeder team, he has little help and hes producing well but not anywhere enough to make up for huge roster flaws.

This will be his only time to play high pressure/stakes hockey for his 2024-2025 season so he will take it
