Why the heck is the World Cup Canadian?
Bettman is American. Most of the NHL Governors are American.
Most Canadians hated the 2016 World Cup which is evidenced by the lack of people watching and the lack of tickets sold.
Canadians didn’t want to see their best player on a different team. I’m sure fams of the USA was annoyed by having half their strength on the U-23 team.
I admit, I am in the wrong on this one.
The World Cup’s faults were more based on maximizing revenue by adding artificial teams, which really ruined it for me. Although I must admit that team NA U23 was fun to watch.
I’m just hoping for the Olympics to arrive.
And yes, I swerved to the post-truth era by mistake just because I got tired of reading the same stuff that we read after every hockey tournament where Canada (and or the best team) doesn’t win.
Ps. This tournament wasn’t for some reason as entertaining as some of the previous ones. This is a subjective view, but to me the top-of-the-top just wasn’t as mesmerizing as in some other competitions (like Finland’s 2016 team.) The Canada Finland game of that tournament still is to me the best game I have ever seen with the skill level being really high.
Or maybe I’m just not as emotionally invested to these younglings.
