not to be overdramatic or anything but the WCoH was the dumbest thing and whoever came up with the idea should be launched to jupiter with no spacesuit

The more I see details like players wearing stickers of their NHL teams on their helmets I cringe (it's cute, but still). And things like ~Team North America~ ~Team Europe~ and the fake national anthems, lmao I hope the players aren't falling for it and still demand to go to the Olympics. The NHL can stand to lose money for two weeks, it actually irritates me so much.

Also I was watching Stephen A Smith talk about Torts and the anthem thing and he said if players representing the National team want to kneel, they should, because representing the US is not a private interest like representing your NHL team (or any national league sports team), so it should be allowed...but seeing as this whole tournament is organised by the NHL for NHL interests, it pretty much is a private interest thing, right?

NA

but seeing as this whole tournament is organised by the NHL for NHL interests, it pretty much is a private interest thing, right?

For me this is a difficult line to try to draw because isn't every national tournament some kind of private interest thing when it comes down to it? It's not like the IOC runs the Olympics out of anything but self-interest even though people care more about that tournament. Mainly I'm not sure if that popularity somehow changes how it should be described from the organizing perspective.

I was on the "this is stupid, but at least it seems fun" camp until today. Now that Seguin apparently injured his knee in the last game, I totally agree with you.

(ayrt is a stars fan which may or may not be the reason for my current opinion about this "tournament")

I know the NHL prefers this tournament because everyone's insured and they're making money off it but tbh I kind of think there's a greater chance of injury here than in the Olympics, incidents like Tavares aside, because the sample size here is smaller and they're playing against more NHL people than they normally would in the Olympics (other than the US and Canada, which are givens) so more people are playing with an edge.
