Thanks! And I'm definitely sympathetic to that mindset. As much fun as it ended up being, I thought Team North America was gimmicky and pointless from the beginning, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the players felt the same way. What he actually said was pretty mild, all things considered.

Yeah, I wasn't being super serious about doubting his commitment. I do think there were players on the team that were more into it/cared more than him though, so I still kind of wish they'd given somebody else the C. Maybe he just doesn't express that much enthusiasm in interviews etc in general, but he just seemed kind of flat most of the time.

Yeah, McDavid's entitled to feeling however he likes about this tournament. I just wish that, given that he didn't seem that into it, he hadn't been been given the captaincy and so much ice time. Neither of which were his fault, but it still feels unfair to everyone else. Another thing to resent the coaching staff for, I guess!

I'm kind of laughing at people who said he would be the best forward on Team Canada. He wasn't even the best Canadian forward on Team NA! Though I guess I'm excited to watch Mackinnon this year now, lol.

I had 0 feelings about MacKinnon before this tournament but now I firmly believe he should have been Captain and can't wait to watch him in the future. He tore it up every game.

MacKinnon always tries. There was a point last year where him Duchene and Gabe were playing on a line. It was fun.

I hope this year he doesn't get hurt and has line mates that can match his speed.

Mackinnon was a real gem and a pleasure to watch. Definitely a highlight of the tournament.

And the Avs don't have Roy anymore. I'm planning to tune into some of their games for sure.

Same. I wasn't into them before, but it'll be interesting to see how the team develops with a new coach.
