World Cup works in Soccer because there dozens of 'premiere' leagues around the world, Europe, North America, and South America - that are pretty much all equal as the best players are scattered everywhere. In Hockey, there's the NHL, and after that all the other leagues are a clear step down - so fewer players to make a 'world cup of hockey' truly competitive. By that I mean, theres only ever two or three nations that can win a hockey gold, in Soccer - there's a legit 6 to 8 teams that can win - Italy, Spain, France, England, Netherlands, Germany, Argentina, Brazil just off the top of my head.

I slightly disagree. While fewer nations than in football are realistic candidates, upsets can and do happen. In my opinion Canada is the gold standard, but on any given day I could see the US, Sweden (my team), Finland, or Czechia beating them. Also, while I of course understand that Russia cannot participate, it is a big loss in terms of the spectacle of the tournament.
@jeffreym.895728 күн бұрын
The reason why there is a 4 Nations Cup is because the NHL only wants to use NHL players and make all the money for the NHL (Canada - 295), (USA - 207), (Sweden - 64) and (Finland - 36). Russia (41) will be there once they stop trying to take over the world. The Olympics and World Championships show us that many more than four countries should be included, but again, the NHL wants to make the $$$ here for themselves, not to foster the best competition and to be fair to other countries. The Czechs won the World Championship but their numbers aren't great if you are only picking NHL Czechs (23 players).

When expansion does happen, is shannon going to commission a new puck board for power rankings?

There is a blank spot on his pick board. Maybe he can put an insert into that blank spot.

Nothing about Fanatics? Might end up being a mute point this year given they are using Adidas factories until 25-26.

totally agree about world-cup thoughts that it should mimic soccer/olympics to be a real world cup, which at this point it ain't. 4-nations cup is also not attractive.

does expansion revenue help raise salary cap?

Yeah, I’m not excited at all for the 4 Nations Cup. There is a lot of good players that won’t be in it and besides Canada doesn’t have a lot of goaltender options.

Why do we need more teams? They play too many games as it is, with 2 or 4 more teams, the schedule will be even more ridiculous. There are usually half a dozen teams that endure playoff droughts for 8 or 10+ yrs. With 2 more teams that would mean like 8 to 10 teams that are horrendous for a decade - as it is usual for their to be repeat winners concurrently in a decade winning 2 or 3 Cups (Det, NJ, LAk, Pit, Chi, Tam) Why don't they start an (indoor) pro roller hockey league in the US?

Hockey isn’t as bad as some other sports but the talent pool is shrinking to further support expansion. There are guys in the league now who have no business being there. It’s creating Some complacency imo.
