Might as well build teams by first letter in the last name. The a b c d e g f h I j k.... teams that way everyone can be Allstars and play during the summer

The NHL version of world cup is reduculous.

I don't think you know what the word racist means. Really.

I know what it means because I'm part of a race. You don't sound like you really know what it means. Ever heard of a cook book?

Which part of a race are you? Start? Finish? Feed zone?

No. You really don't.

I won't beat around the bush. It sucks and sucks hard. I'm a little embarassed that this is the best the NHL can come up with. Let it die, man! I want the Olympics and I don't care that I have to get up at 330AM our time to watch it!

I think the biggest issue is this doesn't really leave room for any country out of the big six to get a chance to one day be a hockey power in a way. I think that the under 23 team is really stupid, which player would rather play on that team instead of their country? Scratch that team. Sure keep the team made up of 'the rest of the world' because it adds competition and excitement. But do a playoff for at least one team to make it in. That way no one can complain that they didn't get a chance. I understand not wanting to have two underdogs, the chances of both doing something is almost impossible. But give one team a chance, and make a competitive team of the rest.

Listen, I can't help but feel you are being a bit silly about this. I know what racisms are, got it? Maybe you need to start thinking about the future and you can understand it as well. PM me if you need to chat about it, I have been through a lot so I can help you understand what these things are, OK? I'm not just messing around about "Start?" Finish? "Feed "Zone"? Like... You think this is some joke? Seriously.

I will give you one thing. You are a member of a race. Everyone is in case you weren't sure about that. That doesn't mean you understand the word racist or what it means.

I don't mind the europe team, but the under 23 team is just a dumb idea.
Slovakia and the Swiss are not exactly pushovers, why not allow the other teams the chance to win to get in?

Oh right the NHL only cares about money, and wants to market their own players, not veteran european league players. This tournament will never even come close to the excitement of the olympics.

How can there be a Swiss team when there aren't enough NHL players to make up a team? This is an NHL tournament, with NHL players and the money going to the NHL and the PA. Why shouldn't they make the money from it? Of course, it's not going to replace the Olympics which is great because it is part of a larger event. This will be a tournament of the best players in the world and way better than the annual World Championships.
