Oh I get it. But we are a franchise that is starved for a championship and if I had to endure 5-6 years of idiotic decisions after we won 3 cups so be it lol...

Some would say we have had the 5-6 years of idiotic decisions regardless...

I'd like to say I would also endure it in exchange for one, but I also think I'd get used to the finer things in life and never want to go back

We are enduring it without the cup so why not with a cup

These outdoor games are ridiculous.

The camera angles are SOOOO BAD

They're a cool idea in theory, but they just don't pan out

I was intrigued to see the kids do it, where they would give 110% and be physical, but its been disappointing to me. Lack of intensity, atmosphere, and in a tournament where Goals For and Goals Against matter, it could really impact the results of round robin

Several teams in Sweden are now making a big push to land #Canucks forward Jonathan Dahlen out of Timra. Agent J.P Barry says no decision made yet.

The camera angles are awful!

The gimmick has worn very thin.

This camera angle is terrible, makes the rink look tiny.

It made less sense for the IIHF to do it in a tournament.
There is zero atmosphere and the crowd (numbers wise) looks lame.

Looks like they're shooting it from a booth.
I guess the union stepped in claiming unsafe working conditions outdoors.

Yeah thats the real juxtaposition of this whole thing. I'm sure for the players, the weather and being outside must remind them of growing up and learning the game on ponds and outdoor rinks, so there has to be a nostalgic element to it all. But the importance and sheer scale of the game shouldn't be held in these conditions.

The Americans jerseys look like football uniforms. They are (frank)ing hideous.

Yup, apparently they rearranged the groups to make sure they would face off. Would have made more sense to leave Canada/US in different groupings and have this as a pre-tournament game where the stakes are lower and you hype the tournament as a whole... mightve helped ticket sales

you’re going to do it outdoors the snow makes it better IMO.

Just adds authenticity/nostalgia to the entire event.

Much better than clear skies.
