World Cup of Hockey

[screaming_emu]

I've made an effort to watch most of the games, but I usually fall asleep before the end of the 2nd period and miss around 4 to 5 of the goals

From what I hear, we're doing what we do best - Go Canada!

Yeah, that's what I did pretty much every game I watched during last year's playoffs.

Very true, but the Canada Cup was different. It had a different trophy, and teams like Slovakia, Russia, Sweden, Finland, etc. were not in the tournament. If the Canada Cup was still around today, I would watch every game.

Does anybody think it's a bit boring? I just can't get excited about it! It's too new. Plus the US sucks. I mean, the trophy that the champion gets was just built this year. At least the Stanley Cup has some history behind. Isn't it the oldest trophy in sports? I think it's close.

There is a bit of history, as the World Cup of Hockey is just the renamed Canada Cup.

I watch all the games I can get since there might be no NHL season Go Canada!

Its been a great tournament so far, its like an allstar game but the players actually have something to play for. I think its better than the NHL, especially this season Still, its hard to beat college hockey though.

I've watched all of North American pool games ESPN/ESPN2 has shown. I had to watch the Canada-Russia game on the Net Saturday night, and I missed the Russia-Slovakia game. I caught part of the Sweden-Czech Republic game as well, I've missed just about all of the European games because they come on while I'm at work. I've been somewhat disappointed by the US team, I expected a little bit more, but the way the young guys stepped up in the Slovakia game gave them some hope. It looks to be a Canada-Finland finals if I were to bet.

Anyone been watching the World Cup of Hockey? I'm still kind of unsure about it. I'm a huge hockey fan, but it's hard to get excited about a tournament that is so new. It has no history yet. I'm going to a quarterfinal game tomorrow night at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota (USA vs. Russia). I'm not too sure what to expect. I guess it may be the only pro hockey I'll see this year if there's no NHL season. What are your opinions on the World Cup of Hockey?
