IMHO These teams are going to treat this tourney like a psuedo-All Star game, at least the first 2 games. If Fins or Swedes steal game one against the heavies, then I can see things tighten up a bit. USA Canada could also be a tighter game, but really can't see too many Unders...
None of the 91 or 92 players in this tourney gives a rats tits (sorry more of a tits guy than ass...) if they win or lose this. NHL hyping it up so they increase viewership, but no one can bring an argument to the table that a mid-season All Star Break tourney is more important than a Stanley Cup victory (or Olympic Gold Medal), so why would they go all out and risk injuries, etc...???
Doubt we'll have the defensive intensity of even a regular season game. Lots of Offensively minded Defensemen trying to get on the score sheet, very little dump and chase, forwards all waiting for transition rushes, the list goes on and on.
1P Over is also on my short list.
BOL to all

Bol with your plays but I totally disagree with your comment that the players neglect to care about this tournament. Each and every player cares plenty about this 4 Nations Faceoff tourney and it will show as the games progress.

these guys make millions of dollars and the only prize worth anything at this level is the Stanley Cup. This isn't Olympics or even IIHF. There's just no incentive to go all out. Respect that we agree to disagree, and nothing personal.
