For hockey fans it will very much be as big a deal. And the people who flood the streets tend to be hockey fans.
Personally, I don't care if the World Cup will be as big a deal to non-fans in Vancouver, San Diego, and Frankfurt as the Olympics. On the ice it will be the best hockey in the world, and the tournament won't be bloated with bad teams and meaningless games the way the Olympics are.
