I, for one, will always be looking forward to it. It is still pretty much 'best on best' anyways, and hey - it is hockey! Heck, at that time, I will watch just about any hockey at any level available. Go ahead, stream your beer league games, and I may end up watching it by that time.
What I am looking forward to is the Euro-team. Lots of quality players that you would never see at the Olympics. Was hoping for additional players you never see at all in different countries, but at least guys like Kopitar have a chance to show up and play something on the international stage and help represent his country in a way. Will be something to see anyways, and that is better than nothing at all, regardless of how gimmicky it may or may not be.
