Despite the fact I think the world cup is gimmicky, I'm tuning in to watch the U23s because it's real HOCKEY. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey
Hockey is 5 v 5. |
Shinny is hockey. This isn't an even "get with the times" thing. Shinny is how 99% of hockey players grew to love the game of hockey. It's how a lot of hockey FANS grew to love the game of hockey.
People need to get over themselves and remember that it's a game. It's supposed to be fun. If hockey isn't fun for you or you're too busy pretending you're a "purist" then maybe it's not for you.
But hey, let's throw shade at something the NHL does for fun, for the fans, and for the kids because it's "just for money" or "not hockey."
Love the all-star game. Great to see players just having fun and putting on a highlight reel.
