This annual whining about the WJC being created by the TSN hype machine is one of the most ridiculous things posted on these boards (and that's saying something).
If there wasn't real interest, people wouldn't watch it. And for those of you making that claim: YOU are watching it, so what the hell are you complaining about? Are you only watching it because TSN makes you watch it? Do you not have free will?
I have been following this tournament since the days when CHL teams participated. It is a great tournament! The passion that the kids play with is so refreshing and enjoyable, that makes it some of the beat hockey available anywhere. I was absolutely ecstatic when TSN started covering it because I wanted to watch it.
If you don't enjoy it, don't watch. But please, stop with the annual "this is all TSN hype" garbage.
