I am.
I'm all about Team Canada during the Olympics, but I see this tournament as an extra opportunity to see some exciting, top-shelf hockey. I also see the U23 team as a huge wildcard, and that's interesting to me. It's not impossible for them to win in my opinion, and I really think they're going to play to prove something.
The NHL is tops for me, but anything-can-happen hockey featuring the best players in the world in configurations that we don't even get to see at the Olympics is hugely intriguing. My hype level for the World Cup is really high.
It's like the World Juniors: it's something different, some unexpected stuff is going to happen, and I don't really care that much if my team doesn't win.
