I admit that the two gimmicky teams are annoying, and I'd have preferred they stuck to the traditional six teams.
However, some of the best hockey I've watched in my life was the the Canada/World Cup, so I'm not as dismissive of the tournament as the people who've only ever watched Olympics are. And personally, I'm glad there won't be 6 crap teams in the tournament and a bunch of exhibition-quality games at the outset. I have no doubt that the quality of play, from the opening whistle of the first game, will be better than the Olympics.
