It's interesting to see the opinions from fans on this. I wonder if it's an age breakdown. I'm old enough to remember the Olympics without NHL players very vividly, and I couldn't careless if they go to the Olympics or not. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy it if it happens, but as long as we have one best on best tourney every 4 years (World Cup is fine by me) I'd be happy.
In fact, I think I'd prefer a World Cup. Doesn't interrupt the NHL season, and gives me another event to look forward to as I'd still enjoy the Olympics without NHL Hockey.
