Gaudreau certainly. Anyone else?

McDavid?
Just the fact there are players playing against their own countries rubs me the wrong way.
I don't understand how there is a group of people on here angry that some people aren't as equally excited as they are. I'll watch with a degree of interest, but I'd also watch the Spengler Cup if it was played in September. It's getting to that time of year when I'm jonsin for hockey.
But -especially in Canada- there is always a certain degree of excitement that comes when our best players are going out there battling for true international supremacy. And this tournament just isn't the same. It feels gimmicky. It's not whining, it's just calling it what it is. The fact a large group of people here feel they'd rather see Flames sitting it out as to not get injured just speaks further to that.
If there are those here who are super excited, that's great. There's no need to feel diminished because some aren't viewing it with the same level of excitement and interest.
