Nice to see international hockey back. I've had some criticisms of the tournament before but it is growing on me.
I am actually starting to like the idea of Team Europe as it reminds me of the West Indies cricket team. There are a bunch of countries that on their own could not compete but are a force when combined. Hopefully this tournament gives a European team some traction. It would have to be a voluntary combination of the federations though and not something forced by the NHL.
