Despite the NHL being the pinnacle of the sport of hockey, there are still some who consider it the ultimate honour to be able to represent their country and I think it sucks that the NHL is taking that opportunity away. Sure, I understand the reasons, but I also know how I would feel if I was a player in that position. I know that the legal intricacies of the situation will most likely make it impossible, but I would love to see a player (or players) give the league a giant middle finger and go play anyway.
