And yeah, of course they’re off the bandwagon…there is no bandwagon. Canada gets one more game and they’re headed home. How could a broadcaster not look at other countries and try to make sure people are interested in watching the final three weeks of the tournament?

Catch 22 isn't it? Networks don't want to show the games because of lack of interest. People don't have interest because they have to purchase a subscription service to see the games.
I get why TSN is doing this, but the point I'm trying to get at is that when the next national teams are on and the major broadcasters don't show the games and people complain that it's on a streaming service, this is why.
I just hope that when the men's team plays their next games in March that there are more people paying attention than there were in the fall of 2018. Not expecting it to have even remotely the type of interest of the last two games, but hopefully it moved the needle even a little.
