Oh stop. You can like one thing more than the other without making stuff up. The tournament wasn't made by TSN but they certainly helped popularize it in the mid90s with the "drive for 5" wins in a row. Canadians ate this tournament up and most players, especially for Canada, are already drafted by the time they shine in the World Juniors.
The Spengler Cup ain't some super patriotic thing bro. Do you think Joe Thornton and Rick Nash are traitors for playing against Canada in the Spengler Cup?
