Rogers and Sportsnet will have to have a talk with him about his messaging and branding.
Rogers from the Sportsnrt Central to the panel to Cuthbert and Simpson, has continually awkwardly forced the comparison to the Olympics (using "best on best") to overhype this thing for months leading up and now as much as possible the last 8 days. It simply doesn't compare no matter how much they want to wrap the flag around everyone.

None of this is wrong.
But the players certainly didn't act like it was a little tournament. And in the end it was still best on best for the 4 teams that were there.
