I would rather watch Canada win by 1 or 2 over another hockey power like Finland or Sweden than watch them beat France by a touchdown any day. The 4 Nations tournament was fantastic! I will be disappointed if we don't see a Canada vs USA game, and with the Olympic setup, that can only be the gold medal game.

This is the main argument why the NHL should have never gone to the Olympics. They already had a World Cup that achieved best on best closer to home with a better format.
