Icon48 Tier list of 4Nations Faceoff teams I'm cheering for

Tier 1: CANADA. Of course it's Canada! Who else to cheer for but my own damn country!

Tier 2: SWEDEN. Let's go Rasmus Andersson! Honestly Canada vs Sweden in the Finals would be best case scenario.

Tier 3: FINLAND. Well at least you're not USA.

Tier 4: USA. Current events recently have made me more antagonistic to America than years past.

Comment below if you're watching his tournament and your thoughts on all four teams.

I'm cheering for time to fly so that we can back to Flames games. I doubt I'll watch a minute of this tournament.

A seemingly innocuous NHL gimmick may get ugly.

This ranks just above the All Star Game for me; I'll be cheering for Rasmus and for Team Canada.

This tournament is a gimmick. It’s not like the Nagano olympics where I was getting up at 4am to watch a game. In this case if I’m near I’ll watch if not meh. Canada vs USA may be the only game worth the watch in a four team tournament.

I know obviously the political reasons why, but any international hockey tournament / challenge that doesn't include Russia can't really be taken seriously.

Not including the Czechs and the Slovakians, and a year without Putinlings. I'm just not sure what they are going for here.

I don't see this tournament being any more competitive than an all-star game. Won't watch.

To me it is not really "best on best." Four teams - does not include three of the top teams ranked by IIHF (or Russia for obvious reasons). The Swedes and Finns don't seem to have any players from European teams (only NHL players). The teams are thrown together with no time to prepare.

To me it is just an exhibition, and dry run for the Olympics.

I'm looking forward to everyone being shocked when they play these games like the all star games instead of like the Olympics.

No hitting, no backchecking, no intensity, because there's nothing on the line... should be great.

The only upside to this tournament is that there will not be an all-star game this year.
