I love how many non-hockey people have been posting about hockey tonight and on Saturday night. Best sport in the world, and this tournament (which we all rolled our eyes at when it was announced) is creating entry points for new fans. That rules.

What truly frustrates me is so much of it now is politically charged and motivated, and the Maga idiots have now bizarrely identified the US team as theirs. Makes me sick. That's not what this tourney has ever was supposed to be about.
For me it’s the level of play. This is top tier stuff. It’s been hard for me to get up for regular season since I disowned the Blackhawks (Kyle Beach stuff), but I devour the playoffs every year because there is nothing quite like intense, high level hockey.
I still roll my eyes at it but I am glad hockey is getting more exposure. Just wish we’d stop creating meaningless tournaments just so the rich can get richer
Seen some videos from new fans just getting into the tournament but then looking for more hockey cause they are hooked and also finding the PWHL games.
