Same for me. With only four teams it's like the NHL made a half hearted effort to put on an international tournament so the result is it doesn't come anywhere close to an Olympics/Canada Cup/World Cup of Hockey tournament.
It's the little things that turn me off for it. Like... if the whole point and purpose of this tournament is to generate revenue and increase HRR... why did we decide to throw away a game and not have a 3rd place game? Why didn't we schedule this as a Saturday doubleheader in Boston?
Excited. Been waiting over 5+ years for the return of international play with NHLers. Sucks its a small made up tourney, but excited to see what these countries are cooking with now. I love international hockey

I'll probably watch at least some of it, but it isn't appointment viewing for me unless something happens that draws me in.
