    I don’t get it. What about the players from other countries?

    And to think

    All it took was a Microdose of mushrooms

    What a news day! I feel like I can barely keep up with everything happening.

    Seems wasted to not have the Sweden vs Finland game in Europe but I suppose players wouldn’t want to deal with such travel and it would make the scheduling difficult to fit

    An idea I dont hate. Plus maybe the 3 point system comes to the nhl for good.

  6. This league is confused on how to run allstar games… MLB and NBA figured it out, NFL acknowledges the ProBowl as a skip event

  7. Cool idea, but a full on tournament in one weekend?

    Nothing gets me more excited then the phrase “sudden death”

    No other sport even comes close to that level of excitement

    Wouldn’t be surprised to see players from outside these 4 nations to be involved in some sort of all star draft. Can’t imagine the NHL doesn’t want Draisaitl and Kucherov there at the minimum.

    They should have split Europe. Seems silly to just make it Finland and Sweden, but better than nothing.

    I would definitely watch that – not the all star game this year.

    Knowing the luck of the NHL, Sweden and Finland would probably in the finals.

    Oh goody, let’s watch players half ass it in a tourney that has no relevance with several countries not being represented.

  13. lego_mannequin

    I’d rather see a fun 3 on 3 tourney. Let players draft their teams.

    Edit: 4 v 4 because goalies.

  14. TheGreatPervSage_94

    So Pasta, Draistl , Kucherov don’t count as star players then ok

  15. Smart-Breath-1450

    3-points-system????
    They are fucking learning. LFG.

    The current Allstar game is hard to watch for a full 60 minutes. Everyone just half-assing it the whole time.

    Now we get seven games of half-assing to watch? “Yay!”

    No Russia? Clearly the four best nations are Canada, Sweden, Russia and USA.

  18. As a Czech I cried a little 🥲 and if we couldnt get full roster, for a little while we could form CZECHOSLOVAKIA again

    Bettman hates that pro international hockey is done by Olympics. So he is like I will make my own NHL Olympics and keep all the money.

    How about actually having the best players, not a representative from each team. Make it a true all stars game
