If they can make it happen the rosters look amazing

Canada’s back-end as a whole seems so wonky right now. No goaltending and a d-core that is great offensively, but does not have the best defensive numbers compared to team’s of the past

Norway does NOT look forward to 2026..

They’ll pull out.

It’s looking like it.
That best on best will have so much parity.

Honestly? Unless it’s moved to the summer games, the value to the sport gained by the tournament isn’t worth shutting down the season for three weeks.
It either needs to be moved to the summer or the NHL and PA need to sit down and get serious about a World Cup every 4 years, working WITH the IIHF for qualifying
I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion, but while international tournaments are great and the fact McDavid and others have NEVER played on their national team in a tournament like this, the NHL is right in pushing back over shutting down the league as there’s shown to be no benefit to NHL business when the tournament is outside of North America.

Do it so we can finally show everyone first hand how Matthews handles important games by utterly disappearing. Canada – Gold. USA -4th.

I pray that it will happen, and that Crosby will still be playing. I just want to see Crosby and McDavid together so bad.

I still don’t know why they can’t just make the World Cup of Hockey happen.
Man, the NHL and NHLPA suck ass!

I hope it happens but Bettman and the owners will probably be dicks about it. USA will have the best roster we’ve ever had.
