seanskins Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Just wondering if any of you american folks are watching this tournament, or if any of you even know it is going on? Are any American networks carrying the games? This tournament is tied in prestige with the olympics as this also only comes along every four years. It just so happens the U.S. beat my Canadian team in 2000 and I cant help but think no one cares. Any input would be great, and to finish my post, you all should know that U.S. vs Canada just started. It is a great matchup and I highly recommend you watch. If you dont like hockey, maybe you will like it after this tourney, it is fast, smashmouth, gritty hockey. Input would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see ovechken play. There on ESPN here, this will probably be the only hockey for a while.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM_Marylander Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I will watch the Russian game on thursday, largely to get a glimpse of Ovechkin on the ice, for the little he'll play. I did watch most of the game last night. Though missed a little trying to catch the World Series of Poker too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyalligator Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I have been waiting to see some of these games for awhile especially with two caps playing on the Russian team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 As a general rule I would say most Americans do not know it is going on. I have not seen any coverage of it in the news, even on ESPN (although it is possible I missed it). Although this tournament is not the NHL, it features NHL players, and the NHL would be wise to try and generate interest in it to generate interest in the league, much as the NFL does with offseason events.
