Fanuck Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'll say it again, TSN airing the semi-finals on their 4/5th channels in favor of two last place CFL teams going through the motions is BS. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you have a semi finals game ft. Canada at 1pm . This should be 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern and being hyped up across Canada as USA is eliminated. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I can think of is that the tournament organizers want Canada to have as much rest as possible before tomorrow's gold medal game (provided that they actually win, of course).

Well then they wonder too why the stands are empty and the cheapest price is 125 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey Canada either misjudged the market or are intentionally trying to be greedy, not sure which is worse at this point.

Would have been a good way to spend a Friday night. It shows just how poorly this tournament is run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jatylo Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Fingers crossed that they win tonight. I see that some $50 seats for gold medal were just released and I was able to snag one. Now for the 3hr drive tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Was there ever a time where the WJHC was hockey in its purest form, or is that just the lie that TSN sold me? I'm glad that players get to experience the tournament. I'm also glad that the tournament appears to be a commercial failure. On top of people not wanting to give Hockey Canada more money to fund cover ups of sexual assault, I'm glad that Canadians are sending a message that there is more to life than hockey and we aren't going to be bent over a barrel by the greed of tournament organizers. I'm still enjoying watching hockey, but I'm also glad to see some failure in hopes that priorities will need to be shifted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 It should be an interesting game. Czechia probably are feeling good about themselves after beating USA, while Canada will be playing without Greig. This could be closer than their first meeting.
