The atmosphere has sounded awesome all tournament. IIHF and HC are both salivating about filling the 22,000 seat arenas in Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal.. $$$.. Next year its in Sweden.. I need to go one year.. but been saying that for ages! I don't think they did a great job selling seats in Edmonton - but the prices were extortionary. Who would pay that much to watch kids play?

I just think there are other things stealing focus in NHL cities. Paying NHL prices to watch Canada in the final, sure. I think everyone enjoyed that game last year. I just didn't see or feel a lot of interest in the tournament as a whole. Especially now that the tournament has been through every major Canadian city in the last ~15ish years because of the two year (Canada / not Canada) rotation. I hope they stay away from Canada and the northern US cities for a few years.
