I'm disgusted...
I'm listening to the radio in Vancouver, and there has been quite a bit of reaction to this article talking about the possible demise of the World Cup

The virtual reaction here is that the fans would rather have the World Cup as the pre-eminant elite hockey championships, since it does not disrupt the NHL season.
I don't think that that average Canadian understands that the Olympics reaches a far wider audience than the World Cup does, so for the expansion of hockey world-wide, the Olympics is the better platform...plus everyone is in mid-season form for the Olympics, so the hockey is better.
So the simple question I ask is: What would you rather have, the World Cup, the Olympics, or both?
