Which Game Will You Be Watching Tonight?

[MoneyGuy]

First year in a long time that I didn't catch WJC fever, but I also kind of hate the Oilers right now.

I'll likely start watching the Oilers game and see how long I last.

OK, we'll welcome you over to the other side at the end of the first period.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Probably the Oilers game. But cheering for the US.

 

[Stud Muffin]

I'll catch parts of both

 

[Paralyzer]

Neither. Ark Survival is calling me. My prediction: Oilers win with Sweeney pulling his hair out and going bald while Canada loses with a goal from Caleb Jones 200 feet from the net.

Did you watch the games yesterday? I was more entertained by those games than any NHL game this season.

Oilers, don't care about the TSN hype machine tournament.

What does the WJrs have to do with TSN hype? Its great hockey. Hype is avoidable.

Do you hate McDavid? He's hyped more than anything else non-Leaf related by TSN.

 

[Cawz]

The World Jrs by a landslide.

Yeah, its unfortunate but I'm way more excited for the gold medal game than the Oilers game tonight. The NHL just looks so slow after watching the kids play.

Kind of surprised about the voting to be honest. Thought it would be more even, or even leaning towards the gold medal game over a random interconference Oilers game.

 

[TheRebuild]

Yes there is. It's called not posting in a thread asking which you're going to watch.

Oilers for me.

touche'

Bolded is so damn true.

Both. One is on at 5 the other at 6.

This is how a lot of Junior games are in general.

That's what happens when there is actual structure

Yup I'm a sportsnet guy through and through and I love international hockey and the WJC so much less clutch/grab/hook/interference because the refs actually do their job.

 

[joestevens29]

The one thing about the games tonight is if you were to PVR one of them I doubt you are going to get any spoilers due to the different networks.

 

[joestevens29]

I question whether it's an officiating issue anymore or an NHL issue with them not putting a mandate on the refs to call this stuff.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Which ever i can get on line

 

[blupye*]

Not too interested in Canada this year at the WJHC. I have only watched bits here and there. Possibly because I'm still so pissed about Barzal not being an Oiler.

The Canada game will be on record, I'll be watching the Oilers chase that playoff spot.

You are right. I hated the trade from the start. If it was Hamonic, no problem. But reinhart? The #14 on Canada is much better then our #14. I think Eberle is on his way outta Edmonton

 

[BlackDogg]

Columbus game!!!

 

[Quality Oil]

Going to switch between Canada US and the CBJ WSH game. I have a feeling the Oilers game will be boring in comparison.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

It will actually be both for me since I'm going to a bar and they will no doubt be showing both.

But I'm there to watch the Canada game, with 60% of my focus going to them, so for the purposes of the poll I voted Canada.

Are you me?

Very few people would watch if it wasn't for the hype machine at TSN. Why is the tournament held in Canada every two years despite 10 countries participating? Because nobody cares, except TSN who needs eyeballs looking at their channel.

When TSN posts an article on their sight asking if winning the WJC is bigger than winning the Stanley Cup, it's a sign of the hype machine in overdrive.

Do you hate McDavid? He's hyped more than anything else non-Leaf related by TSN.

C'mon man, you're better than that question.

 

[McSomnii]

I've never cared much about the WJCs anyways, so for me, it's gonna be the Oilers game, frustrating though they may be at times.

Do you not watch the games? TSN hypes it becasue it delivers. That was fantasticly entertaining hockey. But I dont visit TSNs site very often so I dont see drival articles like that.

And its in Canada because we can sell more tickets than anywhere else. They obviously miscalculated the tickets prices for this years tourney, but the attendance record is here in Alberta a few years back, which beat out a previous tournament in Ottawa. Next year is in Buffalo, where they will have an outdoor game. No-where in Europe can compete with the attendace and advertising dollars in North America.

I've just never understood why people hate hype. Like I said, hype is avoidable. Dont click on a link asking if winning the WJC is bigger than winning the Stanley Cup if you dont like stupid articles.

McDavid is ridiculously hyped, and he also delivers. Same thing. I'm sure others are annoyed at the hype he gets.
