Pricing and domination by better teams when they play Belarus, Denmark, Switzerland etc. Unless there is someone on the team you really want to see live--a player highly drafted by your favourite nhl team, or a highly regarded young star you might draft--watch it on tv.

There were no bad teams when the attendance was good? Many were worse than this. Pricing and market saturation are the problem, not the blowouts. They've always been part of the package.

I would totally give the backup goalie of Switzerland the nickname "crackers".

Get it? Ritz

TimmAyyy.

 

[Ivan13]

Baby Avs killing it.

 

[Statsy]

Kinda thought four on four wasn't going to be good for the Swiss.

 

[Captain Bowie]

People working
Prices are insane.
Lack of top-end superstar

Pretty much agree with these 3 points.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That sure looked like a goal lol

 

[Emerz]

Wait a second lol that was a goal...

 

[Alerion]

That sure looked like a goal lol

The puck was definitely in before the whistle but can it be a goal when Hart is knocked into the net like that?

I wasn't pointing out they must have th same opinion etc. I merely stated it was interesting how two guys from the same network telecast have two very differing opinions.

That's not often seen with the TSN WJC crew.

Yes it is. And just because people work for the same broadcast doesn't mean thry have to have the same opinions on every subject.

Just look no further then nbc with roenick and milbury. Those 2 are as opposite as 2 people can be.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

That was total GI, so it shouldn't count anyway.

 

[El Travo]

Adam in the house!

 

[Dominance]

Weakest call of the tournament?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Oh my that is one weak call lol

 

[El Travo]

That's an interesting penalty to call to say the least.

Except had you read my post you'd see I wasn't speaking of the NBC guys I was specifically talking about TSN.

Thank you for your contribution though.

 

[Alerion]

not too sure about that one. Glad it's not a close game.

Canada is dominating, the swiss coach was right

Tsn is no different. There is plenty of times in every broadcast that the analysts do not agree with each other or have way different opinions.

I see the Avalanche logo behind that beautiful face, nice profile pic

What's up with attendance? Even Canada isnt getting many fans. Ticket prices? Lack of interest? Other?

I'd like to see one in the NYC/NJ area. Already tons of tourists in NYC and much more of a destination city than Buffalo. Plus you can play some games at the Prudential center(easy train ride for people staying in NYC) I'm curious to see how it would do and it certainly wouldn't draw any less than this has so far.

Canada is getting decent numbers, there are here - 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships - Wikipedia

Yeah, I mean if I'm going to spend a lot of money to go to one of these events I'm 100% picking a tourist destination. Definitely wouldn't go to buffalo.

Cold snap, workday afternoon game, blizzard today, and I read somewhere there's like a 75 car pile up around Buffalo.

Cold snap? Where I live, that's T-shirt weather. We don't even start thinking about cancelling peewee games until it hits -35.
