I'm not convinced the majority of the PA cares about the Olympics (otherwise they'd have never missed the last one if the majority actually cared); I don't think they care about the World Cup eitherIt’s because they want the Olympics you ****ing moron.

Well, also money. Crosby and the others gave up like 3 weeks of their off season training to play and the winning side for $100k each?It’s because they want the Olympics you ****ing moron.

Players wanted to go to the 2018 winter games but Bettman didn't let them. Theyre not gonna work for free so Bettman can make money off of them. What did he think was gonna happen.NHL owners want a World Cup in 2020 but the players dont care about it. NHLPA wants to go to the Olympics in 2022 but the Owners dont care about it.
...oh if only there was an incredibly obvious middle ground that could be reached... something that both sides could get what they want...oh I wonder...
The vast majority of players don't play in the Olympics and never will, and so have no need to "make up for not getting to play at the Olympics"It's obvious players realized the World Cup didn't and won't bring the players the kind of money that would make up for not getting to play at the Olympics. Bettman and the owners need to understand that.
Players could have gone and choose not too (unless you think there's current labor issues worthy of missing the Olympics over...I don't/didn't)Players wanted to go to the 2018 winter games but Bettman didn't let them.

I never watched either play just on principle (I watched a bit of a couple of Canada's round robin games and that's it); nobody is advocating those teams happen again that I know of (and that's a good thing!)im super excited for a potential north american u23 team taking on team europe at the next world cup...
