The worst thing that could happen to the WC now would be if Russia actually won a best on best tournament. Russia is the only major hockey country left where casual hockey fans care about the WC, and that is only because they have been disappointed so many times in the big tournaments. We certainly saw in the last two years that most Finnish and Swedish hockey fans have stopped supporting the tournament (and in comparison to here the tickets were a bargain, so don't try that one).
The ticket's were not a bargain this year either, although they were somewhat cheaper than last year. Finland's games still got over million viewers on tv which was normal level and the games sold out or almost sold out Hartwall Areena. The problem was pricing of the tickets for other countries games as many stayed home instead of making the trip. Some Latvian(or Slovakian) poster said he and a bunch of other fans opted not to travel due to high ticket prices.
Please stop trying to twist/spin facts into something completely different. This isn't the first time you've been caught doing it either. Your act is getting more stale than John Cena, you need a gimmick change. Right now, this is the reaction after reading your usual IIHF related posts:
