Assuming that best sport in the world has to be near the most popular, that's your problem.Kath wrote:Your claim is that it's the world's top sport, so you should probably have the world's support for that assertion. LOL... don't go StA on me, here.
Ah, so your opinion. That's fine, just don't claim it as fact when most of the world disagrees with you.StCapps wrote:Assuming that best sport in the world has to be near the most popular, that's your problem.Kath wrote:Your claim is that it's the world's top sport, so you should probably have the world's support for that assertion.

Who cares what the world thinks is the top sport? I care about what is the top sport in the world.
The World Cup of Hockey is the same as the Canada Cup, Canada Cup was just an NHLPA revenue generator, the World Cup of Hockey has now taken that place, I want hockey related revenue, for the players, and for Leafs nation, I don't give a fuck about the Olympics, other than bragging rights, and without best on best, bragging rights are not on the line, and if that persists, oh well.StCapps wrote:So you'd rather not have any tournament where the best of the best play on their national teams, for fifty years, just to stick it to the Olympics? Not me. If they bring back the Canada Cup, then I get it, without the Canada Cup, or it's equivalent, during those fifty years, then fuck that noise.Smitty-48 wrote:Because other than holding the title, I don't give a rats ass about the Olympics.StCapps wrote:How is that fine by you?
When is the last time you won the World Cup again? Oh, that's right, that was the year before the Leafs won their last Stanley Cup, you don't win, even at popular sports, don't kid yourself.Montegriffo wrote:No it's fine. You carry on playing your minority sports if that's the only way you can become ''world champions'' meanwhile Britain will carry on playing the sports the whole world plays and when we call ourselves ''world champions'' we will do it without irony.
The World Cup is a poor imitation of the Canada Cup, it's gimmick filled money grab, it is not a proper replacement. Would a real best on best national team tourny, please stand up.Smitty-48 wrote:The World Cup of Hockey is the same as the Canada Cup, Canada Cup was just an NHLPA revenue generator, the World Cup of Hockey has now taken that place, I want hockey related revenue, for the players, and for Leafs nation, I don't give a fuck about the Olympics, other than bragging rights, and without best on best, bragging rights are not on the line, and if that persists, oh well.
Who cares what the rest of the world thinks? Not I, it is fact, the opinion of the masses is irrelevant.Kath wrote:Ah, so your opinion.

Again, that's fine, you just can't claim it's the top sport in the world.StCapps wrote:Who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

Yes I can. I just can't claim it's the most popular sport in the world, and I never did.Kath wrote:Again, that's fine, you just can't claim it's the top sport in the world.
All I care about is hockey related revenue, all these tournaments are gimmicky, if they help boost the salary cap, I'm all for it, if the money grab is going to the IOC cutting the NHL salary cap out of the deal, then I'm out, and I won't miss it, not even for a second.StCapps wrote:The World Cup is a poor imitation of the Canada Cup, it's gimmick filled money grab, it is not a proper replacement.
