As long as a score is recorded then these NHL-World “teams” will certainly put in some kind of effort – and that is what the NHL is banking on. They hope that players (and fans) forget the artificial construction of this marketing event and think instead about the flag stitched on the front of the jerseys.
All except “Team Europe” and “Team North America” — it would be a disaster for the NHL’s World Cup of Hockey if one of those phony teams won this thing. Best not to think about that.
But I’ve got my chant going already: “Go Team Europe! Go Team North America!”
