The Four Nations Face-off has been a great success for the NHL. The product on the ice is entertaining and bringing in great crowds, and the players are actually showing effort. Building on the success, Gary Bergman has announced an international schedule with NHL participation up until 2032 (2 Olympics and 2 World Cups), but is that just the commissioner looking to go out on a positive high note? Did the NHL botch the rulings on injury replacements, or was it always their intention to leave it a grey area to create further drama around the event. With the final set for Thursday night, Canada vs USA, the new era of best-on-best international hockey is officially underway!
