Confrontation of the four nations: Montreal gains points

And then? Are you joining in on the wave of the Four Nations Confrontation? Right now, were right in the thick of it.

And its great to see that its starting in Montreal, as all eyes in the hockey world are currently focused on the Quebec metropolis.

Whats nice is that I feel Montreal is gaining points.

Thank goodness the event didnt slip into the hands of Toronto...

For the moment, not only are people not complaining, but you can also feel that many players are really happy to be part of such an adventure in Montreal.

Once they experience the atmosphere of the games, it will be even better.

Charlie McAvoy, like many American players yesterday, spoke of hockey paradise when referring to the tournament.

But clearly, by the nature of things, he is also talking about Montreal.

The Canadiens facilities (in Brossard and Montreal) are at the heart of the experience, after all.

On the eve of the #4Nations Face-Off, Charlie McAvoy says this is hockey heaven here.

Its also good to see that Sidney Crosby, a hockey legend, is taking the opportunity while in Quebec to pay tribute to his years in the QMJHL, wearing the colors of the Rimouski Oceanic.

The rookie of the year will now win the Sidney Crosby trophy in the QMJHL.

Maybe that will change during the national anthems...

but still.

When we look at it, its nice to see that Montreal looks good.

With an emerging Montreal Canadiens and some salary space, perhaps some players will keep fond memories of their experience.

Be careful: Im not saying a player would say no to the Panthers this summer at the expense of the Habs just because the tournament was fun.

But every little point gained to counteract the negatives of Montreal for an NHL player, that counts.

Doesnt it? In brief Speaking of the tournament.

USAs Mike Sullivan wont reveal his starting goaltender, but it would be shocking if its not Connor Hellebuyck.
