RICHMOND, Va. -- It’s been awhile since we saw a meaningful international tournament with NHL participants. These events, whether part of the Olympic Games or the World Cup of Hockey, often seem like a bad idea, rife with opportunities for scheduling disruption and needless injury … at least, until the games begin, at which time the excitement of a short tourney with national pride on the line completely takes over.
