Why watch Team Cornball 1 vs. Team Cornball 2 when you can watch USA vs. Canada?
Just a day following the horrendous NBA All-Star Game that was broadcasted on TNT, an NHL analyst from the network took a jab at the China-enabling league. And boy oh boy, was it smooth and correct.
A former player in the NHL and now employed by TNT, hockey analyst Anson Carter was speaking about the matchup between the United States and Canada, and all of the excitement surrounding it. After all, not only is this another renewal of the USA-Canada rivalry, but it’s for the championship of the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

An analyst on the TNT crew, Paul Bissonate spoke about how he’s nervous as a Canadian because of how strong the Americans are looking right now. And that’s what gave Carter the green light to throw an absolute beauty of a zinger at the NBA.
“If you’re nervous, it’s good for hockey,” said Carter. “No one wants to go into a game on Thursday where you know the outcome. This isn’t the NBA.”
Ouch.

If you’re the NBA, you need to pull the trigger on an international tournament … they’re too successful not to.
