Screen Shots: World Cup, Jack Campbell and Borje Salming

by

Welcome back to Screen Shots, a regular THN.com feature in which we take a look at a few different hockey topics, and analyze them in mini-columns. Let’s get straight to it:

– The NHL and NHL Players’ Association announced Friday their plan to stage a World Cup of Hockey in February of 2024 was cancelled. They’re now looking at 2025 as the earliest possible year to put on the event. The league and PA gave no specific rationale as to why the tournament had to be delayed, but many observers, including this one, saw the participation of Russia, or lack thereof, as a key sticking point. That appears to be the issue that the two sides could not find a way around.
