"VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- With labor talks having already begun on an informal basis, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and union chief Don Fehr are in favor of rebooting the World Cup of Hockey tournament and holding it every four years.

"We think the World Cup of Hockey can be a wonderful event, particularly if we don't go to the Olympics,'' Bettman said.
------------
My opinion: terribly out-of-touch statement by Bettman. Players are mad that they can't play in the Olympics. Maybe the players get behind the World Cup, but they would much rather play in the Olympics
