Conor McDavid: Baseball's WBC is what hockey has been missing for long time
https://reurl.cc/1eK839
The World Baseball Classic final that culminated with Shohei Ohtani striking out
Mike Trout to give Japan a 3-2 win over the USA has been all the buzz on Wednes
day, and other sports are taking notice.
Conor McDavid, the 26-year-old star for the Edmonton Oilers and NHL’s leading p
oint-getter, spoke about it prior to their game against the Arizona Coyotes on W
ednesday night and believes that hockey needs to follow baseball’s footsteps.
现效力于NHL 爱德蒙顿油人的加籍球星Conor McDavid(26)
在周三出战亚利桑那土狼赛前
和媒体提到，冰球该多学学经典赛
注：
Conor McDavid拿下过两座MVP
第一座是在20岁就拿的

然后就获得球团一张Acuna合约（8yr/100M)
“I thought it was really cool,” McDavid said. “It’s what we’ve been asking
for in hockey for a long time. It’s best-on-best. Everyone has been talking abo
ut baseball, did you see Ohtani vs. Trout, and that’s what hockey’s been missi
ng for almost a decade now. That’s what we’ve been asking for.”
赞叹WBC决赛的谷鳟对决
认为这就是这十年来冰球一直缺乏的
让好手过招的国际赛事
The last time NHL players competed internationally against each other was in the
2014 Winter Olympics but professionals have since been prohibited.
上一次NHL球员出战国际赛
已经是2014年的俄罗斯索契冬季奥运

但从2018韩国平昌冬奥开始
NHL就宣布禁止旗下球员参与，是自1998年后首次缺席
2022北京冬奥一样没放人
A World Cup of Hockey was in the works for 2024 but the NHL and NHLPA announced
late last year that the “current environment is not feasible” to allow them to
host the tournament as the NHL continues to suspend all business relationships
with Russia due to the war with Ukraine.
而由NHL自己主办的冰球世界杯(World Cup of Hockey)
原本预计2024年会举行，但后来又宣布延期
原因看来是因为没办法给俄罗斯参赛(入侵乌克兰)
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman cited Russia as one of “the number of issues” th
e league was working on.
The league and players’ association is hopeful for a World Cup in 2025.
目前NHL和NHL球员工会希望冰球世界杯能在2025顺利举行
只不过NHL球员，还是有国际冰球总会办的世锦赛能打吧(?
不知Conor McDavid为啥会这样讲
NHL光这点就比MLB好很多了吧XD
MLB都不给打WBSC的赛事的
话说昨天看到2024年底12强的消息

The 2024 @WBSC Premier12 will be our next chance to see Samurai Japan in a major
tournament. The Tokyo Dome is one possible host venue. WBSC President Riccardo
Fraccari told me the tournament could consist of two 6-team groups prior to the
semifinal and final. @MLBNetwork
目前预赛规划是分成两组，一组六队
我先猜一组在台湾、另一组在墨西哥
然后复赛在日本
