4 Nations Face-Off is already a success with instant classics, high ratings: ‘This is what you get’
NY Post
BOSTON — The 4 Nations Face-Off is giving the NHL its moment.
As the Montreal portion of the best-on-best tournament concluded with an instant classic in Team USA’s 3-1 win over Canada, which secured their spot in Thursday’s final, it’s all anybody in the sports world seems to be talking about with the final three games set to wrap up at TD Garden in Beantown this week.
New fans are tuning in.
Everybody seems to be invested.
