Maybe a 3 team tournament would have been a better idea
I know it is about national pride but I wonder what a rest of world team would be like, especially with the great Russian goalies and players like Draisaitl.

Pretty much this - Have the courage to ask the follow-up question,

Answer: “I don’t want to get into politics.”

So why ask any of this. If they don’t understand the booing they’re idiots and if the past decade has taught me anything it’s that you aren’t going to change the opinions of idiots.

which is as we all know a chicken shit answer - People who like to default to the keep politics out of sports approach when it's been intertwined with sports since Jesse Owens stuck it to a certain German leader all the way back in 1936 in Berlin.

Also, I'm not going to condemn anyone for booing the American anthem, I don't think it's the right approach, but I understand it. I would prefer if people remained silent. All that the booing accomplishes is ratcheting up the discourse and there's already enough of that garbage.

Just get rid of the anthems and have Pitbull sing a song. That should cover it (maybe not in Montreal though).

Replace Pitbull with Gino Vanelli, no way Gino gets booed in Montreal lol

If Gino is not available, get Corey Hart to wear his sunglasses at night.

I read Corey Hart and for some reason was thinking Corey Feldman. They should just have him sing anything as he is universally hated as a musician. Everyone would boo him no matter which song he sings.
