Some thoughts:
- Will this mean we actually get to watch the Spengler Cup on TV in the US for once?
- Do I have to root against them because Gadowsky is coaching?
- Another chance for people to mispronounce Davos (which usually only happens during the World Economic Forum)

Apparently they streamed last year's on YouTube for countries without a TV deal:

It's not DAH-voes? That's how I have it for 60 years. I like I can hear the whole thing in Slovak, a series of monosyllables permeated by belches and curses on Ruthenians and Sorbs. https://folklife.si.edu/images/blog/zapust-procession.jpg

It's Da-VOS, with the emphasis on the second syllable. That's the pronunciation I learned when HCD came to play in Bern, watching the Spengler Cup on Swiss TV (with Ralph Krueger doing the color commentary), and taking the train there on a Eurail trip after I'd moved to Germany.

That's also the pronunciation in Wikipedia.
