US starting to pressure again, so of course they completely botch a breakout and Canada leads 5-2.

Do we have to play the third place game? Seems like the biggest waste of time.

Hard to believe you'd give up a goal after (what seemed like) a five minute shift.

That is one of the things Cooley needs to work on. He has done that a few times at the U and has been burned as well.

Yep.

Hughes is a hell of a talent but he is kind of a brick at times.  The more his team gets into crunch time and needs a goal the more he seems to forget he has teammates.   if memory serves his brothers played a similar game.

He will probably score a couple now that I've ragged him.....or do that.

Congrats Canada. They were the better team tonight. USA could have won but Canada had excellent goaltending and figured out how to score.

Now, go get the bronze.

On the bright side. Chesley will be well rested and the other Gophers will get an additional 6 hours of rest by playing the early game.

I said it earlier in the tournament, for what Hughes has in offensive talent, he lacks in defense. 

He did the same thing in August during the makeup tournament. When the US got behind, he tried to make end to end rushes constantly. Wanted to do it all himself.

If you're entire dcore is going to be small offensive defenseman, then you need to get some offense out of them to make it worthwhile. Doesn't help that Canada gets to play by the NHL rulebook when they can't skate with the other team.

I hate the Canadian fans as much as the Whioux fans

Canada Hockey fans took their db fan levels to record heights after the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. All the BS of the only gold medal that matter was the Men’s Hockey gold. I compare them more to UMD and UMD fans like DHG. Win a Nat’l Championship and start really pumping your chest out while being loud and obnoxious.

Story of the game. US not responsible in their own end all night. It felt like US had a little more talent up front but Canada cashed in on their chances and we didn't.

Oh, and Hughs. Oof. Trying to do way too much instead of playing the team game. 

It pains me to say it, but Canada deserved the win tonight.

Reffing easily favored Canada. Sticks all over the US players and only a couple calls.

Better team was the U.S. tonight. Canada had a horseshoe wedged so far up their a$$. Sometimes a lucky team is better than a good team.

Looking ahead to next year, we should send Snuggerud, Chesley, Moore and Rinzel to the WJC. Cooley too if he comes back for his sophomore season. Nice contingency of Gopher guys?

I had tickets for the 1982 tournament  that was held mostly at the old Met Center. They farmed a few games out to a few other places. Pretty sure I remember the German team playing a game in New Ulm, I think there was a game either on the Range or Duluth and I believe the Canadians had a game in Winnipeg (or possibly Thunder Bay). Great Hockey.

Doing a little more digging, there were more games elsewhere in ‘82 than I recalled or maybe even realized. My ticket package was only for the Met Center games. Hell, I didn’t even get to see the last game. It was in Rochester.

By Minneapolis they probably mean St. Paul. They would need a second site however. Gotta be either Target Center or Mariucci.

Would they put the Canada pool in Detroit and USA in Minneapolis?

 

I don't think it would necessarily be at the X.  Maybe Mariucci?  Scotia Bank Center seats about 10,500.

I think Minneapolis and Detroit are two separate groups and wanting the full tourney.

Buffalo had it with a secondary arena that only holds 1800. So, drop the Target Center. Mariucci works. My personal choice would be the Coliseum. Imagine watching a game like Sweden-Finland in that barn. I’d pay an amount of money that’d likely get me a divorce to see that. ?

I'm pretty positive they took the refrigeration out of the Coliseum a couple years ago.

If Mpls. does get the bid, why not have it all on campus.  Both Mariucci and Ridder.  Even if they are in separate groups, the US and Canada can play their games along with other matchups at Mariucci. And the other matchups at Ridder.  Ridder is around 3,500 for attendance.

Liked a thousand times by me. Coliseum was my favorite rink in the state of Minnesota by a long shot. Too bad they took out the refrigeration.

Apparently Moncton and Halifax are a 3 hour drive apart so we can’t rule out Amsoil being  the second site lol

This “holding” call to negate two minutes of a major penalty power play is asinine. IIHF is honestly hard to watch.

IIHF allows for different sizes, unlike the NHL. The range is basically NHL - Olympic. So obviously Mariucci will end up right in the middle instead of one extreme. The bigger factor is probably rounding out the corners to a 24’ radius, which is in IIHF’s guidelines of 23-28.
