You seem surprised!

Nope.

Wilbur, this tournament is already being hosted in Canada every other year. Any more than that is pretty much overkill. Obviously, Sweden, Finland, and Russia are the best European sites to host this event but the United States HAS to figure something out. If this gig was in St Paul in two years, I'd buy a couple of tickets today!

I guess I didn't realize that NDSU was the Duke of the great white north...if your expectation is annual trips to the NCAA tournament, good luck.

A) What was the attendance for that tournament two years ago? B) Sorry, but there is a HUGE difference between the World Juniors and the U18 tournament.

The white version is a beauty, isn't it? Glad you like it!

It sounded so nice, she said it twice...first to Woll and then to Bellows.

"The USA chants were raining down tonight."

Jersey grades (disregarding sponsor patches): USA white: A+. Don't wear anything else. Ever. Unless it's a 1980 throwback. That patch needs work though - too much clutter. Russia red: A-. Love the crest and RUSSIA spelled beneath it. Hate the thin gold sleeve stripe. Looks out of place with the thicker white and blue stripes. A fixable flaw though.

Well, they have been known to watch the NFL from time to time, so, yea...

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?

Not much of a fan budget left for medal round games after they all spent a ton of money on that outdoor preliminary round game, eh?

I bet BU can't wait to have Bellows back in their line-up! Oh, wait...

Excellent Jason Herter reference, Starman!

Whoa...I have visual evidence on the DVR rewind of a Canadian fan cheering for the USA! As rare as a Bigfoot sighting, I know, so I'm saving it.

Wow Bellows!

Is that Fox? His last shift was brutal.

Equally as bad as the 5:00 US power play...

@UNDSioux23 your jersey is in the mail!

Terrible 5:00 power play by North Da-, er, team USA...

I hate to stick up for Bellows but that was a pretty ticky-tack call...

"Not that I want you boys to panic...but someone is headed to Siberia if we lose this game!"

1-1 the hockey team formerly known as the Soviet Union ties it.
