Mpls/SP has hosted in past, have they not? Expand Been awhile. read the article posted on this thread today. Being close to the Canadian market is key. Played a huge factor in getting in in Grand Forks. Buffalo has the WJC next year. Next time it will be in the US will be 2022. If another city besides Buffalo is going to bid on it, I would say that Detroit has the best shot with their new arena being ready this year. Quote
Dustin Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Did a little research - The Twin Cities has never been a complete host. In both 1975 and 1982, multiple Minnesota cities hosted games, but also in both years, some games were held in Manitoba, and even Fargo (1975 only). So, there is a precedent for a multi-country host, which is the idea I wrote about yesterday, although it hasn't happened my lifetime (having been born later in 1982). Winnipeg (along with other cities in Manitoba) hosted the 1999 event. Quote
sprig Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 And Russia goes up 1-0. Can't tell which team Canadian fans favor, since they don't like either team Quote

sprig Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Looked to me like the worst period they've played in the tournament, didn't seem like a shot advantage, almost no grade a's by either team 1 Quote

A lot of outside shots and not much that challenged the Russian goalie. Quote

I may be wrong, but they weren't pretty good. I did miss a fair bit to 2 rather lengthy "tests" on cable tv. Not enough we get just the nd one, when you live on the state line, you get mn's as well And Russia goes up 2-1 on a rebound goal early in the 2nd Quote
sprig Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Goalie Parsons took a hit to the head as a Russian was going to the net. Looks like he may be ok. No penalty called (nor should it have been) Quote
Dustin Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Can't find a free link anywhere - any suggestions? Can't get to the TV until after work. Quote
sprig Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 White gives the US the lead shortly after killing a penalty. Russian goalie looking a bit shakey. 3-2 Quote

sprig Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 2nd period ends at 3-2. US dominating the end of that period Quote
