Need a hockey fix. Going to the Twins game on Monday, bought tickets for the Summer Showcase too! Going to Finland vs USA Blue. Any predictions?

Um ... Twins game. They'll drive you to drink.

Twins won, USA- Blue did not. Luke Osburn was a man among boys for USA. Too bad he is going to the Badgers.

Been at both the current Twins Stadium and the Big Mushroom Stadium (as my little daughter called it).  I miss the old stadium (the Big Mushroom) for baseball.  As a family we had many fond outings there.  Not the same atmosphere at the new Twins stadium.  The little kids at the Big Mushroom are now in middle age.  Memories of Twin’s game are so much more enjoyable when you take them to a game when they are children!  Long live the memories of the Big Mushroom!!

I punted, passed, and kicked at old Met Stadium during halftime of a Rams/Vikes game as a little boy.   Was a hick from the prairie and didn't come back often, but it left a life-long impression.

I thought he looked really good too. I haven’t heard much on him but wow. Ryker Lee was another one (that I’ve actually heard a lot about) but boy was he a bit different.

Wow so Coach Gopher bob throws zellers at forward 13 and doesn’t play Swanson, Emery or Heil? Wonder what’s up there

At first I thought it was due to the USA Team Blue and USA Team White, but today's lineup vs Sweden is a weird mix of both teams (even though the lineup says it is Team Blue).

They went to one squad…Mooney is missing too though so who knows

I'd be shocked if EJ doesn't make the team. I'm guessing he's considered a lock and they want to see what they have in the other defensemen?

I know he's been paired with Hutson in the past on USA squads which seems to work out well so Hutson can roam while EJ is the safeguard defensively
