When was the last time the gold medal game did not have either the US or Canada teams? The other countries must be super pumped about that for a change.
2018 Neither US or Canada were in the Gold Medal game.

Interesting. I just looked it up. It has actually happened way more often than I expected.

Men’s hockey for sure, but women’s is another story.
February 17, 2022 at 9:45 am #2100532WJC complete restart tourney in August in Alberta…
February 17, 2022 at 12:21 pm #2100600This is in the sports section of the Star Tribune today and occurred last week during a rival HS game between Duluth Denfeld and Duluth East.
February 17, 2022 at 6:35 pm #2100743Duluth East has lost all control since Randolph was pushed out.
Parents are the worst thing to happen to youth sports.February 17, 2022 at 6:49 pm #2100745Duluth East has lost all control since Randolph was pushed out.
Parents are the worst thing to happen to youth sports.Was he pushed out or did STA just offer him more money???
February 17, 2022 at 6:55 pm #2100746He was pushed out by parents the school board and his contract was not going to be renewed.
February 18, 2022 at 11:29 am #2100877Addison is back to playing in Iowa, good sign his injury wasn’t much…

Holy crap that is hard to watch! I cant believe that was in a MN High School game and not some Canadian Junior game. Woof!

Cross check to the head plus hitting him in the head while he’s down…ya I can see why the kid has a concussion.
I don’t think you’ll see the player who is responsible for it on the ice again this season.

I wonder what the kid was penalized for? He should face a suspension at minimum that is ridiculous and nothing that kid did warranted anything remotely like that I dont think he even really touched the goalie.
February 18, 2022 at 1:13 pm #2100919Rask back on waivers today so must mean Bjugstad is ready to come back. Who comes off the 4th line when he’s ready? Personally I think Duhaime could use a couple game break. He has some really good games but overall been up and down with his play for awhile now. Normal rookie stuff that may be helped by a couple games in the press box. Need Duhaime and Sturm going 100% in the playoffs.
D pairs jumbled again. Starting to think they might look for a Jordie Benn replacement before the deadline. He’s had a couple stinkers and Deano can’t figure out where to hide him.

I agree and pairing him with anyone but Spurgeon is really a risk. Losing Dumba screwed things up a lot.

If only they had someone who slotted into Dumba’s role better…
***yes I know he is/was hurt

LOL, he’s back now so it would be nice to get him in the lineup.

That is the area of concern for me heading into playoffs honestly. One top 4 injury from making there D look messy.
With them extending Merril and Kulikov already signed it kind of blocks them going after a middle or 3-4-5 type guy at the deadline to honestly help improve that scenario and there depth. Replacing a 7th d is more or less replacing an extra warm body.
Maybe Addison get in in that scenario in the playoffs but sure would like to see him get some more reps in the NHL before that.Sturm could sit a game or two as well as Dewer can slide to the middle. But yes Bjugstad fits that role much better than Rask.
Hoping my flight lands in Florida in time for the wild game.
February 18, 2022 at 1:51 pm #2100938There will be lots of D available at the deadline and the Wild has more than enough capspace to get one… I dont see Spurgeon or Goligoski making it through the playoffs without breaking down physically…
Fourth line could be a carousel until playoffs to keep them fresh…
February 18, 2022 at 1:54 pm #2100944Guys, anyone going to address the elephant in the room of what we have been talking about here lately? LOL
DepthFebruary 18, 2022 at 2:00 pm #2100949Is tonight’s Wild game only on ESPN +?
God forbid I’m forced to listen to Ben Crymer (AKA CRYER) for the entire Gophers hockey game, if he is color commentator tonight. His famous line is ‘you young players out there….let’s use this a teaching moment’ – and only 2-3 minutes after the play – painful to listen to.
February 18, 2022 at 2:01 pm #2100951you young players out there….let’s use this a teaching moment’ – and only 2-3 minutes after the play – painful to listen to.
LOL Eddie Olczyk used to say that all the time on NBC when he did games with Emrick too. Got old real quick
February 18, 2022 at 2:03 pm #2100952Is tonight’s Wild game only on ESPN +?
Yes ESPN+ and Hulu. A-team tonight though… Buccigross, Boucher, and Kaplan.
February 18, 2022 at 2:11 pm #2100953Okay – thanks tswoboda. Was hoping BSN picked it up too. Oh well.
February 18, 2022 at 2:36 pm #2100965Yes ESPN+ and Hulu. A-team tonight though… Buccigross, Boucher, and Kaplan.
I really like Bouch, but Buccigross isnt my favorite.
February 18, 2022 at 6:21 pm #2101022WTF the last time the wild played on ESPN+ I had a dumb tv and used Roku. Now I have a smart TV and have to cast it to the TV from my phone and it costs money!? Mother fer
February 18, 2022 at 6:45 pm #2101029OK my panic is over I found my Roku so I should be fine. Phew I didn’t want to have to throw the new TV in the yard.
February 18, 2022 at 7:12 pm #2101033Wow that is ridiculous.
February 18, 2022 at 7:18 pm #2101036I really like Bouch, but Buccigross isnt my favorite.
Buccigross sounds like he’s going to have a cardiac when there’s an offsides sometimes. He does the frozen four with Melrose and it’s atrocious. Melrose knows nothing about college hockey unless a Boston school is playing.
February 18, 2022 at 7:21 pm #2101037The audio in this game in incredible! ESPN finally figured it out!
Crazy good goal by Kappy!
February 18, 2022 at 7:35 pm #2101039Our D has been very leaky the past few games….Benn going to play himself out of the lineup…
