2023 World Juniors

Marriuci will have smaller ice sheet then right?

I would leave the X out of it save for perhaps the gold medal game. They could do Mariucci and Ridder which imho would be better than Target Center.

Russo hinted the X and Wild are interested

Gutsy, but I like it. The fear of course is having an over half empty 18k arena. If they price things right, it could work. Jets fans come down en masse for their games against the Wild, so a little distance from the border may not matter so much.

That leaves the secondary arena. It would likely be one of the two aforementioned Mariucci or Target Center. TRIA rink only holds 1200, I think that going too low. My personal pick in a perfect world would be the Coliseum. Hell, make it the primary. :^)

Edit: The refrigeration was removed years ago. Oh well lots of time to get it back in there!

If they truly mean Minneapolis only, I assume they would use the Target Center and Mariucci. Mariucci should be reduced to NHL size by then.

I believe competing

Interesting. That would mean either Plymouth or Yost as the second arena, so 3,500 or 5,800 capacity. Then again Buffalo did win in 2018 with a secondary arena only seating 1,800.

Combined bid or competing bids? I find Detroit a little humorous because ever since LCA opened they kept pushing the GLI further and further down the list before they effectively (or actually) kicked them out this year. On the other hand, they would get a bunch of Canadians to cross the border for the WJC that aren’t coming for college hockey.

It was a game in which Canada was likely the more talented team and was probably favored to win, even with the two goals. What is unfortunate is that the game had the makings of a classic US/Canada World Juniors game, regardless of the outcome. The fans and players were denied that, and instead we got a very forgettable game thanks to a couple of very bad calls.

[First Time, Long Time]

Just some serious bull**** in that game..

[Russell Jaslow]

Just wouldn’t be a WJC game against Canada without getting completely screwed.

Just brutal.

US up 2-1 with Bedard of course scoring for CAN.
