      The semifinals will be the big test, especially since it's a 4:00 game on a workday. There still better be a good size crowd, though.

        Go, like I did in ‘78.

          - As someone mention earlier, Middlestat (sp?) was trying to do to much on his own. Led to some turnovers.
          - Great cycling overall, especially in the first and down the stretch.
          - Harper had his best game of the tournament, and it looked like the coaches recognized it and gave him more time. he did miss a golden opportunity to score, though.
          - I haven't seen Quinn Hughes play outside of this tournament, but I haven't seen as much from him as I thought I would.
          - Glad to see Bellows having a strong tournament. As a BU fan, I don't begrudge him for leaving for MJ - it was clear that he needed a change.
          - The play-by-play guy had some trouble matching names and numbers (for the US!) a few times...
          We were spoiled with how good Steve Mears has been on the PbP for NHL network the last five or so years.

          I haven't been impressed with Quinn Hughes at all. Whole lot of go go and not much D. He breaks the puck out the same way EVERY time.

            It'd be better from an attendance stand point if the US game was at 8 I feel. However, I do expect a pretty good Canada turnout for an 8pm semifinal vs. the Czech.

                I agree. But since the USA is host and the 4:00 semifinal is always an advantage, the host gets that game. (Had the USA not made the semis, the #1 seed left would have gotten the 4:00 game.)

                • Quinn Hughes is the youngest player in college hockey at not yet 18 years and 3 months old. If you haven't seen much of him you probably shouldn't judge him based on a handful of games against players who are, for the most, part just shy of 2 full years older than him. He has dominated international play in his age group - last summers U18 - and will dominate this tournament next year. He is absolutely electric and worth a closer follow...

Put it wherever it works. But that doesn't seem to be Buffalo this year, so I would say try some new spots.

                      And I am not familiar with the prices, but if that is a problem, then they should quit gouging people. People here in Minnesota paid through the nose for the Ryder Cup, so I think that we could fill a 19,000 seat hockey arena, at least for the games the USA is in, especially given the amount of Minnesotans on the team and how provincial we are.
                      I think this is the best point right here. It's hard to compare numbers to tournaments in 1982 and 1989 when the tournament was not even close to what it is now, even 1996 is a tough comparison. The tournament didn't even become a major event in Canada until TSN got a hold of it in 1991.

                        Great skater but much to be desired in his own end. His positioning and decision making need lots of work. Early on in the tournament, he was on the ice for nearly every goal the US gave up it seemed.

                          True. I just base my assessment by how many Canadian fans I saw stream across the border in 2011 compared to the number of American fans who attended.

                            The tournament in 1989 was basically an attempt to be Olympic tune-up event for Anchorage, 1982 was the fifth tournament ever.

                            Not a small part for sure but TSN taking the rights in 1991 and playing up the Canadian Nationalism/Holiday Event angle is why the tournament is what it is now. Canada winning five straight in the nineties at the beginning of TSN's rights run is another huge factor.

                              I actually still have an Alaska Winter Olympic shirt. My brother was in Alaska at the time, and they were selling shirts as part of their Olympic bid attempt.
