I think this gives you the whole replay:MNHockeyFan wrote:Missed the game!
Does anyone know if and when the replay will be aired?
For anyone who happens to see this NBCSN is rebroadcasting the USA/Russia game at 5PM.karl(east) wrote:...and NBCSN has some time slots for replays in the evening, too.
It wasn't just the media who had him as a bubble player. He was on the bubble for the team USA management. There was a very thorough article written for ESPN that pretty much said the biggest reason he was chosen for the team was Oshie was the one player that Dan Bylsma asked for to be on the team. He comes out of his looking brilliant.edgeless2 wrote:The laughable part of the Oshie performance was the fact that most of the media had him as a bubble pick.

Really makes you proud of the sport we love and the competitors at the top of it.

TJ is as far from a Minnesota product as you can get. Sorry
You have a way with words.elliott70 wrote:Go back to the discount store you came from.
I think if you listen to him when he talks about Warroad you get the sense that he considers himself from there. After the shootout he was interviewed and was asked about Warroad, he responded with how it was Hockeytown USA and talked about the support from the town. To me it seemed like he had a strong connection with Warroad.BlueLineSpecial wrote:So this guy gets rented by Warroad for three years, comes to the state to win a class A title, then leaves for a bitter state rival in UND and we claim him as our own and brag about it?

What does it matter where he played in college? You don't have to renounce citizenship to attend college in another state. UND is the hometown school for players in section 8 and a great hockey school. Last I checked no one is claiming Kessel or Vanek as natives, but McDonagh, Parise, & Stepan are all Minnesotans. Just ask them.BlueLineSpecial wrote:So this guy gets rented by Warroad for three years, comes to the state to win a class A title, then leaves for a bitter state rival in UND and we claim him as our own and brag about it?

Warroad wanted him, but he also wanted to be there.
No doubt some questions would be raised under today's rules based on the story (but back then it was not uncommon ... Edina did it too). But back then it was all OK.
"Booster" brings Oshie family back to Warroad, let's the family live with the booster until they find a house and dad lands a job (also assisted). It sounds like the family left Warroad not long after Oshie headed to G.F.
Kids (now adults) skating for EGF and TRF in 2005 time frame may feel differently based on the story ,,, salt in the wound or time heals - your call not mine.
Agree that Northern counties associate well with the Sioux. It is closer to most communities and does a nice job recruiting those kids.

You all can name call and babble on as much as you want about family history in Warroad. Doesn't change the fact that he was imported for hockey. End of story. And left as soon as that goal was completed. Nice little narrative for the media and the Olympics, but it's a half truth.
Glad to hear he was able to excel while at Warroad. I'm sure he got great coaching and support. Along with his probably ridiculously hard work and some god given skills he turned into a fantastic player. The story then should be about a kid who could barely make an average team's 4th line but moved to where hockey is king, and made good. But instead the story is "Olympic hero from tiny MN hockey hotbed Warroad". It's cheap journalism. I find the former to be a more compelling storyline. But everyone went with the latter.

Yes, Warroad imported someone that barely made varsity when he first arrived. Fact is, I he would have stayed in Washington, he probably wouldn't have become the hockey player he is now and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
I think the only cheap journalism taking place here is the narrative you are spreading that Warroad heavily recruited/imported some young hockey star from from a far away state. The facts don't support that story at all.BlueLineSpecial wrote:Glad to hear he was able to excel while at Warroad. I'm sure he got great coaching and support.
