Minnesota has the most players on its roster including Oshie. State of hockey is representing. Love it how they kept throwing him out there time after time.

Hey Pete, I don't know if you go back to the 1980 game, but Minnesota was represented then as well.
Nine of the 20 players played at the University of Minnesota:
Two more played at the U of Minnesota Duluth:
A 12th had played high school hockey in Minnesota, but went to the U of North Dakota;
and of course the coach, Herb Brooks, coached at the University of Minnesota.

I was 10 and playing hockey when USA won the gold medal in 1980. I will never forget it.

It's nice to see the U.S.A play Russia with pros on both team, not like in 1980. We one anyway. Go U.S.A.
