I believe that the unusual thing about that game was that both teams
were comprised entirely of American players. I don't know if that will
ever happen again in NCAA tournament play. Since American players are
doing quite well in College hockey (witness BU), I don't think there is
a need (any longer)or benefit in schools seeking only Americans. (What
Minnesota does is for its own good.) That's why I doubt we'll ever see
another game like the above.
