GDT: Canada - Norway

[NyQuil]

I’m awake and watching!

Norway leads 1-0.

Krebs with some sweet moves but in general, not a lot of dangerous chances from Canada thus far.

Going to need to bring it to another gear.

Norway doing a good job getting all five guys back quickly and setting up in the defensive zone.

Lucic is hilariously big in this tournament.

 

[PWiz30]

I wonder if Norway has ever even had a lead over Canada at any IIHF event before today.

 

[jj cale]

Canada getting nothing going yet against Norways defensive work, haven't even had a real shot yet.

Very deserved 1-0 lead.

Multiple times, and even beat Canada once (2000).

They’ve beaten Canada before at this event.

 

[PWiz30]

They’ve beaten Canada before at this event.

So I'm told. I guess if there was going to be an event where Norway would beat them it would be this one.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Is Canada in trouble? Good thing they have that tie-breaker against Latvia

 

[jj cale]

Well that wasn't much of a p.p was it?

I dunno, where's the goals going to come from with this team?

We really don't go into the other teams gdts doing this stuff, you may not have noticed.

Not a great roster from the Canadians this time around which means they have to play with a lot more effort and intensity which I am not seeing.

Not even remotely surprised.

That's what is fun about cheering for the team that everyone wants to see lose.

It's ok, I take it as a compliment.

That's a good way of looking at it, I just find it such kid stuff but you're right.


still proud/relieved our fans here dont engage in that, it makes people look like a punk.

Are you really that sensitive in the morning? This is a meaningless group stage game which Canada is going to win in the end anyway.

There's always a bunch who show up for the Final if Canada makes it.

It's disappointing.

And as i was just saying.

Man you do sound like a grumpy cat. Lighten up. It's Norway - Canada for Pete's sake..

 

[NyQuil]

2-0 Norway.

I'd take a timeout here if I was Canada.

Wake up.

It's still my team man, i care.

How about just enjoying the game on it's own merits?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

This is not a good look, even though I still expect we will win.

 

[jj cale]

2-0 Norway.

I'd take a timeout here if I was Canada.

Wake up.

Definitely due for a time out.

 

[NyQuil]

Just a lot of boneheaded lazy plays all around on the part of Canada.

Just total lack of effort or concern, hard to watch.

Just total lack of effort or concern, hard to watch.

I guess it's kind of hard for a coach to go all fire and brimstone on the players when they've volunteered to be here.

 

[Old Man Jags]

Nah. Reminds me of Czech Republic - Slovenia 0-2 > 6-2. Can’t imagine Canada losing this one over the course of three periods. Norway is better than Slovenia, but not a lot.

 

[NyQuil]

Loooch!

Canada back in the game.
