I'm scared, it has been a while since someone pulled an upset against us.

 

[kary]

OMG the productivity ... Canada would lead 3:0 if they had shots like that.

 

[czechmate]

What an awful first period.

 

[ViD]

2 periods in the books and only 3 replies here?

Must be an exciting game

I don't know why the Czechs are playing this bad, maybe due to underestimation of the opponent paired with some arrogance?

 

[tade]

This is so ****ing terrible. Oh god. I havent seen such a stupid game in years. Hate to play this Norway team, always the same ****..they do nothing offensively, they are only trying to break the plays.

On top of that, we lack any speed, we dont have drive in this game, our passes are incredibly sloppy, icing after icing...

 

[Belizarius]

Norway has 3 shots in 1st and 2 in second.
Boring team... not a lot of offense either in last games...

 

[czechmate]

It is that bad that if they don't step up their game after this one, they deserve to be sent home after the group games.

No concept; players look completely disoriented:
- Sloppy passes
- Slow skating
- No physical play

 

[Hemsky001]

This match hurts my eyes.

 

[Urbanskog]

Just one Big Six team advancing from Group B would be pretty cool.

And this despite 3x Powerplay!

This game hurts just by looking at ghe scoresheet. Hope it looks better for the live viewers..

From a Swiss perspective, PLEASE end this one in regulation, points for norway would be bad.

No, we're asleep. If not for a few czech fans, we would all be snoring.

norway had 4 pp ... the referees are favoring them, there has been so many situations where norway could have taken a penalty, but we are the only ones taking them. Still we dont deserve to win playing like this (neither does norway since they don't even try to create something ... i wish both teams could get 0 points from this game).

 

[ViD]

0-0 going to OT?

 

[Havre]

Norway got one line that can play some hockey. The rest are there to defend. Boring for everyone except the Norwegians of course.

Impressed by the discipline they have showed.

 

[swiftwin]

pathetic

 

[Babula]

refs fall asleep as well

How are the referees favoring Norway? Are we even watching the same game? Did you just see that interference by Czech #79 ?

Offensive zone time in the 2nd and 3rd period has been way more even than the shots and Norway has had the biggest chanses in the game.

For a small hockey-nation playing against a heavily favored opponent I think we are playing a great game.

 

[Martian]

I've not seen such a boring game for very long time

 

[that is unfortunate]

Norway defense consists of holding and slashing, almost as if the refs weren't there.

You had some chances here and there but no way you were the better team, for all those puck blocking scenes in those corners.

If it wasn't for our occasional incompetence to play decent hockey this game wouldn't have gone to overtime! ******* terrible performance!

 

[tade]

LOL this game. I want my time back. Winning goal just sums up the whole game. Ugly & boring.

 

[KurtSloan]

good two points after scary performance..without passion, energy, scoring oporttunities..very disappointed, hope tommorow's game will be better

I guess we were not watching the same game then, i saw some holding/hooking/slashing all the time (from both teams, but more from norway and we were also much more likely to take a penalty for that...). You had some big chances, but so did we (about the same amount of big chances) and we had a lot more of other "normal" chances.
But in the end its as I said - I wish both teams could get 0 points after this. Norway didn't even try to create anything outside of pp, just trying to break our game. And we were totally unable to adjust, slow and imprecise... **** poor excuse for a hockey match.
