South Korea 2 - Norway 1 (edit: in regulation)

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Naah, Norway takes this no problem.

 

[theslatcher]

Korea needs to win this in regulation to not get relegated. Norway needs to win or go to OT to not get relegated.

4-1 Norway.

 

[Namejs]

When Denmark let Korea play their game, they gained confidence and an extra step along with it. Norway has been mediocre, slow and not very convincing throughout the entire tournament.

I think this has all the signs of a close game. Especially if Norway can't take the lead early.

 

[Urbanskog]

Less than a minute in and Korea takes the lead.

 

[RobRayzor]

Less than a minute in and Korea takes the lead.

And it's straight taken away

 

[Urbanskog]

And it's taken straight away

Boo.

 

[sytheman]

Woosang was pushed by Norwegian defensemen. How was that goaltender interference???

 

[Name Nameless]

Missed the two first minutes. Obviously a dumb thing. Now, a PP-goal after the Koreans had a very amusing to-many-men. Yes!

 

[Name Nameless]

Abyssmal. Leading 1-0 over Korea after first periode. Abyssmal. Well, at least Norway is leading.

Showing this in the intermission here. The Korean was on the Norwegian goalie before he also was pushed by a Norwegian. That's why.

 

[RobRayzor]

Koreans look too kind,not capitalizing on all those chances.

 

[Name Nameless]

Norwegian commentators very worried. "The Koreans skates better, and looks like they want to stay up".

Sadly, I can't see the game.. do they have good chances?
Is there really a possibility to turn it around? Would be one if the biggest surprises in recent history...

I don't know if Korean players lack the skill or the ice is bad. I mean Korean dude went 1 on 1 vs goalie and he lost the puck, tho he recovered it and hit the post. And there's the disallowed goal too. + some other chances,but i've already forgotten what they looked like

 

[Name Nameless]

Norwegian commentators: "This is our worst periode in the championship. Now we finally are allowed to have the puck a lot, and then it's possible to make mistakes. And we make mistakes." Really Norwegian positivity here

(edited for clarity).

 

[Name Nameless]

Still 1 - 0 after the second periode. Some Norwegian dancing around the goal in the last minutes, no reward.

 

[Namejs]

I saw some Div1A and Div1B games a few weeks ago, and the quality and speed of this game resembles that level of hockey.

Apart from the Norwegian top line, everyone is as slow as molasses and the passes never seem to connect. Seriously, this is one of the worst games of hockey I've seen in the top tier.

 

[RobRayzor]

Petter Thoresen looked so calm on bench, i wonder is he will "lose it" in the locker.

 

[BalticWarrior]

I dont want to see Korea in the Elite divison. They dont belong here.

 

[Name Nameless]

2 - 0. Bastiansens goal, even if someone else scored it. Finally some insurance. Let's hear the Norwegians sing "Seiern er vår" soon.

 

[Name Nameless]

3 -0 on PP after the Koreans put the puck over the plexi. Should be pretty much over now. Finally.

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

I'll be happy if either Kim or Lee scores a goal. Makes good for a confidence and to the growth of the game.

Like a synthetized fertilizer for a daffodil.

 

[Name Nameless]

3 - 0 final. South Korea is relegated. Norway hopes for better times, next year.
