[Eye of Ra]

I think Italy takes it.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

1-0! Beautiful goal!

Would be shocked if we lost this game, even if are missing 5 of our best players, which is very crucial for a small hockey nation like Norway.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Oh my god, what a goal by Ask. 2-0!

 

[AwesomePanthers]

What the **** refs? Ask gets hit after the goal and is lying down. And we get 2 minutes for roughing? Get your head out of your ass. Should have been a powerplay for us, instead we are shorthanded.

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

How in the hell could they NOT call Sullivan for that one? If not something more serious then give him least a minor penalty!

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Lol. Italian dude throws up the elbow, head the principal point of contact, injury on the play. And they only call the rough the other way. That was bad.

Bad is when you overlook a call, but a play were the wrong team gets the PP is freakin' awful.

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

At least we got to listen to all of "Heia Norge å å"... the best goal song in history!

Horrible - even the non-Italian imports are diving!!

They were right to call the rough (by iihf standards anyway). Should have been a four on four

The call on Skrøder was fair enough - roughing is roughing - but when Sullivan doesn't even get a minor, then something is wrong with the referees...

 

[heutZe]

I love watching Mathis Olimb glide past the first defender when entering the zone. He makes it look almost effortless.

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

At least good to see that Ask is back!

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Yeah, completely agree. Such an underrated player. I agree with the announcers, he is NHL material.

 

[Exarz]

What's up with Italy's jerseys? They've put the letters in blue as well?

 

[Exarz]

Nice goal by Bastiansen! And what a pass!

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Oh my goodness what a pass by Olimb.. so much sauce!

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

Basse!!!! And great pass by Olimb as well!

 

[Exarz]

.. And Norway wins it!

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Decent game, and Haugen gets the shutout. Not really the toughest matchup..

 

[TollefsenFan]

Great win Still i think this wc will be painful to watch

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

Well, considering the absence of our top players, just staying in the Elite Division is a success. We come far by beating the elevator team Italy, but to be safe we should defeat (or at least steal a point from) either Denmark or France.

Should beat France, and play close with Denmark. Denmark is icing a much better team this year, and we are missing our best players, but it feels like we got their numbers the last years.

I don't see a game where we can't get a point, even against Canada with the way they played the first game.
