Looks like Norway is starting same line-up as against Germany. Lilleberg back in 1st D and Holm taking Østby's 7d spot. Was hoping for some changes, but we'll see. Not great hopes for an upset, but this WC has it all.

Edit: Artnzen in goal. My hopes just got a bit higher.

yeah if they had zuccarello and thoresen. norway dont have enough firepower. keeping the game 0-0 is always hard but its what they have to strive for and hope for.

[Zub]

More beer league hockey. Starting to blame the coach

 

[Jussi]

Ohtamaa 1-1!

Any impressions regarding the guys making their debuts for these champs for Finland?

 

[mattihp]

Atte is our unexpected sniper this year.

 

[Caffeine]

Boring game

 

[Lambo]

Very bad hockey.

 

[mattihp]

Whqt kind of bad hockey? No one going for the goal or just sloppy?

 

[Zub]

From the little i saw still low IQ shots from far out and 0 creativity, shouldn't be the case vs a team like Norway even with a team like this. This is all on Jalonen, but also the defence is pisspoor when it comes to anything else other than mediecore defense.

The pace is very low and sloppy play overall.

Jalonen can do really well with a bad squad, but I guess he needs to work the team together more to get them to gel..

Maybe another upset?

The referee should have given Finland two penalties but he didn't, one for the tripping on Lesund and one for the cross-checking that injured Espeland.

Those long shifts with Finland in our zone is making trouble for us. We have to break up the game more, and push them away when they block our goalie's wiev. But close game so far.

 

[king89]

I think we will come out flying tho in the second, angry Jalonen effect.

Can he get angry against Norway?

 

[king89]

Can he get angry against Norway?

If not he then the pride most kick in.

First game im able to watch. So was it THIS bad in the first two? Also did they increase the amount of powerbrakes this year? I remember it was 2per period last time.
