Oh no I dont hate Norrena. He was just bad against Russia. I wish he would not have been!
Yeah first and last goals were weak and he did not do anything to stop the two powerplay goals...he could not move laterally. If he would have been able to move laterally, he could have had a good chance to stop them, but he left the goal completely open on both so...Its not that he should have saved them both...but he should have been able to give a better effort to do so.
Ok, I can understand your reasoning but at the same time I think it's completely unreasonable and unfair. Whole team played like **** and Norrena was one of the better players in it, and I only counted the first goal as really weak. In the last goal you could just as easily blame it on Aki Berg, who was preparing to give Norrena a lapdance instead of trying to stop the russian guy.
The thing that generally pissed me off about all the critique toward Norrena after game against Russia, is that he seems to be such a convenient spittoon. If Lehtonen played a similar game, I think most people would have just shrugged and said:"Oh well, it wasn't his fault, team didn't help him at all."
