[GDT] Norway vs. Canada, Mens Hockey at 10 AM Mountain

[codynw]

Didn't Babcock change the lines like 173 times in 2010? Not really surprised.

Canada looks pathetic so far. Almost embarrassing.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Norway is just the faster team right now. Canada needs to get their legs going and make Norway play their game.

Happens every Olympics. Takes some time to feel comfortable

Thanks, tips

Canada looks fine, they are starting to make some passes now. Norway came out of the gates in a Blitzkrieg formation, by the end of this period it will be all figured out.

[St. Pats]

Ok waiting patiently for Canada to show their talent.

[19Yzerman19]

How about going off a bit? Someone turn on beast mode. Besides Patrice I mean.

HAHAHA How does that happen? Most obvious interference ever.

[Anduril]

Difference in skill is allowing Canada one and done chances, but need to keep up with the opposition's hustle. The Canadians will probably start to open the flood gates by the late second period.

[Komskies]

All-star game syndrome. Everybody wants to be the set-up man.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Do we really need Glen Healey doing this broadcast? CBC should have saved some money and left him at home.

[codynw]

Why is this game not 14-0 yet?

[Street Pharmacist]

And Norway is an incredibly fast team

[Huntingwhale]

The big ice surface, combined with Canada trying to play like the Harlem globetrotters is going to cause issues. I don't expect to see Canada's full power until the elimination games.

Norway is working hard and aren't intimidated. Good for them. Then again, all it will take is 1 goal from Canada and the flood gates will open.

[GreenLantern]

Norway looks like the 2013-2014 Flames, surprising energy out of the gate, but eventually it all comes back to reality :P

[bubbsy]

heard the game plan for the canadians was to "push the pace" and play the north/south game as fast as possible.

So far norway has acheived that goal far better.

[sureLoss]

Keith and Doughty now playing together

[troutman]

Bad socks.

[savemedrzaius]

It seems as though Canada's hockey people are equal to Norway's hockey people?

Because 2 teams are playing. Hard work, a good structure, and good team speed can go a long way in making what should be a blowout a much closer game.
