go Russia!

 

[Valois]

Nice! I didn't realize Emelin was playing (thought he was injured). Looking forward to this.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Seeing how malkin outplayed us yesterday,russia should have no problems 6:0 for russia

 

[BaRClaY]

Russia 3:1 Norway

Russia is a champion!

You underrate Norway, and for Russia blow-outs are not so usual at Worlds lately. I would actually expect a closer game, smth like 4-2.

 

[Acallabeth]

This should be an easy victory, no disrespect for Norway, but we will improve with each game.

 

[Shrimper]

Hopefully Malkin get's another 3 points.

 

[gorgos]

Bruins' goalie prospect Lars Volden (19) starting today. Lars Haugen is beeing rested.

Hope for GODS sake he is wrong. If not it is

 

[russianhockey]

Hope 2 see Datsyuk on the scoreboard

 

[member 116805]

So Volden getting his debut on the national team against Russia? Hehe, interesting

 

[Systemfel]

Lineup news:

Volden is confirmed to be starting.

Tommy Kristiansen is in for Norway as MRO is scratched.

Russia is starting Varlamov again.

Kulyomin has been moved to the Datsyuk-Kuznetsov unit.

Why? Pretty resonable if you ask me. It's a long championship, and Norway need Haugen fresh and ready for the game against CZE on monday. The chance for an upset there is bigger than vs Russia.

I see ur point, but Volden hasnt been good in the SM leage (he ended up with 87% or something) and now he is supposed to stop Russia....

But hopefully im a ****ing Pejorative Slur and Roy is correct again

 

[zecke26]

no grotnes, no win. it's a norwegian hockey rule.

 

[TollefsenFan]

Hope 2 see Datsyuk on the scoreboard

Dnt worry. Im sure your goalie will score a hattrick 36 - 3 to russia

 

[TollefsenFan]

Ah the national anthem

 

[TollefsenFan]

Well another one is: no Tollefsen, no fun

 

[member 116805]

Norway totally has this!





Here is to a good, clean game. Cheers!

Volden is coming straight from his playoff-run with Jokipojat, on loan from Espoo Blues. 12 games, 1.62 GAA and a SVS% of 95.
