30 minutes of snooze fest, but now it might be time to get popcorn

Norway got one line that can play some. That is all.

Well - I should add the goalie of course. Solid.

Canada's NHL guys are definitely pulling their weight. The rest of the team doesn't seem up to much though. And with Covid they're not going to be getting the kind of replacements from the NHL that they usually get.

Norway might not be the pretties sight for the neutral fan, but it is very nice to see the team going through a sourly needed generational change. The 7 Ds today has an average age og 24 years, and take away Holøs it's 22,5. Used to be ten years older.

This Norwegian team definitely isn't anything special - even by Norwegian standards.

The way it is of course for a tiny hockey nation.

Only thing special is the number of debutants, and that the young D's gets a lot of responsability. Looks good for the future in my opinion.

I hope you are right. I don't see it, but you never know. I have seen worse Norwegian teams, but I certainly have seen better as well. Emilio might improve the top end - and you never know if there are some late bloomers around (or new talent coming up), but you need a couple of Zuccarelos, Thoresens etc. I don't see who that would be.

Agree on this... it was not that long ago it they were 4 d deep. Jakobsen, Trygg, Holos and Tollefson i believe.

It's a bizarre goal and I'd be pissed if I was Norway.. but I think it's good.

I think that was correct, but also the "easy" decision to make as Canada is winning this 99 out of 100 by now.
