As a Norwegian, I am so happy I will miss this as I will be at work. Norway has been very lucky to get this far. I almost always expect Russia to fall apart in tournaments nowadays, but that will not happen against Norway.

 

[Artyukhin]

I think Shipachyov comes back to this game.

 

[KA Olimb]

Good luck and god speed Norway. The most memorable for us norwegians in this game will probably be a borderline hit from Tommy Kristiansen or Lars Haugen posting an incredible performance in net while still losing 7-1.

 

[Pouchkine]

Russia 4-0

 

[Name Nameless]

Russia 4-0

Very optimistic on Norways behalf. Thank you. It would be kind.

 

[Talus]

if Russia is ever going to get a sniff at an Olympic gold medal this is the time.

 

[Del Preston]

Oilers legend Patrick Thoresen will lead Norway to the semifinals.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

GDT tunezzz.



Lets hope for a great game.

 

[Mortivore]

Please be gentle

 

[Alex K]

Good start! Keep it up

 

[Kshahdoo]

Gusev - Datsyuk - Kaprizov is the line of magicians.

 

[Havre]

Not that Norway deserve any better (arguably they didn't deserve to even go this far), but would have been interesting seeing them against the US or something in a QF. Would still lose 99 out of 100 or something, but not 100 out of 100 like against Russia.

+1

We always struggle vs technical teams who think the game much faster. Come to think of it, we usually struggle vs any team

 

[Mortivore]

Norway scores!

 

[ovikovy817]

Don't hurt out players please

 

[Kshahdoo]

Well, it was easy. Gusev with 3 points. Norwegians tried, but their skill level was 1 or 2 tiers below. Not a lot of emotions from the game.

 

[Atas2000]

You wish.

I'd prefer 2022. Without Znaroks, of course, because with him we'll never beat Canada in best vs best tournaments.

Not that I like Znarok but let's be real, in 2010 or 2014 not even Houdini would have beaten Canada

Yeah, but Canada was very beatable at the last WHC, and we should beat them, but lost in a very Znaroks manner.

[Paxton Fettel]

Seriously, as a Russian, it's hard to care about these Olympics. The level of play is soooo low. The other day I watched Edmonton vs Colorado and they looked like professionals compared to this year's amateurish Olympic athletes.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Yeah, but Canada was very beatable at the last WHC, and we should beat them, but lost in a very Znaroks manner.

Agree. We should have won that game by 3 goals.

Actually I don't like that way of doing it. It makes it impossible to watch games as a rerun/ recording while trying to read the gamethread as entertainment. Spoiling 100 %. I know, sometimes you will get spoiled, but I occascionally actually try to do that. Not here, so that's not the issue.

Did you guys see the puck hit inside the Norwegian goal once, I assume it hit the camera, and no-one noticed? Play just went on. A goal never noticed. As expected, it was enough of the Russian goals who did get noticed, but weird.
