GDT: Group B • Feb. 13 • Canada vs. Norway • Part I

[Lebowski]

Shea Weber is almost Douglas Murray kind of slow. Might not matter much against Norway, but it may be a different story against the big guns.

Keith and Doughty looked good. The rest of the defensemen were rather average.

Carter should just sit. Utterly useless on the first line, not that it should sound surprising to anyone.

Price is playing a calm, confident game.

RIP in peace Canada, unless you quietly come roaring back in the 2nd.

 

[Sweden]

#21 Morten Ask almost scored for Norway in the replays, by tunnel

 

[Correspondant]

No discipline shown in Canada team, first 6 to 7 minutes very poor game. On the other hand, Norway is playing nice, simple and plain good hockey.

Wonder why Tollefsen never got a fair chance in the NHL, he's like a tank out there.

He had a few..couldn't stay healthy.

he played is balls off for the Flyers.

 

[Pi]

Why does our team look so slow compared to USA...

Kessel, Kane, Parise, Kesler took advantage of their speed and got into the zone WITH the puck.

We just dumped the puck and didn't even forecheck hard.

Changing my prediction to a 5-3 win for Canada...they aren't going to blowout Norway with 9 shots a period.

Tweet of the game so far

You don't watch many habs games do you

 

[McspOiler]

Doughty looks the best so far imo best first pass.

 

[Starbuds]

@BobMcKenzie Russia has had sickly children coughing on Canadian bedsheets during every room cleaning. #FixIsIn

Canada and Norway were tied after the first in Vancouver as well, but shots were 14-4 Canada.. so far today, 9-8 Canada

Well, in other news, that Japanese guy just knocked it out of the park in figure skating.

 

[crederer]

Canada needs to commit to a rebuild

bahaha.

Jesus. Canada out shot Norway. People need to relax. Grapes isn't worried, you shouldn't be either.

AS a Pens fan, I was left dumbfounded by the Kunitz selection. If he was on any other NHL team, he would most likely be a third liner at this point in his career.

Kunitz > Giroux B cuz kemiztree

 

[Tunez33]

anyone have any links? i can't use the cbc one

 

[Hagged]

Oh definitely. But what if we played Finland today? Or if we were in another group and played USA or Russia? This wouldn't be good.

First period for Finland wasn't exactly the best hockey they've played despite the 4-2 score earlier today against Austria. USA or Russia would have been harder, but then again the first two periods for Russia weren't exactly goal contender material against Slovenia.

After the preliminary round you can try to make some conclusions on where teams will end up, but after the first game of the tournament you just can't. Other than the USA was the most ready team of the medal contenders. Russia and it seems Canada started the tournament slow.

Don says dont worry about a thing. IN THE BAG

Would be better if Lulongo was playing.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Grapes is right, Bergeron (and Tavares) easily best in that period

 

[Finnsane]

lol Don Cherry called the Norwegians Finns. When Ron corrected him, Don said "ah, same thing!"

Oh man, that's absolutely hilarious!! How could anyone not love this guy?!

 

[Frank the Tank]

I've never seen Canada come roaring out of the gates in the Olympics. This year appears to the same.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Giroux would have scored by now.

we need more threads based off of what Snider said. what is there? 6?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

if Hall was there it's 4-0 Canada

am I doing it right Hab fans?

 

[Tompa8989*]

Wonder why Tollefsen never got a fair chance in the NHL, he's like a tank out there.

Lol. Tollefsen is barely a top 4 defensman in SHL. He is slow but big. After the second period he will be tired as hell.

 

[sharks9]

Lmao the #1 twitter trend in Canada right now is #PricevsNOR

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

You don't watch many habs games do you

What does that have to do with anything?
