Don't ****ing jinx it:D

But we are playing amazing at the moment. A small country without their best players (Thoresen, Zucca and Grotnes, and Vikingstad has retired I think).

Cinderella story?

Wow!!! Norway won in OT against Sweden and is now leading against USA 2-0. I think nobody expected them being so strong! Really amazing but good for the tournament too!

Do alot of these Norway players play together throughout the year? seems like they know where everyone on the ice is really well.

Makes it for a tough game. When alot of other teams are thrown together. Regardless, Good job Norway so far....keep it up

A few, but more importantly their National team always has the same big core because almost all of them play in Europe.

We can still loose this one..

One shift at a time...one shot at a time..

Gotta say Tollefsen is impressive...

No they dont, but the team has spent the last 7 weeks together, with players coming in after they have finnised ther seasons throuout europe. Holøs was the last one in after lake erie got knocked out.. he didnt play against sweden

Nr 9 Holtet a former Iowa Stars.( 42pick overall in the 2002 drafts) and nr 20 bastiansen, won the swedish playoffs , bastiansen was named the mvp. so ther is some quality even thou we are lacking our 1 line from the olympics Thoresen-Vikingstad-Zuccarello

True, but a point is that there are quite a few debutants on this team because of injuries etc.
One of them being our goalie who played his first ever Norway match vs Sweden as far as i know
