[HalbertGil*]

I cannot help but cheer for Norway.

 

[TollefsenFan]

this will be hard, but i hope we get at least 1 point!

 

[Wolfy*]

I believe the Canadians are actually a little scared of those Viking warriors, and maybe they should be

 

[edgevolution]

You've got to cheer for Norway as a neutral fan in this one. What a story that would be!

According to the Norwegian-video analysis manager Tom Jøstne have in fact Lars Erik Spets & co blocked all 95 shots from opposing players at four games.

Tollefsen will show the Canadians who we are

 

[Wolfy*]

Yeah, would be the bomb of the tournament if Norway wins. I love the spirit and energy in the Norwegian team, but Canada should fix this one.

 

[Glennsoe]

I think we can win another one...

We need a bit of luck and then some..

 

[Grabovski]

I hope they play Bernier and Dubynk half half and let Reimer rest for Sweden.

 

[Oyabun]

Heia Norge! . Normally this would seem like an uninteresting match but I think Norway has a chance this time so I'm tuning in for this one.
Scandi pride!

 

[TollefsenFan]

Im looking forward to this match. Cmon Norway show em what u got !!!! brrrrr

 

[Wolfy*]

According to the IIHF stats Haugen is now 5th among the leading goaltenders with a Sv% of 93,79. His TOI on top with 245 minutes, and he has saved 161 shots.

Not bad for a goalie without a job

[TheNextOneX]

Do not fear Norway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the spirit.

Haha.

Last year we played a carpenter.

Now a guy without job at the moment.

Next year? Then what? A stripping drag queen?

Do not fear Norway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the spirit.

Norwegians are crazy:

 

[Grabovski]

Canada will win 7-2

 

[SnackTime]

Streams???????????

 

[Glennsoe]

not a fan of the 5-3 power play...we looked like my Rangers with the hesitation...

 

[Account Terminated]

Very nice kill so far. However, that puck keeps hobbling off the Norwegian players sticks. They're having a hard time controlling the puck, which is taking away any chance of a decent shot.

 

[Glennsoe]

shots on goal so far....5-0 Norway...

 

[Account Terminated]

Bernier looking good so far.

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Bernier has been sharp so far. He may very well be the starter going forward.
