GDT: Group F • May 7 • Norway 2, Canada 3

[Fairenough]

It's definitely a choppy stride.... but he get's to where he needs to be, and has at the very least average speed. That last goal went against everything people harp on about John Tavares.... that he can't skate, and doesn't play defense.

 

[Norwegian]

Norway play with too much respect, which makes it very easy for a sleepy Canada.

jupp, disapointing!

 

[YNWA14]

Neal is really bad. He should have dropped it back for Spezza at least he can finish.

 

[TheRealRazor]

Oh, Neal.

 

[playasRus]

Did Nor have a 10sec pp?

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Neal's lack of finish is only rivaled by Tyler Bozak.

It goes against those two points, but you also have to consider who it was against.

 

[TollefsenFan]

snufs what on earth are we doing ............ Thanx Haugen

 

[vezna*]

lol and there was some sens fan saying how norway was a threat...

 

[YNWA14]

Spezza's strength is underrated he just dropped Tollefsen.

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

lol and there was some sens fan saying how norway was a threat...

This game is far from over.

 

[syz]

Putting Nash and Neal on the same line seems.. dangerous.

 

[Davebo*]

The refs are allowing Norway to get away with a ton of interference and hooking.

 

[YNWA14]

It's ok, he was referring to me. Apparently because we're beating Norway they weren't a threat to our team going in.

You Habs fans still use the refs as an excuse in international play I see.

Yeah, they've missed a few things, but I think the officiating has been good as a whole this year. A big improvement on years past.

The refs fear us

 

[Stats01]

Canada is dominating, should be 4 or 5 nothing right now.

 

[cheerupmurray]

lol and there was some sens fan saying how norway was a threat...

Canadas forward with least points this season is Clutterbuck with 34 points in NHL.
Norways best is Olimb with 32 points in AHL.

Of course Norway is no threat, but it would have been fun to see them challenge Canada by playing at their best.

well both of ur goals was a result of huge mistakes made by our players!

 

[Wolfy*]

I don't think the Norwegians care much about this game, all that matters for them is the next one.

What surprises me is that Canada is only up two goals with one period remaining against a Norway going 50%..

 

[Glennsoe]

still plenty of time to loose 4-2 like I've bet earlier today...

It's because we've got James Neal on breakaways instead of JT. Also our powerplay which is about on par with the Leafs PP. Nonis must have brought over Keith Acton with him.

How Keith Acton has survived 2-3 coaching changes is beyond me. He must have some serious connections inside MLSE cause he's been horrible for a while now.

 

[Le Golie]

Yes, because all Canadian players are blowing past Norway skaters. Because it's easy.
