Is Team Norway Really That Bad?

[lunch]

getting 4 goals in the opener vs Canada

[Rich Boy]

Team canada could probably beat them by 10+ goals but effort will be huge here. Norway is garbage, I think they have only 1 or 2 NHL players

Its all effort with stacked teams like Can and USA

[NavsPicks]

My read on this game is a blowout statement game by Canada .. All the media in Canada has been talking about how Norway has given Canada scares in the past years . Players will be determined to come out firing. Canada -4.5.

USA giving a beat down to Slovakia. Expect Canada to absolutely destroy Norway.

Are you from the US or Canada? NBC or CBC should be streaming these games in HD.

yes team norway is really bad

Perhaps KHL and SHL aren't exactly NHL, but most of the norwegian roster consists of players from these leagues. That doesn't exactly make them gold medal candidates, but there's no real surprise if Canada "only" beats them with 3 or less.

It really comes chemistry and motivation for Canada. Regardless of how many guys on Norway play in the KHL, if Canada had to beat them by 5 goals or more, they always do.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

have never laid -4.5 goals in a hockey game before

[odog11]

Wow, pretty evenly matched. This international game/ice just doesn't suit Canada, gold medal futures dropping.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

unreal, Canadians looked like they were out drinking all night
wake up you hosers!

[Vortexx00]

Canada won't even win a bronze playing like this! penetrating embarrassing.. This is Norway for crying out loud..

[matt1216]

Lol and this is why the line was -4.5...... Books are laughing, again

[ZdenoK]

Don Cherry says not to worry about anything.

[Rich Boy]

Watching this is eye opening, makes you realize how BIG NHL players are. These Norway guys are tiny.

[Canukc]

The goalie for Norway played an exceptional game. Stopped 34 shots with a few good ones.
Very strange watching the goalie in the net to the bitter end. Edm. Aikins woud have him out with 4 min. left.

[Mike Huntertz]

A win is about all you can say....not if you bet it....'cept....ML

[Simon Gruber]

Norway > Oilers

[Canukc]

Norway => Oilers

50/50

[Simon Gruber]

50/50

yeah, obviously it was a joke.

All the guys in here saying Canada is in trouble are hilarous!

They started out "slow" in Vancouver. Babcock has the same approach this year as in Vancouver, the goal is to get better and be playing your best hockey entering the medal round. (You are probably saying no shit! MORON) But because there is no byes and everyone has to play in the quarters Babcock uses the Pool play to get the guys accustom to the systems and where they need to be based on game situation etc.

I played Norway +4.5 today and will take a long look at playing Austria +4.5 or the under 7
