Is to me, or is the ice in this game terrible? Seems like a lot of players are losing their edge, and the puck is bouncing a ton.

A somewhat uninspired period by Canada. They must of thought beating Norway would require no effort at all.

[pens2005]

Exactly like 4 years ago.

[penny lane]

Sid and Kunitz with a good first shift.

Uninspired is the perfect word to describe that period for canada.

Don Cherry is evidently unaware there are several different nations in Scandinavia.

A lot of passes behind guys, too. It's probably to be expected in the first period of the first game these guys are playing together.

Finland,Norway.."same thing"

[SubtropicalPenguin]

Carter has missed a couple golden opportunities.

I watched 3 shifts and saw the same thing 3 times... gain the zone, shoot towards the net. No cycling, little passing.

I thought Bylsma was coaching the US, not Canada...

[Faubert5]

Pass it Shea and get out of the way.

I don't get it, I went to Norway last fall and everyone seemed tall .I believe the stats support this as well. Their team looks small.

Benn / Tavares / Bergeron is the ultimate "I wish those guys were Pens" line for me

You think the Pens could get Tavares for Despres and Chris Conner?

[MarioLives]

Olympic hockey is so much better than the nhl.

They might have to throw in Tangradi and Kennedy.

[Gaucho]

Only 2-0, but might as well be 20-0.

USA game is re-airing at 5 on NBCSN

Probably not, but if they threw in Frans Nielsen and a 2nd round pick, I could see Shero making that deal.

[Lt. Dish]

IHANAA LEIJONAT!

Olli! Olli! Olli!

Rooting for USA, Finland, and Slovakia in that order.

[Lt. Dish]

I'd love to see Norway make this a nail biter for Canada.

And LOL, there's one out of the gate in the 3rd!

[llipgh2]

Norway scores. Wow.

And NBC online cuts to an ad. Jerks.

Very Fleuryesk by Price.
