Skille shovels in another pass along the goal-line and its 2-2.
Now it's interesting.

Is Vikingstad playing for Norway

why doesn't vikingstad just take on all of these teams on his own? Wouldn't that level the playing field a little?

Re: IIHF World Championships

Palmieri kicks in one of the sharp-angle shots and it stands. 2-1 Norge.

No Zuccarello or Vikingstaad makes me very sad.

They got Jack Johnson, but they couldn't con Jon Quick into making the trip?

I'm guessing he/the kings wanted him to get some rest after playing a lot of games this year.

US finally draws a pipe as the 2nd period ends.

Glad I bought the Deutschland jersey instead.

Re: IIHF World Championships

Is Zuccarello in the lineup for Norway?

Re: IIHF World Championships

Haven't seen him. Holos from the Nordiques (Avs) is there.
This team seems very well-coached in two things:
1) Taking sharp-angle, low-percentage shots into a ton of traffic.
2) Skating to the box.

USA down 0-2 to Norway. Anybody else watching this travesty in goaltending?

I get the idea behind using it as a development tournament, but it's painful watching a bunch of scrubs in USA sweaters three years in a row, even if it does help at the Olympics.
