The Great Canadian Choke (Norway)

[Jeremy]

I know this thread has no business in the general area, but as the proprietor of this fine establishment, I can sometimes get away with breaking the rules, especially during the Olympic season.

With that I am putting all you Canucks on notice. Don't expect to come out in Hockey tonight and breeze by with an easy win. The 6 point spread seems a bit high.

Go Norway!!!!!!! (I gotta support my heritage on this one)

Canada will score 3:1 versus Norway.

I'm expecting a game somewhere around the 10-2 mark.

However, this USA vs SUI game will be close.

Well Good luck to Norway I hope it's a good game - I like a lot of players from Norway. But I know that by tomorrow we will be looking at the standings with a smile on our face :-) With a nice big 1 in the win column
Go Canada GO EH!!!

Looking for gold in Vancouver

I predict Canada 7 - Norway 2

It doesn't matter if Canada loses in hockey, no one can match the talent of the Canadian basketball squads. Let us not forget the Montreal Expos either, a rich tradition in Canadian sports will surely balance out any hockey failures.

Hey there JD now how many games behind the Raptors are the 76ers...LOL.....

GO EXPOS GO....Wait I am a few years late

I knew the thread title here would surely get some attention. Would this be the biggest upset of these games if Norway comes out and wins?

I'm looking for a miracle similar to that of the 1980 games when the U.S. took the gold.

Can I get the red button back if Norway wins?

After even further review of this matchup, a few key headlines have stuck out that are not giving me much faith here.

"Norway a 'sacrificial lamb'?"

"Norway doesn't have an NHLer on its roster"

[Fastlane]

It would take a miracle for Norway to win this game I'm afraid, but hey, anything can happen!
Go Norway!

[Jeremy]

Agreed, Canada will probably win this. Now let's say that Canada and the U.S. meetup. I realize U.S. is still an underdog, but this will be one hell of a matchup.

My wallet will be opening up to happily let the Loonies, Toonies, Twinkies, or whatever you call your money up there happily contribute to my net worth. I will book that action all day.

And by the way, the U.S. is having a strong showing against Switzerland as I type this.

Canada 7 Norway 6

Canada already won, am I missing something?

Also Canadians will never complain that the Americans wear baggy pants
