Canada's Men's Hockey team just defeated Norway 8-0 in the opening game of their Olympic conquest. In spite of their slow start, Canada did get into the habit of scoring in the second period. After pairing Iginla with Crosby and Nash in the intermission, the Flames all-star scored the opener on a one-timer assisted by the Penguins' captain with the Blue Jackets star parked in front of the net respectively. Iginla also had a great debut, scoring three goals against Norway with two on the counterattack. Goaltender Roberto Luongo started in goal and looked solid throughout the contest fending off five power play opportunities for the Norwegians.Speaking of Norway, they did skate with the Canadians for most of the game, and goaltending was strong. It's always nice to see a team play no matter what the score is. They should draw from this experience and keep their heads up; well done, Norway!
While I cringe at high-scoring, one-sided games, Canada needed to start well in these Olympics. If they can keep the scores low, reserves goals and energy, and improve with each game, then everyone in the country will be happy...Yes, I said "keep the scores low", I saw what happened in the World Juniors and in Women's Hockey; Grapes must be fuming!
