2010 Olympics Live Blogging: Canada v. Norway

There Was Alot Of This On Tuesday

PRE-GAME

• NBC/MSNBC/CNBC get your programming together.  I'm here stuck watching Japan/US curling while you guys have the game on another channel.
• So much RED; looks like a Caps home game.
• My Prediction: Canada 7 Norway 0

FIRST PERIOD

• Sidney Crosby making his presence felt early.
• Drew Doughty on the PP!  Sweet!
• Norway's going to hold on here.
• Wow, 0-0.  Didn't see this coming.

SECOND PERIOD

• Norway playing with fire; 3rd straight PP for Canada.
  Jarome Iginla one-timer from the high slot from Crosby.  Doughty with the second assist.  Arena explodes.  Canada 1 Norway 0
• Flood gates are just about open.  Chris Pronger with a rocket from the blueline tipped by Dany Heatley.  Canada 2 Norway 0
• 5-on-3 for Norway.  Mike's excited.
• Mike Richards grabs the loose puck behind the net and stuffs it.  Canada 3 Norway 0
• Doughty Hip-Check.

THIRD PERIOD

• Luongo comes up big with a huge pad save and then Norway misses the open net.
• Getzlaf missed the open net on the delayed penalty and then a few seconds later backhands it in.  Canada 4 Norway 0
• Norwegian goalie change?  No matter.
• Another Canada PP.  Dany Heatley slap shot top of the left faceoff circle.  Shortside blocker side.  Boom goes the dynamite.  Canada 5 Norway 0
• All-Star Game goal except Norway's actually trying to play D.  Iginla-Crosby-Nash back to Iginla...Yikes!  Canada 6 Norway 0
• Brendan Morrow?  Give me Captain Canada.
• Another one.  Staal drives the net and Corey Perry grabs the rebound.  Canada 7 Norway 0
• Poor Norway.
• Drew Doughty with a dipsey-doodle around a dman and then the first man back in his own zone.
• Iginla with the hat trick.  Nothing wrong with his game Calgary.  Canada 8 Norway 0

MY THREE STARS

1. Jarome Iginla

2. Dany Heatley
