20 May 2023 at 13:38 New Norwegian World Cup defeat in ice hockey The Norwegian ice hockey boys fell behind in the first period of the World Cup match against the Czech Republic and lost 0-2. Barely 13 minutes into the match, the Czech Republic took the lead through Dominik Kubalik in a five-on-three game. The Czechs increased to 2-0 towards the first break. Then Jakub Flek was last on the puck before it disappeared behind Henrik Haukeland in the Norwegian goal. Thus, a difficult task had become almost impossible for the Norwegian team. The second period ended without Norway scoring despite many Czech expulsion minutes. – The outnumbered game slows down. Then you can’t put the puck in the net with eleven minutes with one more man on the ice, said expert Ole Erik Dahlstrøm in the TV broadcast for TV 3+. The last 20 minutes progressed with Czech control, but without a goal for either team. Norway stands with four points after five games, but has a gap down to the relegation place. It holds scoreless Slovenia. The four best teams from the group get a place in the quarter-finals. Norway has not been better than number ten in the elite WC since 8th place in 2012. The Norwegian players again have matches against Canada (Monday) and Slovakia (Tuesday) in this year’s championship. It is a match where Norway will most likely not get any points. Thus, the 1-0 victory against Slovenia may appear to be the only one in this World Cup for the Norwegian team.
