Forgive me,but with half a proper team each,what good did that game do either team ?
Either play it properly,or don't bother doing it.

They didn't charge half price for tickets did they !

It's a friendly, or a training camp as the Norwegians have been calling it. It allows both teams to induct or try out new potential regulars. Plus it was also a good, close, entertaining game, which is what competitive spectator sports are about, right?
Last night was pretty much our full GB team; all the EIHL "studs" I think. Only notable senior absences were Weaver and Lee who I think are playing tonight.
I think tonight is our B team with younger players and EPL names that the coach wants to observe. I would be surprised if we get as close as 2-1. But if last night was anything to go by, the players will play with a lot of energy and pride.

Think you may be mistaken.
Last nights team and especially tonight's are nowhere near our full team and neither were Norway.
Half the proper GB team were either injured or pulled out for a start.

I doubt we had a single line that normally plays together.

No need to charge half price iginla, the game was full value for money. Considering you 'don't give a stuff about GB hockey' iginla you still cannot help but post negative comments. Tiresome to say the least.

Just be glad Im giving you the benefit of my opinion.
Or if everybody was of exactly the same view as everybody else,the cage would be extremely dull and will revert to being quiet and boring like it went for a couple of weeks recently !

Quiet and boring sounds good to me, if your overly negative opinions are the alternative.
