Long time TSN sportscaster Darren Dutchyshen passed away yesterday Wednesday May 15th. He was only 57. I remember him from TSN in the 90’s. That’s too bad, lots including myself liked when that guy was on.

Shots on goal in the second period were 15-0 for Canada. That is 2 full periods that Norway failed to register a shot on goal.
On their second shot of the game Stian Sloberg scored at to put them within one at 2:47 of the third period . Looks like Daw almost had it and batted it in himself by mistake. I figured something like that would happen. No action for so long I am shocked he didn’t fall asleep down there. The assists on the goal went to Eirik Salsten and Noah Steen.
Dylan Cozens then makes it 3-1 Canada while shorthanded on a 2 on one and used his team mate as a decoy at 6:37 of the third period. Unassisted.

Canada’s next game is against Finland on Saturday.
Austria pulled off another impressive comeback just two days after their remarkable turnaround against Canada. This time, they were trailing by only 2-0 with ample time left on the clock. Despite the odds, they clinched all three points, but it wasn’t an easy feat. Mario Huber struck early in the second period, followed by Thimo Nickl’s tying goal with just over 10 minutes left. The dramatic conclusion came when Benjamin Baumgartner scored a goal so close to the end of regulation that a replay was necessary to confirm its validity. It narrowly beat the horn, securing Austria’s victory. (MORE)
