Canada 8 - Norway 2
|
|
by Alan Adams HALIFAX – Derek Roy scored two of his three goals in a span of 2:42 late in the second period to turn a
close 3-2 game into a 5-2 runaway to help Canada to an 8-2 quarterfinal victory over Norway on Wednesday and
set up a semi-final date with Sweden at the 2008 IIHF World Championship. But the Canadians kept coming in waves and wore down their opponents, controlling the play for much, if
not all, of the second half of the game. |
