Shock opening
NHL star Anze Kopitar was extremely close to «direct» Slovenia to equalize when Mathias Trettenes two minute later expelled.
But it was 1st row with Holøs and Ole-Kristian Tollefsen that are not hung in the turns when Kopitar pass to January Mursak the middle zone and he equalized after just 15 seconds of the middle period. Puck right in nettaket behind Lars Haugen.

– Hideout game must continue to function. Goalkeeper game is good as it is. Five-on-five, we need to get better. We let some much there. And we must become more stable ball game. We are careless and lose the puck. There are small details, but the sloppy must away, says Patrick Thoresen considering the fight against Denmark.
