t terrible, but considering that Canada is a lot more heavily-favored than Norway (especially in Canada, where they're heavily- favoured ), it made for a disappointing opening frame. The Canadians looked slow, like maybe they didn't realize it would take a few more strides to get where they were going, and they looked out of sync, like they had never played together before. Makes sense. They hadn't....
