1 Trivia:
t0m 13. Written, 50 to 200+ words. National Rivalry Which team do you see as your main rival in either IIHF or WJC? Maybe it is the closest neighboring country or someone who you have met in the playoffs countless times? Or maybe your team got split for WJC and you now have eternal hatred for the other team or the other way around, did your teams get merged and you want to show to your old partners in IIHF why they were bringing you down? Do you think that most of your team agrees with your pick or is it for more personal reasons? In the world, few rivalries are as intense as that between Norway and Sweden. This rivalry has deep roots, extending into a historical and cultural context. As a member of Norway's national team, Tom Pedersen feels this rivalry acutely. The competition against Sweden isn't just about winning games. It is about national pride and proving that Norway can stand toe-to-toe with their more storied neighbours. Historically, Sweden has often overshadowed Norway in many arenas, including hockey. The Swedes' success in international tournaments and their numerous NHL stars have always been a point of contention. For Norwegian players like Tom, every match against Sweden is a chance to challenge this dominance and make a statement. The rivalry is felt by the entire Norwegian team, not just Tom. It's a shared sentiment rooted in a desire to outperform their neighbours and earn respect on the international stage. The games are always fierce, with both teams bringing their best to the ice. The atmosphere is electric, and the stakes are high. For Tom Pedersen, beating Sweden is about more than just a win in the record books. It's a personal and national triumph. It's about showing that Norway, too, can produce top-tier hockey talent and that they are a force to be reckoned with. The rivalry with Sweden brings out the best in the Norwegian team, fueling their drive and passion every time they face off against their historic foes. Words: 237 (4 TPE) 14. Written, 50 to 200+ words.- The Procrastinator Special! Looks like [TEAM] won Season 77! Who won and why? What could the other team have done differently to change the result? What was your favorite part of the series? I am sure the best team will win in the end. It is quite rare that a less good team wins in a best of seven contest. It might happen now and then for some reason, but it is highly unlikely. Not like in European football where tactics can win one game now and then, but not in a best of seven contest. So congratulations [TEAM] with winning the buckle. Hope you enjoy it.
