Lars Østli is out with a concussion after Sjøgrens dirty hit in the first game. Morten Ask will probably play D again, and I think that Grotnes will be backup for Norway.

 

[IslesNorway]

Jonas Holøs is available.

I fear that the Norwegians will be given a thorough reality check in this one.

 

[Glennsoe]

Tollefsen played 36 minutes against Sweden...

Hope he's well rested...

He's about the only one who can match the American's in toughness...

 

[KenGuru]

No need to have huge respect for this american team. USA are missing alot of their best players and their goalies are not amongst the best either. How many of these guys played in the olympics for USA ? 1 or 2 maybe. But I guess the americans will win anyway because of they are mentally/physically stronger.
