  I don't know much about the USA team. Every player I've heard of plays for Russia or Canada
• capninsano

  I'm going to go with a 4-1 USA victory. Shouldn't be much trouble here.

  Tore Vikingstad is going to whip someone's ass......What a great name.

  All I can think of looking at the Norwegian roster is ...
  
  A Møøse once bit my sister ...
  
  No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".

  USA won't have any trouble with the Norwiegans. 5-0.

  This is a game for the US to work out some kinks and get things ready for the big game on Sunday.
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Lookin' sharp, for sure....Phil Kessel 2:39 into the 1st....
• End of Line

  

  Drury with a rebound. 2-0
• gorocks99

  

  Excellent! Keep it goin, boys.
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Blowout.....
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Not so fast my friend....
• gorocks99

  

  How the F do we allow Norway to score. Boo.
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Shorthanded to boot. Shows we still have a ways to go if we want to compete for Gold....
• End of Line

  

  I just wants this game to be over with, USA hasn't looked good at all.
• gorocks99

  

  At least it's 4-1 now

  Rafalski with his 2nd of the game.
  
  USA wins 6-1!
• gorocks99

  

  Well, certainly poured it on in the end. The final result isn't indicative of the game, unfortunately.
• End of Line

  

  True, this team was horrible in the 2nd and most of the 3rd.
• KnightXC1

  

  A win is a win but from how it sounds, more work needs to be done before Sunday. Good to see Rafalski get a couple of goals though. Ron Wilson better get them to limit the turnovers and play a full 60 minutes before the medal round begins or it may be a short trip.
