Norway -- The Norwegians have found bright spots in both of their Group A games so far, holding the powerful Canadians without a goal for the first 22 minutes of their game on Tuesday. Thursday, it was merely a 3-1 deficit against the Americans with 6 minutes remaining in the game, before a late three-goal outburst made the scoreline seem more unseemly than it was. But the time for moral victories is gone. This is a game the Norwegians can entertain thoughts of winning. It will require their best game of the tournament by far, and it will be interesting to see if the Norwegians have any gas left in the tank. Mats Zuccarello Aasen was their most dangerous offensive player Thursday and Tollefsen added some sandpaper on D in his first appearance of these Olympics.
Switzerland -- The Swiss have done everything but win in their first two games, pushing the Canadians to a shootout and scaring the Americans, as well, before falling 3-1. Switzerland feels confident it can take this game against Norway, but they know they will be forced to play differently against the defense-first Norwegians. "Norway will present different challenges for us," Swiss coach Ralph Krueger said.
