		I'll take a closer look at Frölunda's John Nyberg (born -96) who scored a goal in his first game in the senior team yesterday against Vålerenga. He's a two-way d-man with good offensive skills and a great slap shot.
		Due to technical problems lineups will be printed out in little while. With other words, we haven't gotten them yet.
		Together with Vålerenga IF these teams are having this "Gothenburg Hockey Weekend" where each team will play eachother. Frölunda HC won against Vålerenga IF with 5-1 yesterday (41-9 in the shots column) and two days ago Vålerenga lost against HC Lugano with 2-3.
		Welcome to this live report for the exhibition game between Frölunda HC (SHL) – HC Lugano (NLA). My name is Efraim Larsson and I'm looking forward to a hopefully great game.
		Welcome. Game starts at 16:00.
