    Welcome. Game starts at 20:05.
     
    This live text coverage is produced by www.championshockeyleague.net.
     
    Hi. Welcome to today’s game between Vålerenga and Färjestad. This is the last game in group B. Vålerenga is still standing with zero points, but Färjestad still got a small chance to make trough to further play. Vienna Capitals won yesterday’s game against ZSC Lions Zurich, and ended up as the winner of group B.
     
    If Färjestad is going to be able to play any more games in this season’s Champions hockey league, they would have to take all three points against Vålerenga. Then they can only hope to be one of the five best teams to be second best in their groups. With that in mind, the Swedish team will go out on the ice at Jordal, ready to give all they got to for those points.
     
    Vålerenga has so far not taken a single point in CHL. The first four games they played, against ZSC Lions Zurich and Vienna Capitals, Vålerenga played with only three lineups. The last game against Färjestad was the first game playing with a full team. The Norwegian team feels they disserves better than to end up with zero point, so they will not show any respect for their Swedish neighbors in their last game.
     
    By the way, Färjestad is known in Norway as the Norwegian team in SHL, because their history of having Norwegian players. And that means that there is a lot of prestige for the team from Oslo in beating them. The last game in the group can only be expected to be good entertainment.
     
    Just to be clear. After all games ended last night, the resaults became a fact that also Färjestad is out of this seasons CHL. Even if they end up with three pionts to day, it will not be enough to be one of the best five twoers.

    Vålerenga Oslo: Soeberg (Jensen) – Hilt-Jorgensen, Bonsaksen, Braeck, Follestad-Johansen, Espeland, Csiszar, Lyngset – Knutsen, Gunnarson, Stene – Juell, Karterud, Ask – Broems, Olsen, Lindstrom – Salsten, Hoel, Olsen.

    First periode was a calm periode. VIF seeks their first points in CHL. They'll have to step up in the second. A group of fans from Sweden has taken the trip to Oslo, so maybe FBK will put on a show for them as well. Anything can happend with, at least, 40 minutes left of hockey to play.
