WJC: 2015 U18 World Championship

[Arthur]

Third powerplay goal!

 

[Namejs]

Relax, by now Latvia has scored 4 against Canada. Not bad at all.

The meltdown in the 2nd period was unacceptable. You don't concede 6 goals in 6 minutes even against Canada. If it wasn't for that mental lapse, the game could've actually been a lot closer, so it's perfectly reasonable for Latvian fans to be upset about it.

I see your point, but at least we didn't lose this game already in dressing room before the game as our U20 team usually does against powerhouses. Small positives.

 

[Namejs]

How silly (sad) is that Mitens were already selected to play for U20 team in December. Just embarrassing selection.

I couldn't agree more. It's so painfully obvious that the kid is not good enough for this level that I'm starting to get some conspirational vibes (rich parents, nepotism?). It's just shameful.

 

[Arthur]

Holy ****, second SHG for Latvia!

 

[OscarsCards]

That was a fun game I hope the boys have saved some goals for the next games.

There's definitely some positives to be gathered from the game. Negatives as well, but that kinda goes with the lack of skill regarding this level of hockey.

All in all, 6 goals against Canada is something i will gladly accept.

How did Rubins play?

 

[ozo]

How did Rubins play?

All I can really say is that he wasn't our best or second best D-men today. As he didn't stand out offensively, it's hard to really praise anyone in a game where your team gives up 11 goals.

 

[OscarsCards]

Pass some stream on USA beating up Russia game stream.

 

[KurtSloan]

If someone can link a stream for FIN-CZE game later on (starts 20:45 Finnish time today) would be appreciated. Maybe it's televised in Czech?

There is no TV coverage of this World Championship in Czech Rep...:/

 

[Namejs]

How did Rubins play?

Rubins was solid defensively, but didn't contribute much in the offensive zone today.

I think he actually had a neutral +/- and quite a lot of playing time. So i'd say he did fine.

 

[varsaku]

I never would have expected that result for the Canada vs Latvia game. Too bad I couldn't watch the game.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Russia tied the game vs USA with SHG.

 

[ozo]

Russia leads 2:1, while trailing in shots 5:25. Crazy.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Hehe, the same old people. First Gurianov and now Zhukenov. Russia - USA 2-1 so far.

 

[kp61c]

Russia leads 2:1, while trailing in shots 5:25. Crazy.

not really, there's no skill to capitalize on their chances. so much hype around them, i expect a bit more from usa

 

[Caser]

Is that Vasilevskiy playing in Samsonov's shirt?

 

[Namejs]

not really, there's no skill to capitalize on their chances.

Russia will collapse against the US, just like Latvia did against Canada.

Actually, this game is a lot more lopsided than the Canada-Latvia game.

 

[Jussi]

FIN-CZE tied 1-1.

 

[ozo]

And not Russia who has seven shots after two periods? Great work on scoring two goals on two chances, but that's not good enough from a hockey superpower team.

 

[kp61c]

Russia will collapse against the US, just like Latvia did against Canada.

Actually, this game is a lot more lopsided than the Canada-Latvia game.

yeah, russia = latvia now, maybe in your dreams only.

 

[ozo]

Actually, this game is a lot more lopsided than the Canada-Latvia game.

For what its worth, USA is a lot better team than Canada in this tournament. Currently and historically.

 

[kp61c]

yeah, so much for collapsing. damn, that was a huge blow for me moneywise. so many chances and just one goal, sick

FIN-CZE tied 1-1.

Where do you see the game or the live stats?
