What kind of drugs did the writer of this list ingest? Among other thing, I like the Latvian entry, which basically just makes fun of Latvian names and their tendency to end in the letter S.

I don’t get most of those references, thanks for explaining the Latvian one.

Some Americans (maybe a New York thing?) add ‘s’ to names where it is not currently, it drives me nuts. Like one time they had to pluralize a name and then for the rest of their lives they forget the ‘s’ was never there to begin with.

I mean I don't get the vast majority of the references, either. It's all bizarre.
 
Jaskin almost lost an eye. no call on the play, not even sure who high sticked him, but they caught the corner of his right eye with the stick. crazy luck.
 
Yeah looked like guy crossed in front of him. Not a great goal to give up early though. Let’s see how he responds.

He had no chance. Colton Parayko has all day to step into pretty much the best slap shot in the world, and there was a flash screen right in front of him. 11 of 12 saves so far. Ferraro said he's been exceedingly sharp.
 
Shesterkin settled in nicely after the goal. Keeping his team in it. Russia playing a real bad period.

This is a noted strong suit for Shesterkin - not getting fazed and be able to recover quickly,( as well as staying focused in a game even during long periods of lul.)

Russia-Canada going back-and-forth. Canada went up 3-2 but Russia answered right back.

Kane continues to have an amazing tournament, scoring again to put US back up 3-2.
