maybe you forgot how Latvia qualified for the last olympics? Down two to France and came back.

Penalty shots in a game like this are such a joke.

 

[Zamboni Parade]

My poor nerves

3on3 OT in Belarus-Slovenia was nuts. No score.

On to the shootout.

This commentator is so bad in this Belarus Slovenia game. 2 on 1 with 20 seconds to go and a massive save and he hardly raises his voice

Yea, and they always get the Saves stats wrong.
29 SOG 29 Saves in a 2-2 game. Heh.

 

[Arrhizal]

Hahahahahahaha Slovenia the dream crushers.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Congrats Slovenia!
Fun game.

Hahahahahahaha Slovenia the dream crushers.

Good.
I hate the fact that teams use so many naruralised players...
Happy for our guys.

Blowing a big sigh of relief. I couldn't take the 4 years of Belarus fans holding it over Latvian fans if they made it and Latvia didn't.

Let me just say I love Jordal Amfi, in all its wacky glory. I was in Oslo in the summer of 2013 and tried to get in to have a look around, but it was closed and the lights were off. Some nice staff opened the door to let me peer in, but that's as far as it went. No seats at one end and an almost impossible-looking grade at the other. Such a unique facility. I know that the Oslo hockey community wants to replace it, but I think it's fantastic.

As the say in Norway "World Champions in re-used Olympic Facility" as Jordal Amfi was built for the 1952 Oslo Olympics...

A new Arena will be built at the same property and will be finished around spring/summer 2018. Still some arguments about the square feet size of the building and locker rooms. Obviously the hockey team wants larger locker rooms and more space in general for other sports/offices.

Also glad that we won't see Dave Lewis hockey on the Olympics..
Lousy and boring coach with his trap systems...

 

[baronsforever]

tied!! not quite the drama of the 2006 qualifier in Riga, but still awesome

 

[Zamboni Parade]

Nice backhand by Daugavins

 

[mrkolice]

bravo slovenia! the first time it was just a lucky coincidence, +90% of "experts" said so. now it's two in a row. i'll be glad to listen, again, how lucky we were. cheerz!

 

[WayneSid9987]

Eesh. Thats another weak call.
Actually very weak considering the time in the game.
And they score.

 

[BalticWarrior]

The refs are ********. But letting reķis on PK? What did you excpect was gonna happen?

 

[serp]

The call that lead to the Latvian PP for the 2nd Latvian goal wasn't exactly strong either.

By the way for the 2nd time the Ref did not call too many man on Latvia when they clearly had 6 man out .

The Refs are very bad but they are not biased.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Anyway congrats to Germany on qualifiying , hopefully this is the straw that broke the camels back and our federations president resigns along with his cronies.
