- Thread starter Namejs

Yup, meaning the Latvian U18 WJC team should be actually competitive and not in a flukey way.Congrats Latvia ! Even more impressive is this result is achieved with 6 U18 players !
Of course. Obviously, the main story throughout the day in all sports media, but also headlines in all major news media.
This is how the main page of the largest news medium delfi.lv looks like right now.
'Ted is proud'.
WJC is pretty big in Latvia, but not quite close to World Champs or Olympics. Most obviously read the news in the morning, but they are broadcasting all the games live with thousands of fans staying up until 5 am.

I think the fact that Latvia has a bunch of very legit prospects for 2025, 2026, and 2027 on this team and they might be a team that can pull off more than a fluke win as those players get older has been undercovered. This isn’t Kazakhstan or Germany level talent this year on the team. There might be 2-3 future NHL’ers.
Naudins looked solid. His first point at the WJC. I would play him against Germany. There was no way of telling he just turned 16.
The entire team looked solid.
It's hard to single out anyone for not being up to par. If anything, Uljanskis has given the puck away a few too many times. That early US goal was on him. He needs to clean up his game at his own end.
