GDT: Canada - Latvia

[Shocker]

Well, it was a trip but it was also an embellishment after the Latvian noticed he can't reach the puck anymore.

 

[suovas]

Didn't the Latvian take a dive when no one was in 10 feet of him?

He just got the attention by all the Canadian scouts. Soon to be drafted.

 

[Old Man Jags]

Ludicrous diving penalty against Latvia. Looks like the refs are incompetent both ways. They always are useless. Remember the ridiculous non-whistle that led to Canada’s goal for 3-1 against the Czechs? The supervisor apologised to the Czech team after the game, but how could it happen? Would not even happen in amateur hockey. And the inconsistencies are ridiculous, like the 2 mins that in any other game here led to 5 + game.

 

[vlady]

Seems you need the tissue man.

I fail to understand why...

 

[jj cale]

silovs with some big saves.

 

[NyQuil]

Well, Canada has their work cut out for them.

Another strong showing for Latvia in front of their fans.

 

[jj cale]

I fail to understand why...

because you are just pissy because Canada is playing in a game.

But you do you.

 

[Old Man Jags]

The Latvians need to calm down and draw fewer penalties.

Welcome to IIHF reffing.

I am no longer surprised by anything.

 

[Chainshot]

silovs with some big saves.

Canuck fans have to be thrilled with his tournament.

 

[Old Man Jags]

I still think Canada wins this but am very surprised Latvia is more than in it 2 periods in. Wow.

 

[agent082]

It's sad that latvians started filming too. I blame the refs. It's hard to stay honest, when game is reffed this way.

 

[snipes]

Tuning in a bit late to this one. Have it PVR’d but I see Canada is down 2-1 so I’ll just keep watching it live.

Only saw the last couple minutes of the 2nd.

What is happening here?

 

[vlady]

because you are just pissy because Canada is playing in a game.

But you do you.

am I? How did you come to that conclusion? Like I said, I would prefer a Canadian win here. I have my reasons. Most of my life Canada has been my second most favorite national team. Even touchy fans like you don't turn me off.

 

[jj cale]

Canuck fans have to be thrilled with his tournament.

Well doing it in one tournament is one thing, doing it in he NHL on a nightly basis with consistency over the course of a few seasons is quite another.

Seen a lot of these flash in the pans with goaltending in international tournaments.

Latvia being deadly from their chances and Canada peppering Sielovs, little bit of "goonery" but that's about it.

 

[NyQuil]

22 minutes of penalties in the period.

Strangely, no sign of you yesterday.

 

[harpoon]

Weegar not looking himself.

He’s pretty much played the whole game. What do you expect?

Seems like its been a parade to the penalty box. Need to clean that up

Canada has like 3 totally unnecessary penalties, one too many men, one stupid hack that broke Latvians stick, Fantilly punching a Latvian in the face after a slight scrum.

Then there was a tripping for Canadian and an embellishment for Latvian in the same play, lots of stupid shit.

Oh yeah, one offsetting minors for roughing too, i think that might be all the Canadian penalties, not sure.

I didn't watch the game. I wasn't on Jatkoaika either. You can check it.

Don't blame you for not watching yesterdays game.

But you're here today doing your usual thing.

Hopefully they stay out of the box and come out flying in the 3rd.

Canadian teams have long been known for late comebacks in international hockey.

Now would be a good time to summon that never say die attitude.

This (about the goal keeper I mean). Lots of hot goalies during a short tournament are on fire because they play for their country and/or for other reasons. Not all manage to back it up during the everyday slog of a long season. But good luck to Silovs, he has certainly been a rock for his team, hope he can consistently show his skills over the course of an NHL season.
