Awesome for those kids

Latvia played well. Latvia played smart. And the winner of the other pool gets Czechia in the quarters - possible upset.

"Latvia's 1st ever win in the WJC"

They literally won back to back games in 2009

 

[Statsy]

For a team that wasn’t supposed to be here, they sure as hell looked like they belong!

Congrats, Latvia!

 

[Summer Rose]

Congratulations, Latvia!

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Congrats Latvia

Latvia has a short anthem

Wasn’t that relegation? This was supposedly their first preliminary round win.

 

[Summer Rose]

I had never heard the Latvian national anthem before. That was pretty cool.

Yup.

 

[Ippenator]

I thought I saw some great hockey expert here claiming many times that Latvia doesn’t belong in this tournament. Would he be willing to still explain his very creative explanation why so?

Congratz Latvia! You have had a very impressive team in this tournament. I’m very happy to see more of it!

 

[JackSlater]

Good for Latvia, deserved win and a nice sign of progress for them.

 

[ORRFForever]

Looks like Latvia got the good dressing room.

 

[Kalv]

Oh my god, what a game and result for us.

It did feel like we made Canadians and Finns at least a bit nervous and we shit our own bed vs Slovaks, but still... this was surprising, but wjat a team effort. Lot of great guys on it with loads of passion

What a game, awesome for Latvia. Bruveris and Bergmanis are amazing.

I wonder if Niks Fenenko gets another look from scouts this year. As a late-04, he was just a few weeks away from being FY 2023-eligible.

 

[goonybird]

Sucks for Slovakia but it's hard not to feel great about Latvia.

 

[Czechboy]

It's hard to be upset... I was happy for Latvia.. they gutted that third out beautifully. Nice work. I felt terrible for the Slovaks in the stands (the only people in the stands.lol).

Bednar has been weak... He almost set up the fifth goal.

Didn't notice jiricek much at all.

I think we are averaging 4 or 5 goals against this tourney... Canada got 5... Slovaks got 4... Latvia got 5... Can't remember what Finn's got but this is our best d in a decade and we are getting shelled. Bednar might be like skarek... Great goalie but leaky on national team. I was hoping for cajan but he's in stands. Curious who starts Wednesday?

No complaints... We had us or Sweden no matter what. I thought we looked good in third.

Congrats on breaking the 27 game losing streak Latvia and I hope you put up a good game against US or Sweden on Wednesday.

Sorry to Slovakia.. you deserved a better fate. 2 days rest will be nice.

Did Slovakia get relegated or what are the rules this tournament? I'm wondering because the removal of Russia might have changed the rules in some way.
