Makes the Czech and Sweden game even bigger.

The Canada USA game too. 1 team gets the Swiss the other gets the loser of the game you’re talking about.

 

[Jussi]

2-0! Kiiskinen!

 

[PanniniClaus]

Great shot

 

[gritdash60]

Finns powerplay continues to be ass. Thank god it's 5v5 so we finally could score.

Classic HFBoards jinx!

 

[PanniniClaus]

Won't beat Rimpinen by dusting off the puck. He's too dialed in.

 

[gritdash60]

Im aware that there are difference in goalie pads on how much bounce they have, but do they have difference in sound as well, because whenever Rimpinen the finnish goalie has a bad save it sounds like it's bass boosted

can we get some competent refs in this tournament?

Would Latvia lead 4-0 if there was competent refs?

Good old turtle defence by Latvia, gotta change up in the 3rd period if they want to battle for points

 

[Namejs]

That Latvian top line is a shadow of itself without Osmanis. We can't seem to generate any offense, no O-zone time, no puck possession.

I don't think they're going to go all in now either.

A boring, close loss.

 

[gritdash60]

A boring, close loss.

In what way has the game been close this far? I don't even know which line is 1st for Latvia?

 

[gritdash60]

"scary for opponents that Finland is playing on their level" dude, the team is +1 Goals for in the tournament atm hahah.

 

[Jussi]

Halttunen 3-0!

 

[gritdash60]

Powerplay goal! It's possible! bet we have like 10% PP now!

 

[ottawarenegader613]

The way Finland is handling the puck in the Latvian zone during the delayed penalty call, that song Sweet Georgia Brown is playing in my mind...lol.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Pretty refreshing to see a player, even in juniors, to be so visibly happy after finally scoring and getting that monkey off their back like Halttunen was after that 3-0 goal. Even looked like he put some extra emphasis for the cameras and teammates haha.

Thank you for letting me know you don't know anything about Team Latvia, what is your point?

I never said the game was close the score is close becauce of how defensive Latvia is playing and they're not going to open up and it's going to end the same way it started.

Put your thinking cap on.

You dont like a little banter do you? Cmon man.

You won against Canada, i respect it, but let's be honest your team isn't a championship favorite. Ofcourse i know who is Latvias 1st line im watching the game, maybe dont get offended by some basic banter...

 

[gritdash60]

Kiviharju said "you just got the biggest steal in the draft", I guess he will be a lot better in couple years.

 

[gritdash60]

5 minutes to new year for me, i got a dude sleeping on my balcony (too drunk), 1 dude screaming at the pc monitor saying EA is bullshit, and 2 friends with me watching us win!

 

[Jukurit]

Boring game.

 

[gritdash60]

Boring game.

Turtle defence didnt work, oh well
