GDT: Group A - May 11 - Switzerland (5) vs Latvia (4)

[BalticWarrior]

'We will give a chance to A.Sirokovs' /LV coaching staff pre-game/

Sure, there's no way it could have gone wrong..

Beresņevs the tactical genius

 

[SwissGrog]

That counts? ok

I mean, I'll take it but I wouldn't have decided this way. I guess.

of course it counts! There was no kick motion. You are allowed to change the position of the foot and try to deflect in goal, you are not allowed to kick it in.

Great goal actually it was very difficult and you can see he tried to deflect it on purpose.

 

[The Noot]

Nino is a man on a mission

 

[BalticWarrior]

Almost edging out swedes and czechs and losing to the ****ing swiss 3:0 unbelievable...

Agree completely, but then why was Mozyakins goal disallowed, when the motion there was far less obvious (you literally had to watch replay in super slow motion). Inconsistency is frustrating not this call in isolation.

Perhaps I just wasn't looking close enough.

Looked like a kick at first glance.

 

[Like Wall]

Goodbye, elite!

 

[ozo]

unbelievable...

It is easier to be an underdog, when you can do a lot by sheer effort itself, but when the opponent quality gets weaker, our lack of talent gets exposed when we have to actually make hockey plays.

It's just a different thing to play a game where you normally have no chance and every point you get is a surprise or play a game you have to win.

 

[ellja3]

It almost seems that refs are inventing the calls on the go by tossing a coin

 

[ellja3]

Seems like ''just shoot the freaking puck'' PP strategy is working better than snail-like passing

 

[RobertR]

And I wanted to make fun, how we are playing dwarf Mikelis in front of the net. Glad I didn't.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

And the Jekyll&Hyde award award goes to...Switzerland

 

[CrookedCrook]

Haha, go Latvia!

 

[Pandaman11]

Lol.

 

[The Noot]

And the Jekyll&Hyde award award goes to...Switzerland

No kidding. That was quick

 

[Pandaman11]

Goodbye, elite!

Hello comeback victory!

 

[mosare]

that's really bad! LOL swizerland and PK omfg!!!

 

[ellja3]

Hopefully this won't end like WSH-PIT last night w OT loss after 3 goal comeback

 

[Like Wall]

Just luck. It has nothing to do with successful coaching.

 

[SwissGrog]

ahi ahi ahi the box play is horrible....that's the problem when you don't have true box-play defensemen....Furrer would have been great....

and now Trachsler made the Nino in the wrong net....ahi ahi ahi

 

[stv11]

No kidding. That was quick

Can't blame the team, two goals are flukes and one is on the refs. That's depressing, puck finally goes in and then this...

 

[GX]

Two lucky goals (out of three). Latvians still need energy going forward. Hopefully Beresņevs can bash them in the locker room - that could be the only thing he's useful for.

 

[RobertR]

We need some saves from Masalskis in the 3rd..

 

[Jon Riley]

Oh. This team has some serious mental issues.
