1-0 for Kazakhstan, nice one-man-show from Ivanov

 

[admire]

lol....no postings and there is already a goal.


I think Kazakhstan will win vs. both latvia and denmarkl.,

 

[BalticWarrior]

This is good, we need to fly out of the Elite to finally fire the whole LHF board and make same changes, otherwise it has been constant stagnation.

 

[Like Wall]

LOOOOL! I'm not even watching. Just switched to hockey, saw the score, switched away. It is over. I don't think we will ever recover after this.

 

[Steveorama]

I thought TSN was broadcasting every single game of this tournament. Every TSN channel is showing the Canada game, no sign of Kazakhstan vs Latvia.

 

[Falling Snow]

Always cheered for Latvia (if they not playing swiss..) Plz win! Latvia belongs to the Elite.

 

[Booster*]

Latvia?? What´s wrong, i know they are not really that bad.

 

[Justinov]

Latvia gets a PP - important for Latvia to turn the game around fast and make the Kazakhs move.
In some games the Kazakhs actually seemed to get quite tired (even more than other teams), so it important to keep them moving and not being in a lead that gives you extra energy.

Nope, our PP blows. All the movement is to set up point shots without any goalie screening. I'd rather decline PP's at this point. :/

Why wouldn't you recover ? Germany was relegated twice in 7 years (1998. and 2005.) and now they are in good position to make quarterfinals.

 

[BalticWarrior]

This is the most pathetic team we have sent to WC except for a few guys.

Yeah we need a good ass-kicking to finally change something

 

[kulenova seka]

I am looking at standings at group A and there are four teams in battle for 4th place.

Your PP looks like the Danish PP (way to static), that's why I said it's about getting the Kazakhs to move and get tired, so to open up a chance later in the match.
It's still only 1 goal behind, but Latvia needs to bring speed against this team.

It's really crazy - 4 teams fight a relegation battle as well

Anyone who thinks Lipmans will fire himself is lunatic.

 

[BalticWarrior]

SOMETHING has to happen, it cant go on like this much longer. How the hell did we even end up with such a despot at the LHF throne?

 

[Justinov]

Latvia have a PP again, so hopefully this time they can get some movement on their PP?

 

[BalticWarrior]

LOL whats even the point of giving us PP?

 

[jonas2244]

Kolesnik is playing really well.

 

[Justinov]

Another PP for Latvia!
At least Latvia is showing some speed on 5-5 and last PP was somewhat better than the former ones.
EDIT: This one was again way to static. Kazakhs just keeps their box and cover shots by throwing themselves on the ice.

 

[ellja3]

Shirokovs abilty to get stupid penalties is stunning

 

[Justinov]

Now time for the Kazakh PP for the first time in the match......
Will it be 2-0?

 

[BalticWarrior]

Shirokovs abilty to get stupid penalties is stunning

He is,by far, the worst defender we have ever had.
