Anyone reckon KA Olimb could cut it in the NHL?

What a goal..

Probably not. He and his brother signed for Linkoping in swedish SHL next season.

 

[Justinov]

2 goals in 20 secs from Norway, last one an absurd own goal by Latvia.

Yeh I know. I like him.

Christ what a pass by Zuke.

**** you, team Latvia! You irresponsible, honourless, impudent whelps. You are twits! Not only for your nation, but also for every hockey-watching amoeba.

 

[TollefsenFan]

Nice win, but we took to many stupid penalties

 

[tade]

Solid GDT.

Latvia as usual stealing points from strong ones but beaten by weakers one. Every year. Kind of similar problem as Slovakia. Thank you Norway you get us 9.place I think. It does not matter anyway but I am glad for IIHF rankings points.

We are the weaker one. Norway, Denmark - their time of being among weaker teams has passed.

I mean Latvia usually steal most points from top 6. Denmark beat Czech though. It is my impression. You usually play well against top 6 but somehow choke against your level (actually Slovakia belongs here to) oppontents. I personally though you will make QF after first rounds.
