GDT: Group B - May 11 - Latvia vs Austria

[BalticWarrior]

Galviņš you f***ing moron

 

[GX]

Why would Balcers ever pass to Galviņš for shot?

 

[Arthur]

Would you think about who you are passing on a fast break?

 

[BalticWarrior]

Game is exactly as close as everybody here expected, but god damn can we capitalize on atleast some of our chances, please?

 

[GX]

Biggest downside of 1st period is lack of shots and shot accuracy.

Same feeling herr

 

[BalticWarrior]

We need to slow the game down, the biggest strength of the Austrians is running like headless chicken on the forecheck, but every time we cut them off with stretch passes, they get completley outplayed

Beyak, TV person, admits that Jet's passion is fueled by alcohol. Only the Latvians and Australians are out fueling us.

No kangaroos in Austria

No kangaroos in Austria

It was a "I'm drinking too much" joke. We have skools in Canada. And Beyak should talk. He is head TV guy for the Jets and he drinks like a fish. I was defending you guys.

 

[robertocarlos]

I'm enjoying this game.

 

[robertocarlos]

Long lead passes. Good thing there is a blue-line.

Im not

Dont worry but we are so used to be mistaken for australians that we have a running joke „no kangaroos in austria“

Are you being sarcastic?

You have a couple of solid forward lines. The only thing separating us is a tiny bit more depth. Yet then again you have more structure and your lines weren't thrown in the blender yesterday.

Looking at odds right now, there's some value on Austria right now. This is definitely not a 75/25 game. It's more like 60/40.

Keep in mind that we have missed 2 centre forwards in Blueger and Pavlovs in recent days, as well as a W/C in Daugavins. Daugavins and Blueger were supposed to play on the 1st line together.

Look at the players we're MISSING:
- Blueger - Daugavins
Karsums - Dzerins - Redlihs
- Girgensons - Jevpalovs
- Pavlovs - Egle

7-8 of them would crack the current lineup, no questions asked. And then there's Elvis, Kalnins, Rubins, Cukste.

Half the team's missing.

Beating Austria 4-1 with a dozen players missing doesn't sound realistic, especially considering we haven't even practiced with these sort of lines.

No. I explained why I thought the way I did in the Austria thread.

And its alright, at least you have Blueger now.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Holy ****, we threw everything but the kitchen sink at the Austrians. The posts and their goalie has stonewalled us.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Lets go Latvia you can make it.

 

[ozo]

A lot of pointless possession, forced passes and lack of a finishing. We need to improve and do it fast.

 

[kabidjan18]

Balcers, Bluegers and Indrasis' passing is so pretty.

Yeah we are trying to be way too fancy with the passes sometimes. Im sure Bob will emphasise this in the break. We are not Sweden, we dont have Erik Karlsson and Backstrom to pull that shit off.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Finally! Good things happen when you shoot the puck. And what a shot it was!

 

[GX]

Basically a 2nd period goal. That's good - capitalized on the pressure and PP opportunities. Let's see where the game takes us from here.

 

[GX]

And that should be the game.

 

[kabidjan18]

Crickets from the professional complainers haha

 

[BalticWarrior]

Now i can relax a bit....
