[BalticWarrior]

Balcers with 4pts. I feel he will pop-off for Ottawa next season

Bob making the best of the game and testing some new lines. Meija with both Bukarts; Blugers centering Indrasis and Darzins.

Crickets from the professional complainers haha

They're enjoying the game

Balcers with 4 points today

I'm loving the Blueger line, the others have clicked surprisingly well as the game went on.

Bukarts brothers have been kind of mediocre though, not seeing Roberts at all, Galvins with a couple of mistakes as well, Gudlevskis with some questionable moves.

Decent win overall, I'm not surprised since Blueger basically added an entire line, without him the game would be the same as in the 1st period

Great. A couple of apples and a couple of great chances as well. He basically ties the the whole line together and without him the game would be entirely different.

great to see. Hope the penguins give him a bigger role this year.

They've screwed him over a lot this past year. He's a really good and smart player but got unfairly HSed for far worse players even though he was one of our better players down the stretch.

Abols left Hartley hanging on a fist bump, he wasn’t happy

Yup. He's a real crafty playmaker, high IQ guy and he connects and rises to the level of his linemates however good they are, and he makes everyone else better around him. By his nature he's definitely no grinder type.

I just loved the subtle nod Ābols Sr. gave to Rodrigo. He tries to hide it, but you can just tell he was proud of his boy.

Glad to see Meija and Darzins scoring. When those guys were 23 y.o. they were learning to play hockey in Belarus league. Indrasis as well.

One of these days China will beat Argentina and you'll still find some way to make it a win for Belarus.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Next game against Switzerlad pretty much decides if we make QF, we are in a tough position, because on paper the Swiss are just hands down better than us.

The only wins Belarus lately gets are through our success

Well, he's proud an Elite tier team has players who played in the Belarus league. Since Belarus isn't good enough to be here, let him enjoy the moment and root for Latvia.

On the paper?! Check the swiss roster and then check the latvia roster. They are not even close. But indeed it still could be a close game
