[Jon Riley]

Reminds me on the Nashville Powerplay

Yes, that's where I have seen this before!

 

[torero]

Reminds me on the Nashville Powerplay

Me too, but in Nashville ... it goes in !

That obvious intereference by Weber right in front of the referee? Doesn't get more txtbook than that.

IMHO a collision an not an intereference, but you can see that differently, I can see that point.

 

[mosare]

31:15 shoots for the swiss. they are missing to many chances

 

[BalticWarrior]

Whats up with Ābols? I hope to f***ing god its not an injury.

 

[canswetoxic]

both team are fast, damn.

 

[torero]

this game is thrilling ! good game.

 

[stv11]

Diaz took the faceoff? Did I see that right?

 

[jonas2244]

Diaz took the faceoff? Did I see that right?

Yeah, and he won it.

 

[Jon Riley]

Diaz took the faceoff? Did I see that right?

yeah and he won it

 

[BruinLVGA]

Well, we're missing about a dozen players.

65 vs. 35 sounds pretty close to the truth, I'd go for 60 vs. 40, but yes.

Yes, 60 - 40 is fair. With the top talent (at minimum a 30 goals, 66 points player and multiple 20 goals 50+ player), Switzerland is missing, I think that 65-35 would be good too.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Yes Meier would be fantastic, he has such a great season. Nino is also missing! But to be fair, latvia is a strong opponent as excpected and the swiss has a lot of room to improve their game. Hischier had a few good moves, but josi need to step up his game

Oh yes, Latvia is no pushover. They have a good team and a great coach.

 

[Retroglyphs]

Yeah, and he won it.

AFAIR this happened at last year's WHC as well.

 

[ozo]

Wtd Diaz?

 

[Speyer]

Was that a dive?

 

[RobRayzor]

You have to score on powerplay , so many opportunities, cause otherwise Swiss team will win

 

[RobRayzor]

Was that a dive?

Yeah, cause one would fake a possible injury by “diving”, cmon, be serious

 

[stv11]

Latvia's special team are so much better it's not even funny...

 

[jonas2244]

Yeah, cause one would fake a possible injury by “diving”, cmon, be serious

If you're back one minute later without anything, I'd call that a dive. It was a slash but both should have been sent out.

 

[mosare]

must be a good diving school for the letts, it's ridiculous

 

[Speyer]

Yeah, cause one would fake a possible injury by “diving”, cmon, be serious

Saw it only in the corner of my eye where it looked odd and posted before the replay...

 

[stastny12]

What a intensive pressure by Latvia. Its not even possible that result is still 1-1. Really great effort and fans are unbelievable, as well.

 

[torero]

whatever ... back 5vs5 ..ouf

 

[The Noot]

The last penalty was questionable, but it's not like we got to see a decent camera angle for the incident so far.

 

[member 305909]

Of the predicted top teams of this group it is the Swiss against whom Latvia has the best chances of beating them. If Latvia loses this they are practically out of the QFs.
