GDT: Group B - May 14 - Canada vs Latvia

[Urbanskog]

Mcdavid is the x-factor for any game. He's the main reason you want to avoid playing Canada in the qf. One gets the feeling he is just going to break out for a 5 point game all of a sudden.

In the quarterfinal? No chance.

 

[Namejs]

GET IN

 

[LAINEC]

What if Latvia robs some points from Canada??

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Now, welcome to trap city.

 

[McFlash97]

Canada should just bow out. This is an embarrassing display of hockey from players wearing our colours. Disgusting.

 

[Zaar]

Oh dear ... appalling goal tending.

 

[Zaar]

What if Latvia robs some points from Canada??

It's still possible, that Canada miss the QF if they lose to Latvia and Germany.

 

[RobRayzor]

Every time there’s a scramble in front of Latvian net i have a heart attack

 

[BalticWarrior]

And now we will waste energy on a game we will lose anyway... Pointless

 

[MinJaBen]

Hey, at least with Bill Peters, Canada will win the Corsi.

Oh dear ... appalling goal tending.

Thing is, if goaltending was the only problem, Canada would still be okay, but the team as a whole looks flat out there. I don't see any intensity or pride, kind of unfortunate.

actually getting a point against Canada might be of some use when playing against Denmark

 

[Mestaruus]

0 points to Canada from this guarantees CAN-RUS or CAN-SWE QF, if Canada wins tomorrow. That would be fun.

I'm not that convinced, Latvia is going to lose. Sure the Canadians are more skilled, but they look kinda clueless and their goalie doesn't help either.

Couldn't Canada fail to make it out of groups at this pace?

 

[glue]

Canada's players have forgotten how to shoot it looks like this game..either floaters or fanned shots

 

[Gil Gunderson]

This is hilarious.

Since either DEN or LAT will lose points tomorrow (they face each other), with quick glance I believe it's still in Canada's own hands if they win tomorrow.

If Canada loses in regulation today, at all tomorrow and the Den Lat game goes to OT, Canada misses the elimination round

 

[RobRayzor]

Canada probably will scorw on one of these powerplays, i assume theyll be getting a lot of these soon

 

[Lampedampe]

That's one bold penalty to call..

 

[Mestaruus]

If Canada loses in regulation today, at all tomorrow and the Den Lat game goes to OT, Canada misses the elimination round

There's still CAN-GER tomorrow and GER just beat Finland.

 

[Maylo]

There's still CAN-GER tomorrow and GER just beat Finland.

Draisaitl vs McDavid!

 

[Mestaruus]

If Canada loses in regulation today, at all tomorrow and the Den Lat game goes to OT, Canada misses the elimination round

Looks like it could be a 3 way tie. I'm not sure what happens then. Canada beat DEN, didn't they. Do they go to goal differences in the games that these teams played vs each other?

CAN-DEN was 7-1, so Canada would probably survive hmm.

Parayko looks cross eyed out there!
