GDT: Group B - May 16 - Czech Republic vs Latvia

[RobRayzor]

Aaand swedish national television opts to show Denmark - Finland instead.

Swedish TV hasn’t shown any Latvian game so far.Both their channels showing one other group game.I guess it happened when Viasat lost rights to SVT

We’ll stop complaining when it reaches 5-0, so, it’s a longshot

I think we need to bench Palat next game and bring in Gulas instead. This game is a tranwreck for us!

 

[Chevx]

I just wonder where is the team from a week back... Unbelieveable. Face offs and PPs/PKs actually painful to watch.

Cmon guys, you can do better. You can skate all you want but I want to see action.

Slow game. I expected Czech pressure after the 2nd goal, so far we haven't seen much of it.

EDIT: They have noticed the clock and woken up. Hopefully it's too late before the end of 1st.

 

[RobRayzor]

Latvian fans louder now

 

[czechmate]

What an awful first period. The attitude that we played with this period is simply beyond me.

Props to Latvia; they look sharper compared to the previous games - they are playing it smart.

 

[BalticWarrior]

If Elvis ascends to God-tier status, we might even steal this one.

Yeah no kidding. This is probably the best period weve had in the whole tournament.

I am just checking something on this year's Latvian U18 roster and saw Skrastnis surname, related to late Karlis ?

Steal? You're flat out earning this one so far. Disgusting period for us, beauty one for Latvia. Scored early, shut our crown up, scored again. Got all our Czechs pissed off and pushing instead of skating, passing and scoring. Your game plan has been executed perfectly!

 

[Namejs]

Nah, the 2nd period vs. Austria and onwards up until the 2nd period vs. Switzerland was better. We're not that good at ES.

No relation

No, must’ve been SARKANIS (sort of red color)

Nope, Skrastins is a quite popular last name

To be honest you were pushing hard at then end of the period, you have superb talents on your team like Voraček, so 2 goals really is nothing.

There's a 2001 Skrastins

It is nice to read this. when you were not so in 20 minutes ago. great to watch the feeling.

Yeah i disagree completley. Our passing is crisp, the passes connect and our guys are just FLYING out there.

I`m still expecting a f*** up. Cant get hurt if you have low expectations.

Finally was Merzlikins given a NHL contract. He can be one of the best goalkeepers in the world
