GDT: Group B - May 18 - Latvia vs Russia

[jibbz]

As always, reffing at the WC is an absolute joke

 

[Namejs]

Since he's Russian, he doesn't even have to be bribed

It's a clear f*** up by the IIHF to let him ref this game

 

[Norman Moscow]

Only problem with big Z, it's his frame.
He is not a dirty player at all, just bigger and stronger then most of the modern players.

Freibergs got a 5+20 and a 1 game DSQ for a more legal looking play against Czech Republic

 

[Star Ocean]

Only 3-1 russia what is going on?

5 on 3 against Russia ? But I thought we bought the refs before the game?

These Russians also bought that Latvian player who just gave them a high danger change on PP.

As I said, one of the refs is Russian. Would you like the game to be called by a Latvian?

It's time to divide a hockey in two divisions :
1. below 1.75
2. over 1.75

Luckily to all, several Latvian KHL referees (with multiple KHL best referee awards for Odiņš) are overqualified to be a part of the WC referee team for a few years now.

There are 3 more refs, even if one is biased, others will try to make it even.

 

[Peter25]

Ovechkin LOL

 

[GX]

Cibulskis got the goal, but other than that this is a terrible game by him.

 

[Namejs]

Nice to see us pressuring the Russians in the 3rd

 

[RobRayzor]

That's a clear slash by Kucherov,lol

 

[Namejs]

Yup, clear slashing/hooking, but whatever

27 vs 33 SOG, plenty of chances

We actually could snatch a point here

If those a-hole refs had given those 2 majors,anything could've happened and could've made more interesting game

 

[Namejs]

Our chances are still alive if Sweden loses at least 3 points vs. Switzerland and Russia combined.

We need to beat Sweden in regulation time most likely

Doesn't matter now, we have to regroup and beat Sweden and Norway.
