Elvis has left the building

Sadly I truly believe that Elvis was psychologically ruined when his buddy died at the 4th of July party saving his wife and unborn child. He’s never been the same since

 

[SoundAndFury]

Similar to Batna to be honest. Probably a 5, how is this different.

That's the speculation, we can't know for sure, but the timing looks that way.

Yep, unfortunatly I think this might be the case.

 

[SoundAndFury]

No idea how is this different from Batna's one, lucky break for Johansson.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Get Kempe a Kingsjersey so he can score.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Vitols is doing well enough at least.

 

[kudla]

By the way, is Namejs banned, has he said something over the line? Because it would be interesting to hear from the biggest Elvis apologist.

Well, the latvians have collapsed. The mistakes were ridiculous. I dont think any other goalie would have aved much more.

 

[EK47]

Sweden up 6-2 despite the refs best efforts. I normally don’t like to slag the refs but jesus christ these assholes are bad.

 

[Dofs]

Well, the latvians have collapsed and literally left him "to die".

Elvis let in, like, every open shot from mid zone. Such shots happen many times in a game. A goalie has to save them, or at least not let in every single one. Especially if this goalie supposedly plays in NHL.

Are we watching the same game? The third goal was a relatively simple shot from the middle of the zone. 5th one just a pretty basic rush goalies face 5 times per game. 6th one is the only that definitely fits your description.

 

[Svedu]

I have a question. Is it political or controversial wishing for peace and that all teams could participate and compete in these tournaments? I mean it's not like some nations have been excluded when their foreign affairs have been highly questionable.

Do people reflect over these things? Or is everything always black or white?

Yes, it's black and white. A flat out fascism shouldn't be ignored.

Also this has been talked about at nauseum. Over 2 years into the relevant conflict you should know who stands where instead of questioning it in the GDT thread of a game that has nothing to do with it.

 

[Svedu]

Yes, it's black and white. A flat out fascism shouldn't be ignored.

So why hasn't a country that starts with I been excluded? Or a country that starts with a U? Or do you believe that those wars have been charity work form the western superpowers? Lol.

Absolutely not. It was a perfectly executioned and placed shot right from behind the defenseman legs (from goalies perspective) these are extremely hard to save. If anything, the Eriksson Ek's goal looked the most saveable to me.

 

[Vikz]

To be honest, Elvis is not to blame on any of the goals. However, a goalie should save at least something. An NHL goalie should save most of it.

Maybe the case.
But if he’s affected by it maybe take a break from the game.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Be that as it may, hardly the breakdown wherein Elvis was "left to die" you are talking about.

Well, you know, it also was the D's fault. He was trying to block the shot, but instead he screened Elvis

Dude. After the goalie allows 6 goals on 20 shots to go sub-.85 on the tournament, you can't keep saying everything is somebody else's fault. Goalies are there to save the mistakes of other people, that's by definition.

 

[EK47]

Powerkill!

Yeah I am not saying he did good, but after those latvian mistakes, you just can't be surprised when the puck ends up in the net

 

[Summer Rose]

No more political topics in the thread, please. This thread is about Latvia vs. Sweden.

 

[Dofs]

Vitols saved an open mid-range shot. A goalie can do it.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Imagine winning gold with this PP.
