Third ever win at the World Juniors in the preliminary round. They just beat what is considered the greatest hockey country.
For a country that is trying to build a program, this is a massive accomplishment. Regardless if they shit the bed here on out.
Because Cameron is a garbage coach.
Every breakout has the 3 forwards standing at the opposing blueline forcing D to make tough passes to players not even moving.

Exactly. Where the f*** are Parekh, Yakemchuk and Cristall? Cameron is a dunce.
So, why did we leave most of our best players at home? Lmao.

Imagine making excuses for a team that had outscored the team that just beat them 41-4 in the past 4 games.

Yeah, but shouldn't the expectation be to win a few games? Or do they just show up hoping to not get swept?

Not salty about this one. Good win Latvia. Well deserved with a hell of a performance from the goaltender and timely scoring.
Perfect way to leave Hockey Canada with some egg on their face but not completely sewer the team's chances in the tournament because I still want them to win.

Latvia deserves all the credit in the world. They should have been DOA after the 2-1 goal but they kept their heads down and battled to tie it and then threw everything including the kitchen sink to keep that game from ending in OT.
That being said, Canada is also pathetic. They played so smugly early in the game with all the bullshit dangling and hero play they tried to do for most of the first two periods. And the less said about that shootout, the better. Cowen's, ahem "attempt" looked like the type of shit someone tries to do in the EA sports games before they realize the leg kick does approximately f*** all.
I have a feeling Latvia gets taken to town by the US tomorrow, but they earned every second of this high they're likely on right now.

They've already taken it.....well, we gave it to them.If we keep this up, America won't want to take our hockey when we became the 51st great state.

Good for Latvia, happy for them to get a big win like that. Hoping this is a wake up call for Hockey Canada to stop picking these ridiculous rosters
Latvia stuns U.S. in overtime to take first medal ever at hockey worlds
Defenceman Kristian Rubins scored his second goal 1:22 into overtime to lead Latvia to a 4-3 victory over the United States and earn a bronze medal at the ice hockey world championship on Sunday.www.sportsnet.ca
The parade after that win was amazing - Riga was absolutely packed. I love the Latvian hockey story - the little team that just works their bag off.

They decided to get all cute and big brained by leaving some of the best talent at home.

I think the surprising part for me is that it’s not surprising. They weren’t good in pre-tournament and they weren’t good against Finland. It’s never an issue to lose an early one like this though it’s more of a red alert because of their overall performance.

Hahaha, you get what you deserve Team Canada, for playing politics and not selecting the best roster because some players are not playing in the canadian junior leagues.
Well, much like Canada tonight it was a good efford but you're holding an L.
