GDT: Latvia Vs Canada | 7:30PM | Group A - Canadian Tire Centre

[NyQuil]

ok and does it make my point less valid? It was a big win for them. It was an insane game. They deserve to celebrate...

You said it was their biggest victory ever and it isn’t, that’s all.

You may not have been aware of their bronze medal in 2023.

 

[TheBeard]

How the f*** did Dave Cameron get another shot at this after the last time?

Because Dave King is almost 80

 

[Antiillafire]

Who was the Canadian women giving the middle fingers to Mateiko after he scored?? Go run on a a treadmill you fat bitch

It’s their biggest victory for their junior team though.

 

[JKG33]

Ah my bad man. I assumed bc your Winnipeg location. Sorry bout that

Cheers fella

 

[Divine]

You CLEARLY do care though. It’s pathetically sad.

You're terrible at reading people.

I said wow that was quite an excessive celebration and you started taking personal shots. That, objectively, was an excessive celebration for winning a game that might not even matter.

 

[dirtydanglez]

lol

 

[Guess]

People can whine about Parekh or Yakemchuk or whoever, but for real —- how the hell is Michael Misa not on this team? Gavin Mckenna is 17 and he has 61 points in 30 games…. Michael Misa is 17 and has 61 points in 30 games… ON DEFENCE. And He has one of the best +/- in the league, and he’s 6’1, bigger than 2 of Canadas selected D-men…
Michael Misa is the truth, and the future, and the present.. how the hell is he not there?

Put Misa and McKenna together in Ot and they’ll get that goal.

Huh? Misa is a forward.

 

[tabness]

Let's hope these Canadian boys left it all on the ice and don't take anything extra to the Golf and Gala lol

 

[GKJ]

That is the quietest I’ve ever heard a crowd upon the moment they lost. Almost non-responsive. They were numbed by the shock.

 

[CycloneSweep]

You're terrible at reading people.

You’re just terrible. Trying to throw shade at kids for excitement. Go yell at some clouds.

in 2016 the Hawkesbury Hawks Jr.A nearly beat the Latvian team during a pre tournament game, just for reference lol

 

[TheTotalPackage]

They've medaled at the world championships before. Just because TSN keeps pretending like they've never accomplished nothing doesn't make it true. Didn't Latvia nearly beat Canada at the actual olympics too?

All proof as to how far the Latvian hockey program has come along.

 

[ottawagm]

The better team won.

Canada is normally the highest skilled team, but they chose to leave their highest skilled players off the team this year.

We'll see how the rest of the tournament goes.

 

[Quinning]

It was entertaining, the tournament(for me at least) has generally been pretty shit since Russia's been out, so it's nice to see something interesting happen.

Russia should be back in. It's more fun to watch with a universal villain. The Kuznetsov years were amazing.

 

[cmcneil02]

Watch them win gold and you will back track. lol

There is no saving Canada after that game, if I’m wrong I ain’t back tracking. Sweden & USA have much better chemistry.

 

[Chainshot]

Historic win. Glad I tuned in as I normally skip these games for the obvious reason. I cheer for competitive hockey and growth of the sport beyond all else. What a fantastic night. Congrats to Lithuania.

I'm sorry, sir but this is a Hesburger.

 

[Divine]

All proof as to how far the Latvian hockey program has come along.

That's my point exactly. People keep acting like Latvia is nothing and should celebrate every win like it's their last because they won't amount to something.

Good win for Latvia, expect more.

Isn't Misa a forward?

 

[Bubbles]

Canadians should file a protest. Latvia used an illegal player. No way Kurbaka is 19!!

 

[NyQuil]

It’s their biggest victory for their junior team though.

Absolutely.

 

[tp71]

You said it was their biggest victory ever and it isn’t, that’s all.

You may not have been aware of their bronze medal in 2023.

my main point was in response to someone criticizing them celebrating like it was a big deal.

Whether or not it was in fact their biggest win doesnt really impact them main point of them being allowed to celebrate as its a big deal. I dont actually care if it is their biggest win or not as its not relevant to the point of the post.

Im going to block you now.

 

[WarriorofTime]

I bet you a lot of little kids or their parents in Latvia watched this

Doubtful since the game was at like 3 am local time

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I'd rather be upset by Latvia than anyone else, as they are just an awesome hockey country

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Is that what they did? Pathetic if true

With Hage yes,
