Who's the Canadian coach? I blame him for this.

50 shots and you blame him? I blame them focusing on the goal song and all the TSN puffery that is a distraction to them.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Shoot out doesn't matter. Latvia already won this game.

 

[Seedtype]

No matter what happens, I salute you Latvians.

 

[hockey20000]

LATVIJA LATVIJA LATVIJA LATVIJA LATVIJA LATVIJA

 

[Terry Yake]

shootouts are so dumb

 

[canucksfan]

Canada should finish this in the shootout.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

This is some compelling shit.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

All credit to Latvia. Played a very solid game.

This Canadian team seems to think they’ll just win the game - none of them are seizing the moment so far

They believe the TSN hype

 

[S E P H]

Any chance Mike Johnson can GTFO from my telly?

 

[filinski77]

Canada wishing they didn’t cut Cristall right now…

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Odd call, looked like the goalie initiated contact

The goalie is allowed to use his crease. Hence “crease violation”

 

[NyQuil]

Yakemchuk wasn't even good enough to make the team. That is why he is not on the team.

Yes, and we’re seeing that brain trust in full effect tonight.

I disagree. They all wanna seize the moment all by themselves. They’re just trying to make highlight reel plays

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

The big thing with the shot count is that I find the Latvians actually tested our goalie more. We didn’t really test the Latvian goalie and we are lacking creativity and we can’t break them down. PP and PK don’t look great and I found we didn’t dominate the o zone.

 

[Henderson33]

Does everyone complaining about Canada remember the 2014 Olympics when a Latvian team almost broke a Canadian team if not for Shea Weber.

Wonder who won Gold that year..

 

[Turin]

Man Trudeau has really ruined everything in Canada

Tbf the country WAS way easier to be passionate about prior to 2015.

 

[Czechboy]

dw your turns coming tomorrow GO KAZ

Something I said?lol

 

[czechcanadian]

Hey this is what happens from time to time. Gotta be happy for Latvians! What a performance from them.

Everyone thought it would be 12-0

 

[Blitzkrug]

Canada confirmed to lose the shootout when they realize they can't pass the puck.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Yes, and we’re seeing that brain trust in full effect tonight.

No we aren't.

 

[SI90]

This is great for the tournament. No one wants to see 10-3 games until the final 4. Nice to see competitive games.

 

[hockey20000]

Something I said?lol

lol no im bantering you

 

[DharmaBum]

Canada will still find a way to fire it into some shinpads in this shootout

 

[IpsoPostFacto]

All credit to Latvia. Played a very solid game.

this!

Not playing with any confidence. Despite the final score, I felt this at the Finland game - perhaps just a different read seeing it live, but nobody seems to want to be "the man"
