latvia is worse then swiss or norway by far lol

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Have a feeling Finland will take out their frustrations in this game.

Since I used to work for them in Helsinki I said to myself "No, jaa. Lassila Tikanoja scored."

 

[king89]

That's more like it 2-0

Great pass and finish

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Latvia looks tired

 

[Pieck]

Does Latvia realize this game matters? They’re playing like they’re conserving energy for tomorrow. But beating Germany won’t be enough if they lose badly in this game and Finland loses to Sweden

 

[JohnWillow]

I'm so freaking dissapointed in this team. Like what the hell is going on. There is no way we are this bad.
That Uljanskis turnover leading to goal was dumb, just shoot the damn puck to the net.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

The shots are standard WJC fare. Real hockey nations >>> pretenders.

Sorry, Latvia. Your fans are the best.

 

[Pan]

The most intriguing part is if Latvia makes at least 10 shots on goal by the end of the game. It's 2 sog in the first so far and like 4 attempts to enter Finland's zone.

 

[RobRayzor]

just shoot the damn puck to the net.

Everytime they try to shoot,they get stick lifted easily lol.

Good for them because this will most likely be the last game they win in this tournament.

 

[JohnWillow]

Biggest dissapointment by far is Ločmelis. Have not seen him do anything at all in this tourney.

I had high hopes for this NT.

 

[YippieKaey]

Finally Finland is playing with some heart and it's working well. Hyvää!

 

[BigBadBoar]

Complete domination by Finland so far. I am a bit disappointed by the team Latvia. Not only today but in the entire tournament. Looks like they are completely unable to keep the pace of the games. Most of the time just sitting on a carousel in their own zone and trying to clear it over the blue. Maybe D. Locmelis is able to make a good play 1 on 1 time to time but the rest of their players are really just like "touch the puck, send it away and go to the bench". I don't think this is the best performance they might be capable of, their roster didn't look that bad at all.

 

[OKR]

Not very impressed by Finland here either, yeah they’re ”dominating” but they’re just not looking very dangerous at all and just not doing as well as they should against a team that much weaker on paper.

 

[king89]

So stupid by Hämeenaho

 

[ijuka]

Huh what's with this widescreen TV, they should upgrade to ipad minis like NHL.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Finland not really playing any better, Canada and Germany were just able to exploit the lack of offensive or defensive structure better.

I like how they still huddled close to the screen like it was an iPad.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

2 quality chances missed by Suomi.

 

[czechcanadian]

Have to say I’m really looking forward to Sweden Finland game.
Finn’s will want to prove something.
Don’t count them out just yet

 

[king89]

Better powerplay today from us

 

[TheBeard]

HALT!!
