[Cassano]

Crosby best player in the world? Not even the best player from his own city.

Looks like we're about learn a lesson in the academic hockey. Bye, bye Elite Division! Oh well, nothing lasts forever. To be frank with you, I'm losing my interest in IIHF WCH too. I have also noticed the same trend in the society. It's not the same anymore. You've changed, Latvian hockey!

 

[Budddy]

That patented Spezza drop pass.

Quite often it leads to a turnover..lol

Line looked good tho...

 

[TheStranger]

:/ I thought it was a pretty close game.

We just missed all of our chances, Canada scored on pretty much every one.

I agree. Despite having a 3-0 lead, Canada should be very concerned about what they've allowed to happen in their zone. I'm actually surprised it's not more like 3-2 with Mike Smith in net.

 

[Namejs]

Admire Latvia going for it but this is far too loose to have a chance.

That's exactly what was expected. We're close in terms of shots on goal, but that's not how you get points against superior teams.

A couple of easy goals for Canada after we lost possession in attack. I thought we were supposed to be the one's counter-attacking.

I miss Ted Nolan already.

Happens every damn year! We miss this, we miss that.

Maybe I should re-phrase it. I'm enjoying watching the Avs players playing well, not the fact that Latvia is getting beaten.

Dont sweat it ,i was just kidding.

Latvian fans have always showed a passion for the game vastly out of synch with the quality of their national team.

There have been upsets over the years (and a near miracle in Sochi), but Latvia has never challenged for a medal.

Oh god stop being such a drama queen. Were not going to fall out of the elite division. But i agree on one thing - WCH is nowhere near as big here as it used to.

 

[Bookker]

Pretty good period by Latvia. Could have scored a couple with better bounces.

What ? Weak period by Latvia you mean
They can do way better, very poor efforts in defense in this period

I was being semi-dramatic, semi-realistic, semi-satirical!

 

[RattsSSV]

Big whiffer by Ebs.

 

[RattsSSV]

Hamhuis from the point. 4-0 Canada.

4:0 pesky Canadians

5:0 HAHAHA! I'm gone... See ya!

 

[RattsSSV]

Wow, Spezza again. Big push into the net. 5-0.

 

[oXo Cube]

McLellan usually calls off the dogs with a big lead, right?

 

[RattsSSV]

5:0 HAHAHA! I'm gone... See ya!

Just one of those games.

Cheers

What the **** is wrong with our defence?

We'll see about that. Some say this is the worst team, that has ever been sent to the WCH.

P.S. Bye!

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Knew this was gonna be a bloodbath, Canada just have such a great team this year.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Poor Muštukovs,he didnt deserve this.

 

[mattcookefan]

you know what they say, a 5-0 lead is the worst lead to have

 

[Budddy]

Can't they play something different than the Sheepdogs after every Canada goal?

 

[Dallas Winston]

Does the WC have secondary assists?
