They can do anything. It's IIHF.
I hope they do. I mean, if IIHF is working on losing any credibility, they must continue their hard work. They've went full mental with the crapload of amazing calls they've done at this WC.
We've shown quite a chaotic hockey ever since we miraculously won over Finland. We barely won over Kazakhstan. We have to play from the beginning to the end. And then all those penalties we made in the previous games. It is just too much. Don't misunderstand me - I want to see our team in 1/4 finals, but they have deteriorated somehow. We overrespected Russia and didn't show any respect to Belarus at all. After many years, the win streak over BLR has been broken due to our own stupidity.
You be the judge. I wouldn't be surprised if the Finns made it. You're just one of those teams that always make it. Hockey Gods favor you. Latvia still have to earn their sympathy.
I wouldn't be so sure... It's back to back games for us (and the game is at 16:45), so not much time to recover physically and emotionally. And the Switzerland will want revenge for Sochi loss. It will be tough as hell.
About the no goal.. I don't understand why they didn't review it? And they didn't even show replay on the cube in arena. Worst way how to loose. And frigging Kostitsyn skating to celebrate near our bench. Kinda was waiting for Koba Jass in the final draw going mental

no, they are under pressure from inconsistency in every single match. Poor management, nothing more or less.
yeh but their D is horrible. Besides Latvia might get angry and determined because of this loss and be a better team tomorrow (sorry but offense was horrible today). Think positively. lol

Naah, you are just overreacting. Yes, game against Russia, I agree. Other games, really where that close, because in this tournament there really wasn't a one game where our goalies played great.
About, didn't show any respect to Belarus. What do you mean? We played like always in the first period, from the defensie stand point.

No, that's a bad goal by IIHF rules. He's clearly in the crease at the moment when the puck entered the net.
From the twitter - how the referee saw the goal
He was going in and out. Nice that some Latvian homers made a screen shot at the moment when he was out and ignored all the other sequences.
Latvian player was in the crease = bad goal.
Read the quote from the IIHF rule book that was posted above.
Keep whining.
on the basis of previous decisions by refs. It's like Meija standing on a circles.
Also that doesn't change the strange fact that ref refused to call for a video replay, and replay did'nt show up on jumbotron. Obviously it's because that was a 100% good goal, goals like that are being scored all the time.
The fact that Belarus can't develop new talent, so they take some canadian guys to win games, makes me sick...

One skate for a split second, and he's not even interfering with the goalie. It happens fairly regularly on the PP (i recon we could find some examples also from this WC) and I don't see it called very often (and if it is called than there is a clear goalie interference).
