GDT: POL vs. LAT May 11, 2024

[legionista]

No need to be condescending, nobody who knows anything about WCs or Poland expected them to get destroyed by Latvia.

Don't be so sensitive guy, just enjoy some humble pie and enjoy the game.

 

[Namejs]

For the record, I think we will turn it around.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Humbling experience for Latvia.

 

[SoundAndFury]

In the first period, when Poland got their first PP, I thought "it's almost as likely Latvia scores SHG as Poland scoring PPG". At least that did hold true

I will even give Cukste credit for that center lane drive.

 

[PhysicX]

Not sure if watching Poland's powerplay or the Habs' PP.

 

[LKI]

Fun to see so many of the "Polish hockey experts" here who thought Poland would just lay down and let teams score double digits on them be so surprised.

But here we are, in an evenly matched contest with the 3rd place team from the WC last year. Even if Poland doesn't win this game, it will still be a big boost for the next game.

How many, bud? like 1?

Humbling experience for Latvia.

It's literally a Latvian hockey classic to nearly shit the bed against weaker teams

 

[aquaregia]

Wahey Poland have a goal off their own stick at last!

 

[PhysicX]

OMG. Finally one goal by Poland!!

 

[LKI]

omfg you can't make this up

 

[RobRayzor]

Bruh,Poland is getting all the luck today.

 

[PhysicX]

Let's be honest here. Besides the powerplay, Poland has been, so far, the best team in the third period. Obviously, that could change, but I'm proud of them. Gutsy performance.

Oh now just 1? lol Many more buddy

 

[PhysicX]

Hahahahahaha Abols just threw a right at the ref's face.

 

[Dofs]

Uugh, that hit of Abols might bite him...

 

[SoundAndFury]

Nice of Abols to avoid that 10 game suspension or whatever it is under IIHF rules

 

[GX]

Oh now just 1? lol Many more buddy

Welcome to the club. Just browse any GDT, when the likes of Latvia, Denmark or Norway face vs. Swedes, Canadians or the USA.

 

[PhysicX]

Uugh, that hit of Abols might bite him...

I wonder if it'll be looked at. I'm inclined to say no, but IIHF is usually stricter.

 

[WarriorofTime]

No Goal imo

I mean the ref who got it should be making the biggest beef here so if he let it go, I think everyone else will as well.

 

[RobRayzor]

they better count the goal now

 

[PhysicX]

No Goal imo

It's more, is a Latvian forward allowed to stand in the paint?

 

[Jussi]

Good goal.

 

[WarriorofTime]

shocker

 

[tobu]

That's allowed nowadays, it's the contact that's strictly looked at whether it impairs the goalie or not.
