Sweden should start falling as easy as the letts do each time they get a stick near their legs. Get som penalties and win ...
 
My stream lags constantly.

Otherwise, someone needs to put together a book on Latvia. Outline what their zone is, what plays can beat it, what personnel is needed for that. Any zone can be beaten.

If teams start adopting Latvian style defenses, it could have bigger implications on hockey paradigms generally speaking.

Nope, all credit to Latvia playing the collapsing all-in six goalie hedgehog to a tee and hope to win on penalties. They're playing a great game at not trying to win.

How I wish we played Switzerland instead who at least tries to win. So many KHL players and Latvia plays the bunker. Nice.

Switzerland? The same Switzerland that always played trap hockey against stronger opponents and hoped for 1:0 win? That Switzerland?
 
Stop blaming the refs. You wouldn't complain had it been the other way around. The Nyqvist penalty was a joke but otherwise I have no reason to complain.

We play like shit and when we do, we take stupid penalties. Not the first time and definitely not the last.

I'm sure will take care of business in the third.

Guys this isn't soccer where you can put 11 guys in your own end, parking the bus in hockey is actually really hard when the difference in teams is tremendous. How many times do teams actually pull it off? Especially in international hockey? You gotta respect that.

Exactly, and expecting team Latvia playing offensive hockey vs much more talented swedes is impossible. If "parking the bus" would be effective in hockey every underdog would do that.
 
No wonder latvias pp is ass when they put lefties on the left side and righties on the right for 2 mins on a 5on3. Thanks for that hehe
 
Thete are very few garbage teams in the WC (A). Latvia is not one of them.

If both teams got the same time to play together and get chemistry, Sweden probably wins 9/10, but here in these WC:s, I'd guess 7/10 is closer to the truth.

And underdogs always try/fight harder.
