[Czechboy]

This Latvian goalie is high on the drama.lol

 

[Czechboy]

What a trickier.. someone get the Latvian goalie to emerg.lol

 

[vlady]

why do we always choke against Latvia and Germany?

 

[LKI]

JĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀ.
GUDI LETS GOOOOOOOOO

 

[Antiillafire]

why do we always choke against Latvia and Germany?

Because they have just as good of players as we do??? It’s not like we have a team full of bonafide nhl players. Even Canada only beat Austria by 1 and blew a 5-1 lead. The real question is why Ramsey doesn’t make any in game adjustments

He looked hurt to me. But he gets the win.

Exactly. Slovakia has more good players. Ramsey is useless.

 

[tobu]

Latvia advances if they beat USA in regulation and Slovakia looses to Sweden in regulation.
Slovakia advances Latvia doesn't beat USA in regulation, or if they don't loose to Sweden in regulation.

Gudlevskis was trolling , his plan succeeded

nah, in that case we would have a balanced head to head. But we are mostly losing.

 

[RobRayzor]

Who is booing the national anthem? Cmon now.

 

[Dofs]

OMG, Gudlevskis! What an amazing game, the hero of the game for sure. Why did he look like he was about to fall asleep in the second half of the game, though? Hope everything is ok with him.

 

[RKBoy]

bad game, bad result.. it is still in our hands though.

we should have won this, we just cannot go single tournament without dropping important points againts weaker opponent.. sadly.

Latvia advances if they beat USA in regulation and Slovakia looses to Sweden in regulation.
Slovakia advances if USA beats Latvia in regulation, or if they don't loose to Sweden in regulation.

We aint beating the U.S., no f***ing shot. We had our chance against Germany, we blew it.

 

[luiginb]

I mean Gudlevskis does have a 93,5 save percentage in his NHL career ...

Second sentence is incorrect. We advance if USA beats Latvia for 2 points too.

I do get a little personal enjoyment out of this win, seeing how you were shit talking our team.

Game starts at 0:0, thought yeah USA is the heavy favorite and they have a better seeding to play for.

Second sentence is incorrect. We advance if USA beats Latvia for 2 points too.

Yeah I edited with a fix

 

[Eye of Ra]

@Namejs congrats

 

[tuniak]

Why is the Latvian goalie making love to the ice after every save?

 

[kudla]

Forget the loss, let's pray Namejs comes back

 

[RobRayzor]

Definitely some micro-injury bothering him.
Look how hard it was for him to wake up after every shooutout attempt

 

[HockeyinLV]

Why is the Latvian goalie making love to the ice save?

Maybe because he might have an injury? Ever hear about those?

 

[vlady]

Latvia is dogshit whole tourney, but they show up in this game.

Also, we had no problem scoring right up until this game. It's just a very frustrating loss at a bad time.

Failing to capitalize on that late go ahead goal was also shit. How can you do that?

Taking a penalty in the last second of regulation. Why not? Let's make it a challenge.

Ref decides to give 2 PPs in OT to Latvia, but when Hrivik was held by the Latvian goalie, that was a time to call both players for some reason.

What the hell was Sukel doing in the shootout? Do we really have no better options?
