Were so dead. Hope we can score more than 1 and not let in more than 6, id be fine with that.

Damn, I'll be in the air for all of this, although the chances of this game being on tv in either Italy or Scotland were pretty low.

 

[Namejs]

Hopefully we can snatch a win here, so we could start the tournament on a positive note and continue building on from there.

Nah, just kidding.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

It's the most wonderful time of the year......

Ready to start!!!!

 

[NTDP]

Pumped for the tournament to finally start. I'll be keeping an eye on some of the Latvian players that play in North America throughout this game. On their pre tournament roster there were like 8 of them.

 

[SNMU]

Go Latvia!

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Parsons or Woll? I read an interview in the Calgary Sun and Parsons made it seem like he's going to play a lot but I haven't heard anything official.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Go Keller! And 'Murica!

I guess he needs game expierence to prepare against Slovaks, lets see how ready he is.

 

[Namejs]

Looking at the official lines now. Our coach is playing games with the Americans. That's all I'm going to say.

I have trust in Miļūns, for better or worse hes our best junior coach.

[Jaykay]

STARMAN finally threw in the towel and shaved his head, thank god.

 

[Namejs]

Looks like there's about 10 people in the stands.

United States of America's Defense doesn't look all that deep this year, Latvia is always tough to play against, but this game should end in victory for team USA.
