GDT: USA - Latvia bronze game

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Shouldn’t they blow the whistle if puck hits someone hard in the face?

Head is not fallen off, Al good

 

[DethOfDragnz]

I am going to be cheering for Latvia I want them to get their first ever medal!

[ORRFForever]

Now THAT is a penalty.

 

[ORRFForever]

2nd period's a bit of a dud.

 

[Channelcat]

Does Latvia have problems with alcoholism? Just curious.

If Finland was playing in this bronze-game hardly anybody would care about it but if there had been a playoff-format in the 80s and Finland had played in a bronze-game people would have cared very much.

Jhat must be the situation in Latvia.

Latvia doing what they have to do - keeping it close.

Neither side had many chances in the 2nd. Again, the period was a dud.

If the U.S. gets up by 2, this is over. If Latvia keeps it close, they have a chance.

 

[ORRFForever]

Latvia's PP a dud.

 

[RobRayzor]

Latvia's PP was a dud.

It used to be the best for many straight years with 20-25% conversion,but in recent years it’s just horrible.Bob Hartley and Ted Nolan knew how to make them convert those PPs

 

[ORRFForever]

U.S. takes the lead.

 

[RobRayzor]

Imma repeat myself. Latvia can’t catch a break lol

They looked TIGHT - like they were scared to make a mistake. Now that the U.S. is in the lead, they won't have a choice but to loosen up.

3-2 USA. I think that is it, I somehow don’t see Latvia scoring again.

Not sure that is embellishment. ???

 

[ryan callahan]

lmao what a joke. Referee has never played hockey before clearly. Idk how Grimaldi was supposed to defy the laws of physics and not fall there.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Why even call either of those?

I don't think Grimaldi is flopping and risking a turnover right in front of his own net.

Agree,for 2nd straight game one good period and then just no effort in 2nd and third

No, just tripping. Another of many weird calls across all games at this tournament.

 

[RobRayzor]

The game is on!!

 

[ORRFForever]

Latvia ties it.

you were saying?

Spoke too soon!! Did not see this coming at all, the US team had gradually imposed itself. I still predict Latvian heartbreak, but good fighting spirit from the Latvians.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I was just thinking that even though the idiot Quinn didn't replace DeSmith he was probably going to win. And then DeSmith blows another one. Petersen should have started. I think Latvia has 10 shots.

That was a blatant dive. Or his legs are made of cotton.
