WC: Apr 30 GDT - Latvia vs. Canada

[Everest]

I expect some problems for Canada. This game will end up tie 2-2.

Not a chance...later in the tourney Canada might miss Niedermayer...but for this game...I predict we score in the first 3 minutes of the game...and never look back!

Pride of Pitt Meadows! 1-0

 

[wassup77]

Great goal by Brendan Morrisoooooooooooon!

You're right, you never know but hey, they're already off to a good start!!!

 

[RorschachWJK]

A Latvian was tripped in front of the net just before the goal. No call.

 

[chicpea*]

1-1. Semijonovs off the draw.

 

[nikki9]

1-1, scratch that!!!

 

[chicpea*]

Dumb penalty on Smyth - negated a good chance for Heatley.

 

[nikki9]

Way to go Smith!!!

 

[RorschachWJK]

1-1. Semijonovs off the draw.

A nice goal too!

 

[Everest]

Dan Boyle looks great early on...Heatley flashed on a great set up from him.

 

[chicpea*]

A nice goal too!

For sure, but also piss-poor coverage on the side of the net.


Thornton's line looks unstoppable so far.

 

[nikki9]

Ha ha, McGuire has to throw in a diving comment!!!!

 

[Ola]

Ha ha, McGuire has to throw in a diving comment!!!!

Did he make a comment about the interference on the first goal? Otherwise he is just pathetic...

 

[nikki9]

Horrible Reffing!!!!

 

[chicpea*]

um, great call on Marleau.

 

[StickShift]

nice "high-stick" there, eh?

 

[nikki9]

Did he make a comment about the interference on the first goal? Otherwise he is just pathetic...

When the goalie for Latvia fell for the second time, McGuire implied that he took some diving lessons from the Czechs this year while playing in their Elite League, you gotta expect that from McGuire.

 

[Hockey_Nut99]

Were lucky Morrow didn't get called for highsticking their goalie in the head. Or I think it was Morrow?

Highsticking??? I didn't see any highsticking!!
