good first period from canada. started off strong, kept the puck in the latvian zone. good puck pressure in the opening minutes. then they sorta fell out of the game plan and got caught running around a bit. the denfense looks a little shaky out there, but they will tighten up. it's quite obvious to see the latvians are in better shape as by the end of the 1st the canadians looked pretty tired. Marty looks fine out there. and the reffing was great as far as reffing goes. lets see how they come out in 2nd and 3rd.


i'm guessing a 3-1 game
 
i like the way canada is crashing the net. it's not very affective now, but soon the goalie will crack. but they can't get penalty's when they crash JOVO :madfire:

you gotta give the ref a break on that. in all fairness the latvian was hit with elbow an and he went down, the refs will almost always call that. even if marleau got a penalty for trying to stay on his feet. that just speaks vloumes about the way the europeans call the game. if marleau had have went down he the latvian might have got the penalty, but he decided to stay on his feet and got punished for it. it's pretty sad when you get punished for good balance and trying to stay on your feet. but after watching the women's championships and the U18's, this reffing has been great.
 
penalty coming up to latvia for tripping. canada has not had a good start to the 2nd period
 
A timely powerplay chance coming up. Canada needs to get there act back together right now!

Ok well, if you compare it to the women's....but still the ref could have made an appropriate call.

Wow that was sad. Thornton missed that wide open net. Good thing he was able to get the rebound.

meh he still scored. the puck ended up in the back of the net. that's what counts.
 
Ah, the ref is certainly not the worst I've ever seen, I'm just mad cause it caused Latvia to score, I'm just defending my country. Don't worry I know you're certainly not against them either.

That was a tough angle,on a quick pass...Nash and Thronton have been the best players in the game so far.
