I expected this game to be a battle. Latvia never gave up against Canada and they play as a team - some solid players, too. Irbe plays with a ton of pride, too. Hopefully, USA pulls it out.

Great goal by Weight, redirect into the top far corner on a jumping pass from Cole, after some Weight moves at center ice. Goal scorers goal from a passer.

That's not Premiership - That's Champions League!!!
That is a much anticipated game, I tell ya. Imagine Rangers Vs. Devils in the Conference Final, game 7. (ok, maybe a bit of a leap of imagination. I mean... the Rangers?)
Well,i'm not too up on my football.Usually all i watch is the world cup.I should watch more,especially with the lock-out.petelars said:
Modano on his way to the locker room with what appears to be a upper arm injury. He took a cross check from a Latvia player which drew the aforementioned PP.

Very weak call against Latvia, that was a crosscheck maybe in women's junior hockey but not at WC tournament.
Two very iffy calls against Latvia in 2nd period, first ref blew whistle way too early and disallowed the Latvian goal which went in fractions later, then a clear goal was missed because because the ref didn't go upstairs to check it.
The refereeing is brutal.

Sounds like the Latvians are giving the U.S all they can handle,they've even had two goals dissalowed. They are usually very competitive.
The ice has definitely tilted in the US's favor in the 3rd. Irbe has come up big. Just stopped a two on one.
Hats off to the Latvians though - they are a very fast team that take full advantage of the larger ice surface. One break and they are right back in this baby.

This is extremely annoying. A hockey nation like the US should not get that kind of help from the refs.
Edit: who are the refs?

Final 3-1
From what I saw (17 mins on in 2nd per) US toyed with them. Any details on the first half of the game? Was it the same

Parrish with an empty netter.
US wins 3:1
Unbelievable game by the Latvians - they could have easily stole this game if it weren't for Conklin.

I agree.Pepper said:
Is the same problems that riefe major football tournaments rising in hockey as well? These so called "big nations" (I count Finland one of those) do not reserve this kind of help from referees. I´m still pretty worried - is this intentional?
The refs name was Schindler, not Conklin.Top Shelf said:
