I didn't see the game, but based on the comments here, it all leaves a bad taste...come on, two disallowed goals. Jumalauta!

Edit: I hope Latvia's coach logs a complaint against the reffing. This Schindler character has had sub-par performances before too, but this time it seems a bit too much to stomach.

What does "Jumalauta!" means? My granny often says that to me :dunno:
 
Don't know what Sindler is doing in the world championships. His standard is not even close to SEL standard. Seen him destroy games before, get rid of him I say.

It's a bad word basically :) It doesn't sound like much If I translate it, but it really is a pretty powerfull word in the Finnish language.

So you have Finnish background. You must feel a bit uncomfortable watching tomorrow's game then ;)

Haha, well no. Since most of my friends are Finns I have to cheer for Sweden so thats no problem :snide:

We like to trashtalk alot every year when Finland faces Sweden :biglaugh:

I was hoping for Finland to win World Cup though after I got so dissapointed by Sweden.

:) I actually met some Swedes just before the World Cup final started at the ACC, and they all hoped for Finland to win it. I'm sure though, that they had bought the tickets thinking they'll see Sweden play Canada or the US. Those were my predictions also.

I think your team has the edge this time. Team Finland has not been very convincing yet IMO, whereas team Sweden has geled nicely.
 
it's weird but on a Russian forum, there are 171 replies in the LAT-USA gamethread whereas there are only Russians there. the Americans don't seem to care, neither do the Canadians and all the other Swedes and Russians and Finns and Czechs and ... from here don't seem to care either

Well, USA vs Latvia is not very exciting game, will probably be more replies as tournament progresses.

maybe they're not much for forums in canada/america :dunno:

even though its a fact that americans don't care much for hockey...

here in Sweden people are starting to lose interest for hockey too. Everybody are talking about soccer nowadays :shakehead

Not so sure its for lack of caring,but the time difference doesn't allow for them to be near a t.v. or compute to follow the games. Everyone is at work or school.

Who the hell cares about shool or work when its HOCKEY on TV? :biglaugh:

I was "ill" during the World Cup and stayed up all nights watching the games in Canada :innocent:
 
I will now proceed to add 100 posts to this thread to reach our quota.




Nah, nevermind, I'm an American, I'm far to lazy.

And what are you folks doing on this hock-key board anyhoo? There's more important things going on like the Kentucky Derby and Poker. Sheesh.




No, like was mentioned, US/Latvia isn't, how do we say it, "exciting." I would suspect Thursday will be better and if the U.S. is put into a position of medaling, it will be much better. Heck, I might even get excited.

Go USA

Ain't nothing hockey related on TV here in the states. We just have re-runs of some classic 1979 NY Yankees games, Poker, and "PTI."

Thats a shame. Its sounds wierd that not one single TV-station has bought rights to show the worlds :eek:
Poker is not even fun to watch anymore..does poker really get high ratings over there?
 
i feel bad for the americans that need to watch that poker crap instead of hockey.

It's a huge craze around here that boomed when ESPN put it on primetime and a few networks have their own shows.

I don't think anyone picked up the worlds because well it's really a secondary tournament when the playoffs are going on. I'm not really surprised no one has picked it up. NBA playoffs and MLB season in full swing has the sports channels locked up during the week.
