GDT: WJC - Latvia vs Canada, Dec 27, 2023

[tictactoe]

losing a one-sided game against a team VASTLY superior in skill doesn’t have anything to do with heart.

It does not. Means Latvia does not belong there.. clearly.
So saying, Latvia - hang in there means zero value, its like saying hang in there to a punching bag.

A country of 8,000 registered hockey players versus a country of 500,000+. It’s David vs Goliath and Latvia has bent but not broken.

And Latvia at any event I have witnessed have never "folded" completely...

Lost... ?

Yes...

Given up... ?

Never... like their moxie as a hockey nation... great fans also...

God, how is Poitras so bad? He can’t do anything out there so far.

So it's not just me...

 

[Fraser28]

Sometimes Poitras just skates around with the puck without any clear plan, like his last shift was really poor

I get some Barzal vibes (not a compliment)

Barzal is awesome. Having an excellent year.

Cool. You go tell the young kids playing that they don’t deserve to be there because some random on a message board says so.

9 out of 10 times, Geekie finishes that.

There we go!

 

[John Agar]

Nice double bumper reverse play...

And solid one timer...

Very nice...

 

[Chainshot]

Allard is going to get that Tanner Pearson type OA draft pick, isn't he?

 

[GrizzLeaf]

Nice!!

 

[Chainshot]

Latvia might want to try lacrosse with that sort of stick work.

 

[deleted user]

Yikes. Could have been uuuuugly.

 

[John Agar]

That is nasty...

IIHF might review that for suspension...

Or not...

Refs might just boot him...

I would say closer to 99 out of 100.

We would beat them at that too

Maybe more like Sokolov but hes definitely doing everything he can to be noticed in a positive way

Let's review this.

 

[Chainshot]

Major called. I expect they keep it at 2 since it's on the shoulder. Still way too high.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

Close to the face, there

 

[Dominance]

Celebrini served that on a silver platter

 

[RobRayzor]

if every penalty needs a review,they’re not doing their job…

 

[Junohockeyfan]

After review, the play is called offside. Thank you.

 

[Macallan18]

Let's review this.

Why you need to take the dog for a walk?
