GDT: [WJC] Latvia vs. Finland, 6pm EST 9/8/22

The benchmark for me is that Finland should win this by 6 goals or more. Otherwise it'll be a slight disappointment.

Biggest Finnish betting site has it:

Finland 1.04
Latvia 22.00
OT 15.00

That's on about same level as Manchester City vs the weakest team in the Premier League.

Thank you for Posting the Line Up @Jukurit.

I’ve seen a couple of Posts hoping for Lambert to have a poor tournament.

I’ll never understand why some people cheer for Prospects to stumble or fail. No matter which Team drafts a Player, I always want to see them reach their potential.

Strong youth makes for a better NHL.

What a tough start for Latvia the first two days. Back to back against Finland and Canada.

It's good for a team that isn't a gold contender. Get the impossibles out of the way and focus on not getting relegated against the other teams.
 
ESPN baited me into thinking I could watch this on ESPN+ so I renewed it :(

Something with Nurmi, doesn't impress me one bit. His passes are often weak and he doesn't seem to be overly confident or brave.
I'll give him two or three games more to change mind. Because he needs to show he's worthy playing with Niemelä.
Jurmo looks a bit shaky with the puck in the beginning as well. But i guess that this is to be expected from some players.
