GDT: WJC: USA-Latvia

[GermanSpitfire]

So we're talking shit about #2 now. Heh.

For a forward?

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

First Hodass, now Dookers. Latvia likes those scatological names.

 

[Chainshot]

Hotass, really??

Isn't it "Ho'd Ass"?

 

[Jukurit]

Latvia looking pretty good so far.
Let's Go Latvia!

 

[Chainshot]

For a forward?

(It's a scatological joke.)

 

[eojsmada]

US D corps is REALLY soft. Latvia is really taking it to them.

 

[jj cale]

I think US has the best chance of stopping Canada. I think they have a chip on their shoulder after a very unexpected loss in summer. They have a great squad!

Having said that, I think Latvia puts up a fight here and it'll be good.

5-3 US

First period is indicating a fight.

 

[GAGLine]

Is there a reason Jack Hughes wears #86 and Luke and Quinn wear #43? Is it because Jack has double the talent?

I don't know about Luke and Quinn, but Jack chose 86 because that's when his favorite song came out:

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Whistle was blown well before the puck went in. Correct call I think.

 

[Luolis]

Very good period by Latvia. Hope they can keep this up.

 

[RipsADrive]

Better game than I had expected to be honest.

Latvia is in this one.

 

[Namejs]

Nah, you're just pronouncing them in a scatological way, i.e., wrong.

Only saw the second half of the 1st period, we actually had more scoring chances, so that's encouraging.

We're also clearly bigger, which suits our defensive style very well.

 

[BigBadBoar]

When I compare the SWE-AUT game to this, Latvia has been many times better than Austria in the first period. The've been not only well organized, but also well skating and pretty physical 1 on 1.

I believe the second name is pronounced somewhat like Dookoors but with both "oo"s pronounced short, I believe. A bit like Duke-oors, but even shorter. Definitely no "Dookers".

 

[Juxtaposer]

Pretty bad first period for the Americans, especially the top nine. I thought the Stramel-Brindley line was the only one with anything going.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

That checks out, because Coors tastes like Duke-oors.

 

[Mickey Marner]

That was quick

 

[mk80]

Good way to start the 2nd period!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

What a goal. Hughes burned.

 

[snipes]

Beautiful goal by Latvia. Hughes got dunked on.

1-1

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

That's on Hughes

 

[CoSi]

Hughes is disinterested on defense

 

[Ace]

Luke Hughes…noted defenseman

 

[Juxtaposer]

Love that little pull up and pass by #9 on Latvia. Subtle little play and well-earned assist.

 

[Jukurit]

Is Luke Hughes always this terrible defensively?
