Damn bad goal for Latvia to give up

 

[Chainshot]

Really nice backhand by Lucius.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Great goal

 

[jj cale]

Chaz.

 

[LKI]

Duuude... wtf was that #5 ?

 

[Namejs]

Well Abols as a head coach definitely deserves recognition. Latvia always had this "whoever coaches some other junior Latvian team" mentality when appointing head coaches. Tambijevs is probably the only one of the past coaches who could hold a candle to Abols, and even he was nobody when he coached the U-20. Finaly we have a coach with actual big league and international experience. And even if it just coinsided with a deep team once in a while, he still should be acknowledged.

We're usually well-coached.

And Abols is a top notch coach, absolutely.

Still, the extreme forward depth we have this year coupled with several big, puck-moving defencemen and competent goalies is extremely rare for a Latvian side at the junior level.

The bottom line is that this Latvian team is actually pretty good.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Just tuned in. 2-2? What the hell?

 

[Luolis]

Bit too easy goal for the goalie. Latvia has come back twice. Lets see if they do it again.

 

[ORRFForever]

Latvia on their heals.

 

[jj cale]

Watchng Stramel skate and turn is well, not awe inspiring.

 

[ORRFForever]

Bit too easy goal for the goalie.

If you're looking to blame, you have to go with the young D-Man.

 

[MM917]

Damn another undeserved goal

That will probably be it for Latvia's chances.

 

[jj cale]

That'll do it.

 

[Luolis]

Aight thats game. Good effort by Latvia but not quite enough.

 

[GX]

Terrible giveaway and lazy follow-up by Lavins

 

[ORRFForever]

American pressure is just too much - leading to endless giveaways.

 

[jj cale]

Damn another undeserved goal

That will probably be it for Latvia's chances.

How can it be undeserved?

 

[MM917]

How can it be undeserved?

Lucky bounce, wasn't created by anything quality the US team did

 

[Luolis]

If you're looking to blame, you have to go with the young D-Man.

Yea d-man f***ed up for sure. Still, thats the kind of shot you have to save if you are trying to upset US as Latvia.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Latvia needs a quick one now. Get the Yanks doubting then maybe then can tie it up.

 

[Chainshot]

Weird that Cooley didn't get called there in front of the Latvian net.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

USA taking control now

 

[jj cale]

Lucky bounce, wasn't created by anything quality the US team did

Shit happens you still have to put the puck in the net. it's a game of bounces sometimes.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

US has been dominant since first period....

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Snuggles is looking good. So glad the Blues got him.
