What a wild swing of events! Latvia defends the 5 on 3 AGAIN and scores a miracle burble goal to make it 3-1. Latvia going on the PP after commercial. Shots 30-5. getting late in the 2d period

primary assist for Stenberg. Latvia took a penalty then halfway through it they had too many men on the ice. then they held Sweden shotless on the whole PP and Swedes scored right after. But they are challenging Stenberg's point for offside ...

... it's offside. I thought it was in real time too. oh well. half the game still to go!

Was a nice dish from behind the net though. But yeah, that was offside.

Mateiko gets Latvia on the board. 1 goal on 4 shots now. Sweden has 30.

Lindstein had those three whiffs in the first half of the period but otherwise he looks Petro-lite to me. Poised stick.

WOW 3-2 holy shit. Lindstein not to blame there thankfully

Latvia rings the crossbar on the PP and then a couple min later Mateiko scores again and we have a game.

Washington has some nice prospects in this tourney. Hutson, Leonard, Mateiko for Latvia, Sikora for the Czechs, Muggli for Swiss (who lost the game the other day), and Satan on Slovakia

Was curious about Mateiko, he's been really good for Latvia. Muggli has been a pretty big disappointment in the games i've watched. Was curious about him so keyed on him a bit. I can see why he was drafted, he fits that new age defenseman, he just has made alot of mistakes this tournament. Good skater though. They most likely wont need him to hit anyways since they have C. Hutson - who has looked really dynamic. I haven't caught many of the Czech games sadly, caught almost every other game.

I’m still kinda new here so what’s a burble goal?

The Czech games are wild because two of them have been games against teams with 2 big Blues prospects each, and even when they play Kazakh or Swiss there's still 4 guys to key on. And they're all highly active. Jiricek just getting his legs under him this tourney is allowing more focus on the other guys

It burbled by the goalie, and the word conjures in your mind exactly what that is lol

They’re a really impressive group.

That org is doing so well in so many ways.

I’m glad they’re in the other conference lol.

Stenberg repeatedly robbed by Feldbergs and the post

update: Stenberg continues to be robbed like three more times. Shots were 16-1 in the period then Latvia almost tied it with their second shot. This is the tensest blowout ever

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Stenberg is going to be an absolute terror once he adds some muscle and fine tunes his game down low.

 

[execwrite1]

The IDIOTS at NHL Network just pulled the plug on Sweden/Latvia with three minutes left.

MORONS!!!

 

[STLegend]

Wow 1 goal game in the closing minutes of the 3rd and they change the game... that's some bs

 

[PocketNines]

tense til the final whistle. shots 50-13. incredible netminding by Feldbergs. He robbed Stenberg like 5 times in the third alone.

guys we have two impact pieces in Lindstein and Stenberg

I see and yeah that’s about what I thought. Lol

I’ve never played the game before so I didn’t know if it was a term that folks brought up in the culture knew or if it was a typo. I can be dense though….

Here's my Colin Ralph is HUGE post for the game.

Here's my Colin Ralph is HUGE post for the game.

Is he playing? I tuned in briefly but thought they had benched him

 

[StlBigFly]

nvm

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

He's playing. He was on the ice when Hagens scored the second goal. You could tell because he was HUGE.

Man, Ryan Leonard is going to be such a good player.

 

[LGB]

You're right. Turned it back on and he's out there

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

I can definitely see the Parayko comparisons for Ralph. He's going to need some time but I'm intrigued.

 

[STL fan in MN]

I’ll never understand why they schedule these games for 2 hours, 30 minutes. A regulation game takes around 2 hours, 45 minutes. So they keep running into this issue where one game starts before the other is over.

But for the love of God, stay with the game that’s 3-2 late in the 3rd over the first few minutes of the next game!

But the next game involves the US so…I guess I get it. They even tried to justify it. “Our team, our guys”. Something like that. Thankfully found the end of the game on ESPN+.

Glad Sweden hung on but Latvia made a statement in this tourney, especially Eriks Mateiko.

 

[PocketNines]

He could play two more college years after this one and then maybe step right into the lineup like Parayko in his D+4 ...

Somehow Pronman (laughably) had Jecho ranked higher than Stenberg in the Blues pool.

I make up a lot of words because words are like paint

and also because all words are made up
