Game Thread: Mens Quarter Final - Canada vs Latvia (or Lativa?)

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Are these Canadian shots high quality scoring opportunities, or is Latvia keeping them to the outside?

Couple real good chance, but a lot of them have been low percentage shots.

Biggest thing is probably how well the Latvian D and goaltender are controlling rebounds. Very few seconds chances.

Bartulis with a nice Gregory Campbell impression there.

For God sake, can we stop trying to pick corners and try and get an ugly goal? Get it on goal and look for a bounce. Keep looking for a tic tac toe job...

Thanks, watched Latvia a bit in previous games, they seemed like a small team, but very quick.

Canadians are throwing everything at the net, but the Latvians are stopping them from getting good screens or deflections. They've also blocked 14 shots (as of about 4 minutes ago).

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Wow that was close. Great play by the D to save that goal.

[wings-pens2166]

[Vadered]

For fucks sake, Canada, don't blow this, because if you lose then we are gonna get cocky and drop it too.

Kristaps Sotnieks is forever a Latvian national hero.

 

[craigk217]

LOL "latvia" chant sounds a lot like Crosby Sucks.

 

[sherbert1421]
