IIHF World Championship in Switzerland (5 Viewers)

[pitbull]

The NHL thread shows that there are some hockey fans in juventuz and i've seen many people here from countries who participate in hockey WC. As for me, the game of the tournament so far was played yesterday, when Latvia earned two points against the fancy swedes, though, i feel bad for the guy who got his jaw broken in pieces yesterday. So are there any members who watches this tournament?

I've been following the score online because it's not televised here. I might try to stream it if possible.

I hope you guys enjoyed the victory, it might a few decades before you get a freebie like this again

Streaming hockey? Good luck catching the puck.

Well we enjoyed it indeed, can`t remember last time when such many people went to swedish embassy to put down flowers and sing latvian anthem
Of course our max right now seems 1/4finals, and that will need such performances as yesterday against Germany and Swiss (the only ones who have chance to have better support from the stands ) and firstly Austria in the last group match, but who knows, whole country is supporting our guys. Swedes may get a revanche this year if everything goes fantastic for us.

All the good players are still in the NHL playoffs. The US team is pretty much garbage players from the Kings and Islanders.

I'm pretty sure Canada's got this one in the bag.

So Latvia goes in the next round after tough victory against Austria, their goalie was a lion today. Good match coming later in the evening, USA against Sweden, if everything goas well for USA, than we will finish second in our group, higher than swedes. And great that there is Russia in the next round to meet, no matter tommorow or later, that should be something :xfinger:

We won Converted a 2-5 deficit to a 6-5 win in sudden death.

On a side note, that Martins Karsums guy needs to be suspended. He made yet another brutal attack on a player.

well i don't consider his power play brutal. the swedish guy knew that he is at the back, but still choosed to go into the broadside (that's the right word?) with knees bended and wanted to do a cheeky move, but it didn't work out. If he would have normally played in that situation, he never would've gotten anything serious. As for the austrian, there were really no 5 min foul with sending off till the end of game - he avioded austrians move and pushed the opponent, as the austrian guy was the one who wanted to push Martins into the broadside. It may look bad in replays, but if you can catch the whole episode not just the end, you will see, that Karsums didn't try to hurt him. But whatever, he is allowed to play in second round.

Yeah, we'll see how things go.

canada cannot play with it's best cuz it's the playoff period (like always) so i expect russia to make some damage.

 

[Zé Tahir]

We just lost in Sudden Death to the Russians.

 

[pitbull]

hah, screw you swiss, you ain't got no chance against Masalskis! now there is france to beat (won't be easy, but 3 points is a must in such situation), and we pretty safely can say that latvia is in the quarters the group looks extremely interesting, if we don't fail, one of swiss/sweden or even usa may stay out. :xfinger:

We've got depth, don't worry.

We've got depth, don't worry.

well..i don't think your D is so good but we shall see...russia is decimated by the playoffs as well.

 

[pitbull]

great game against france, 7:1, destroyed them completely. much more will be needed against russia, hopefully we'll be able to do some damage there. 4 wins in a row for Latvia! Dievs svētī Latviju!

 

[blondu]

good luck it will be an interesting match...i saw a hot russia today with the states.
