I'm not too worried. The Latvian goaltending has been pretty brutal.

That goal against just woke up the Russians.


The Latvian coach looks like David Spence.


Damn, everything is going in now.

LAT-VI-A! LAT-VI-A! LAT-VI-A!

And that right there folks is why Russia are not the favorites. They've got amazing skill up front but their back end and goaltending are suspect at best.

I like the 2100h Pacific start time for a hockey game. So this is what it is like for games starting at this time in the Central and Eastern time zones.

Talk about lots of goals to start the 3rd period, five goals in 3:35.

I'm more worried about Sweden than Russia....equally good offense but better defense and goaltending.

It would be a shame if Canada and Russia didn't meet these olympics. Both teams are loaded right now, there aren't very many elite players in the world that would be missing from that game.

I cannot wait to see Kovalchuk and Afinogenov trying to kill Team Canada's power plays.

Ya me too. The Swedes are a really well-rounded team and plus, they're the defending gold medalists.

Yep, not so worried about them now. Good on Latvia. Too bad they got all those lame penalty calls. Is "hooking" the only allowed penalty?

based on today neither Russia or the US are looking very formidable at this point

US can barely score and probly allowed more chances than they created

and while Russia can score, they gave up a bunch of chances to Latvia

things can change as the tournament goes on, but looking good for the red and white after today's games

looking forward to seeing sweden tomoro

So in terms of Latvia vs Norway, what are your thoughts about which would've been a tougher match for Canada?
