Latvians trying to dangle Team Canada D-men ... and it results in a scoring chance. FML.

Why are the Canada forwards driving the net and ending up behind it? That's like driving the corners, go to the net!

If Latvia beats canada I'll give everyone who RTs this $100
Sucks that it's come to this, but he should be worried. Right now he'd be out $400,000 based on the RTs.

I was thinking they're missing a heart-and-soul guy like Doan or even Iginla. A lot of guys on the ice feeling that Olympic pressure for the first time, not enough leadership types to focus them.

IIHF fun fact: Players born after December 31, 1974 must wear a visor...which is why Getzlaf, Benn, Weber, and J Bou are wearing visors.

And why dusty Sandis Ozolinsh isn't, lol.

Maintain pressure and keep playing in Latvia's end. The Latvians are already pretty burnt out. Eventually they are going to start making more and more mental mistakes, and one long shift in that end could break it open for Canada.

Canada is playing just fine for the context, just haven't cashed in yet. If they make it I can guarantee they won't play at this level against the Americans.

Getzlaf and Perry and Nash seem to be the only forwards playing with any intensity

About time. Latvia dishing it out with no reply. Stick them right back. Crash the net.

Hughson is such a pro, there's no way I could say Poo-Jacks without snickering.
