GDT: germany vs latvia

[Vikz]

They have been talking out of their ass the entire tournament.

They don't know a thing about Latvian hockey, which would not be that bad, if they weren't making stuff up. The whole tirade about leaving KHL as a major blow to Latvian junior hockey was repeated twice and it literally could not be further from the truth. That whole system produced like 1 or 2 national team players during its entire existence. Leaving the KHL has been a major boost to Latvian hockey at all levels, with almost immediate results.

We're not scrambling to rebuild our programme, it's never been at a better state than now.

So, yeah, it is annoying listening to them as a Latvian fan.

I dont watch the Canadian broadcast, but if its Gord Miller commenting there, this is funny. There was a whole video segment during the last WC about him going to Irbes place, them being such close friends and so on, walking on the beach and driving on quadricycles. Maybe they should have spoken about hockey instead, cause Im pretty sure that Irbe is not the one who told Miller how bad our hockey is without KHL.

As for the game itself, I think everyone let out a massive sigh of relief after that first goal, not just the fans, but the players as well

Let's see how the game unfolds now

I guess Rolovs isn´t the new Merzlikins...

 

[RobRayzor]

Ouch.

 

[Krispy]

I guess Rolovs isn´t the new Merzlikins...

That was something Merzlikins sometimes concedes, so maybe there is still hope.

Hate the announcers for this game, they make it seem like Germany is much better than this Latvian team. When in all honesty, Latvia has the better team. Germany even lost to this Latvia in the pre tournament games.

As a German, I knew this game would be tough can’t believe Gord Miller and Mike Johnson are belitting Latvia like this.

Germany got LUCKY against Finland.

they didnt score a goal in over 300mins lol there just being honest . gord miller one of th ebes in t he buisness

 

[Pieck]

so if Latvia wins, they all finish on 3 points

- Finland 4-0 Latvia
- Germany 4-3 Finland

Finland finishes as +3

Latvia is -4 coming into this game, Germany is +1.

If Latvia wins by 2, Latvia finishes on -2 and Germany on -1

So Latvia needs to win by 3 to advance ?

Yes, or Latvia wins by less than 3 and Finlamd gets a point

 

[stastny12]

Here we go. Keep the momentum Latvija!

 

[RobRayzor]

Are we expecting a thriller in the last round?

 

[Luolis]

Wow i forgot games were on today and what did i come to see? With this result tomorrow's Finland-Sweden game will matter even more.

Also goddamn the seagull crying next to the mic is annoying

 

[Antiillafire]

Lutz is such a disappointment

 

[Krispy]

Dwayne ROLOVSon

 

[Antiillafire]

Here we go. Keep the momentum Latvija!

You want to play Finland?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Germany should just allow Latvia to score a bunch of goals, and hope Sweden wins against Finland in regulation tomorrow.

 

[stastny12]

You want to play Finland?

Tbh, I don´t care. This year everything but final is gonna be disappointment for me. And if we want to be there, we have to beat the best. But to answer your question, I believe we can get through USA tomorrow (after what I saw their yesterday´s performance against Czechia) and then I rather face Latvia.

 

[Oberyn Martell]

typical german youth team. bad at everything and dumb as hell

 

[Lambo]

It must also be said that Germany often plays beyond its circumstances. Despite all the improvements in recent years. One should not forget that Germany often acts beyond its means.

 

[RobRayzor]

shoot the puck and goals will come!!

 

[stastny12]

 

[vlady]

You want to play Finland?

at least we can cheer for Slovakia against the US. Either way we will need to beat the big teams to get a medal. I am not scared of this Finnish team.

 

[Luolis]

Germany should just allow Latvia to score a bunch of goals, and hope Sweden wins against Finland in regulation tomorrow.

Germany can at maximum lose with the difference of two goals or they're out nonetheless due to tiebreaker rules. Looking tough for your boys :I

Germany could still get points against Canada. Just sayin', anything is possible

They always have the option of getting a point against Canada. Then, they can loose by 20-1 today, wont matter

The chances of that happening are extremely slim, 1 in 50 maybe.
