I have no hopes for this game 5:1 Czechs book it.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Just heard that this games refferee will be bulanov scratch that 5:1 its gonna be 7:1,god i hate Bulanov with all i`ve got.

 

[Mirinho]

let's hope for atleast 1.000 spectators ... i hate hockeys in Globen this year - even EHT has better atmosphere

I imagine that our travelling contingent will make it happen.

Well, maybe cause of tickets there's not that big contingent this year travelling with the team but sure I hope there's good attendance.

Still few hours before the start- let the trolling commence!!

What has be done to you or Dinamo?
Some refs in KHL just have bad rep but I honesly don't think he's done something worse to Lavia than Schinder (or what was his name) and Rick Looker...

Hes about as bad as the ref that was in the game Latvia-Canada in 2006 wc in Riga.

 

[Latgale_fan]

I'm impressed by GalviņÅ¡ this far... of course hope IndraÅ¡is scores again but more important is can we stop their offense at, say, only 2 goals. If they don't score more than 2, we can get points here... as I doubt we can score much more against such a team like Czechs.
If we play like we played half a game vs Russia, we can get something here. If not, well... I at leat hope for these 2 goals for us

 

[Erathian]

I have no hopes for this game 5:1 Czechs book it.

Hmm, no. It will be much closer. Lets see.

 

[zorz]

another upset? well...

9 Milan Michálek - 14 Tomáš Plekanec (C) - 67 Michal Frolík
62 Petr Tenkrát - 46 David Krejčí - 73 Petr Průcha
42 Petr Koukal- 93 Petr Nedvěd (A) - 83 AleÅ¡ Hemský
22 Lukáš KaÅ¡par - 12 Jiří Novotný (A) - 88 Jakub Petružálek

Vondrka 13th fwd replaced by Koukal

Starting goalie will be Kovar not Stepanek...

and the score will be 3:1 for CZE

 

[Latgale_fan]

One thing's sure- we'll run and we'll hit. And we probably won't give much chance of PP to Czechs.... But will that be enough for anything?

In any case I hope Indrašis will score a beauty like vs Italy... We're all just in love with this guy

Im afraid not

 

[DraftEligibleOHL]

Latvia pulls the stunner here 3-2.

 

[Like Wall]

Everything will be clear after today's game. And we need a victory against Czechs not only for the sake of QF, but also because we've never won over them. Their castle has to fall, just like Swedish, Swiss, Russian castles did. They all will, even Canada and Finland, eventually. The question is - when.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Come on boys! Prove me wrong! Go,Latvia,Go!

 

[Alicat]

Hoping Krejci has a good game.

[BalticWarrior]

I think we haven`t beaten the us of a.yet.

 

[Reynys]

I think we haven`t beaten the us of a.yet.

in 2001 we beat them 2-0

 

[BalticWarrior]

in 2001 we beat them 2-0

Oh,ok.glad someone corrected me.

 

[Like Wall]

Russia - 2000, 2003.
Sweden - in 2009.
Switzerland - 2009.
USA - 2001

P.S. Were looking for the year numbers on wiki, and didn't notice someone had posted already. It's about a time we teach yanks a lesson again. Been a long time...

 

[zorz]
