4 latvia

 

[Namejs]

It's going to be very close. The loser of this match won't make the play-off round most likely, so this game is crucial for both of the teams. Expecting a rough, physical game with lots of penalties.

 

[BalticWarrior]

C`mon boys make latvia proud!!

 

[Like Wall]

Germany is like Switzerland. You don't screw around with them.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Germany is like Switzerland. You don't screw around with them.

I think Nolan knows this,he should prepare our guys for a tough fight

 

[ozo]

I can see this being a low-scoring grind of a game.

 

[Maverick41]

I can see this being a low-scoring grind of a game.

I agree, I could see a 2-1 win for either team.

 

[Mestaruus]

One of the teams win in OT/SO, but hard to guess which one it will be.

 

[Sealink]

According to a Sport1-article (sorry, only in German) Akdag an Pietta will play tonight and Rankel and Schütz will pause.

I'm not sure, what to think about it...

 

[hs86183]

Lineups

Why are Schutz and Rankel scratched????

 

[BalticWarrior]

The most important game in the tournament yet for Latvia,we abolutley have to win this to be in QF

 

[Joey Banana]

Akdag is desperately needed to add some solid defensive depth. Reul and Lavallee will screw up big time with that amount of TOI against a team like latvia.

Ah, and if any other goalie than Endras is playing, we will lose.

 

[GermanLeaf]

We'll need Endras to steal this game for us. C'mon Germany.

 

[vsk92]

which german player is jewish?

The commentator said something about people saying he shouldn't want to play for germany

Kaufmann

 

[ByeBye]

Evan Kaufmann's grandparents survived the concentration camp if I remember correctly.

 

[TollefsenFan]

wohoo latvia scores

 

[GermanLeaf]

0-1 latvia

 

[v-man]

Well, Nolan's definitely not regretting taking a chance with Indrasis.

 

[Exique*]

Nicely put after a rebound!

 

[Like Wall]

I don't know, whether I should celebrate or fear, because yesterday Indrašis scored the first goal and it didn't end that good for us.

edit: BTW: Germany has a tradition of pretty good jewish hockey players before WWII. Maybe most mentionable is Rudi Ball @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudi_Ball

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

How didnt that go in

 

[Mara]

How wasn't that a goal?? What on earth happened, seemed like Endras had his stick down to prevent it but I didn't really get a proper look.

Nah, the puck just got stuck in the Latvian player's legs. Wow.
