Scoreless tie!

 

[Jukurit]

Easy win for Latvia.

 

[ijuka]

Latvia 5-1

 

[Namejs]

If Finland loses in regulation, they will play in the relegation round even if they beat Sweden.

If Finland loses a single point against Latvia, they will have to beat Sweden if Latvia beats Germany.

So there's the entire tournament at stake here for Finland.

We have been mostly dogshit, so I'm not going to imply any of this is likely to happen, but it might be something that adds extra pressure on the Finns, if they can't get an early lead and the game is close early on.

Easy win for Latvia.

Finn bros, this surely isn't your best WJC team, but where is your sisu?

 

[LaMasquerade]

Jussi Jokinen (assistant coach) should step up and prepare the team MENTALLY. This shitty perf is not about tactics, and coach clearly doesn't understand that. Obvious from his comments and actions.

We take so many nonsense shots.

Getting shots on net and grabbing a rebound, or scoring on a lucky or intentional deflection works in this sport.

Shoot the puck.

Yeah but then you need some netfront presence. Powerplay now.

 

[Luolis]

Finland just has superior individuals. Now they have to find the way to get it on the scoreboard.

 

[Artorius Horus T]
