GDT: POL vs. LAT May 11, 2024

[Vikz]

Kinda sad for Poland because they really did very well and 1 point, while not nothing, doesn't do much for them in the grand scheme of things.

Well, unless Latvia continues at the same pace, 3 points would not make a difference either. Most likely, they will need to win the game against the other relegation candidate, and after today, it is France.

New to the international section?

A little bit.

 

[Eye of Ra]

This isnt the best team even by our standards were missing some very key players like Balcers, Balinskis, Bļugers, but even then its still Poland. Polish league is garbage, it shouldnt be this close.

The polish league is better than the latvian league.

Why so hostile? I just said they are improving.

English is not my first language, so I apologize that I'm sometimes not subtle or humble enough when I dont 100% concentrate on what I want to write up. But, yeah, I as an selfappointed expert on all Kazakhstan hockey on here, I strongly disagree with you about Kazakhstan improving as far as senior team is concerned.

The polish league is better than the latvian league.

Our roster isnt made up by players from the Latvian league though, is it? I dont get what this comment is implying.

3 points mean getting to OT is enough in such a scenario which is no small feat.

 

[Garl]

Don't sleep on the Kazakhs, they are getting better.

No they are not. At least not yet.

 

[Heia Norge]

Nice effort by Poland. Latvia had to work hard to get the victory.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Ah, what a shame! Don’t get me wrong, I like the Latvian team, but Poland has not won a game at this level of the worlds for 22 years, would have been cool for them!

They haven’t even played in the tournament in 22 years! So I’ll just take their strong effort and 1 point so far as a win.

The polish league is better than the latvian league.

As a latvian I sure wouldn't call Polish league garbage when our domestic league is a shitshow lol

 

[hidek91]

Wow, what a day, before going to Ostrava to watch POL - LAT & USA - GER, I expected the first game to not be even close given that we use players from the Polish League but I'm so proud of this team after the fight they put against Latvia! A huge point and a fantastic advertisement for Polish hockey, hopefully this will start making this sport more popular here

 

[ozo]

If I was Polish, I'd be proud as f*** seeing this performance from your team. Guys know they roles, put pucks in the danger area and work for each other. Riding your luck hard is no concern of yours, we had our share of good bounces last year and I felt 0 remorse too. Good luck further in the tournament and you owe us one point and I want it back.

 

[S E P H]

We're winning gold, did you lot see this performance? Uneffingbelievable! Amazing, but the PP was horrible to watch, that was IIIA level bad powerplay by us. Nonetheless, amazing game!
