GDT: Group B - May 10 - USA vs Latvia

[Namejs]

We look more coherent, more confident and definitely less afraid of pressuring them when compared to the Finland game.

I don't know why, but we've never had any respect for the Americans since 1997 and it's a big reason why we've had so many close games against them. We truly believe that we can beat them.

Also, obviously, the Blueger addition has been crucial. As I said before, it adds an entire offensive unit and we have 3 decent lines now instead of two.

 

[BalticWarrior]

From what the media has been saying here in the past 10 days or so, he is gone overseas already.

Anything specific about Columbus or just generalized rumours?

Funny thing is - pound- for- pound, US has more pure skill in their roater than Finland.

He still has a contract with Lugano for 18/19, so it should be an NHL side buying it out.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Teddy Blueger addition is huge. I cant stress this enough.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Fuuuuck yeah!!!

 

[RobRayzor]

Let's go!

 

[BalticWarrior]

Kinkaid is not a very good goalie...

 

[RobRayzor]

Does Anders Lee have any Latvian relatives? I mean he has helped us twice already

 

[BruinLVGA]

Anything specific about Columbus or just generalized rumours?

I looked into it better and it appears that it's only rumors generated by journalists here. They're hinting about the fact that Elvis wants to give it a go (with Columbus) and he will ask the club to free him from his contract. They say they (journalists) asked Columbus and they got an answer that Merzlikins is under contract with Lugano till 2019 and that's where things are (= this is basically a "no comments", really).
So nothing solid.

Kinkaid is not a very good goalie...

He's been riding a hot streak in this tournament, but he certainly still has some flaws. Can be too overaggressive at times and find himself easily out of position.

 

[BalticWarrior]

We look like a completley different team.

 

[Retroglyphs]

Holy mackerel! What's going on in Herning?!

 

[BalticWarrior]

Oh come on ! Enough with the injuries :///

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

US dzone looks pretty porous

 

[BalticWarrior]

Phew, Abols is fine. Carry on.

 

[theslatcher]

Looks like Latvia looked at Denmark yesterday and went "Hey, we want to do that too!"

 

[BalticWarrior]

Holy mackerel! What's going on in Herning?!

We got gud

 

[BalticWarrior]

Elvis. King is back,baby!

 

[Better Call Sal]

I wish I could watch, my damn non-hockey-loving company doesn't have NHL Network.

 

[RobRayzor]

Kreider is the new Swift? (Korean Swift)

 

[AmericanDream]

what the f*** are these idiot refs doing out there??? this has been such a horribly officiated game with brutal calls on Team USA for things they didn't even do...my God this is pathetic

 

[QuietContrarian]

Another upset coming, anyone notice how they always come straight after each other.

 

[AmericanDream]

Don't be such a crybaby,always blaming the refs.

are you kidding me? your damn goalie jumped at Lee, then acts like he got shot and Lee got the penalty...Ferraro is saying the same thing - this team is a bunch of actors and the refs have been horrid.

I said team USA has played like shit, so this is on them until they end this farce and step up...but how can you not see the horrible calls being made...and the penalty on the 2 Latvians colliding but called on the US was priceless as well..

 

[AmericanDream]

thank God, finally calling a penalty here, I have seen less holding and grappling at a WWF event...
