If you guys bringing it up a russian ref judge a Russia national team It's fair to bring that game up aswell...

us guys? you mean Canadian fans?

Have they done that in this thread? I only see one Latvian fan bringing this matter up.

How many latvian players are ethnic Russians? Blame it on them. Latvia never had a chance. It's a fact.

There are 0 russians on Team Latvia.

We dominated Russia in the 3rd period and Russia scored 2 of their goals due to miscalled penalties, and we missed 10 minutes of powerplay. And yet the score was still just 1-3. So we definitely had a chance.

The odds on Russia after the 1st period were 1.40, with the implied probability of a draw or a Latvian win to be near 30% according to bookmakers.

Which is why I'm saying that not just the refs, who are prone to making mistakes, but the IIHF commission responsible for this sort of thing has been blatantly unfair in carrying out their decisions.

One of the two refs in the Latvia-Russia game was an ethnic Russian.

These sort of things are so easy to avoid. Yet they keep happening. So either they're blatantly incompetent or there is some other reason at play.

That is a very serious mistake.

it happen in the Sochi Olympic games, where Russia took a goal ... in a very discutable way against the US. And one of the referees was American !!

Even if the guy was honest, and honestly felt that it was goal / not goal ... it was in favour of his country and logical questions arise !!

They should REALLY avoir these mistakes.

Hehe.

No i ment you guys as you guys in this thread...

And tbh he got a point in that you should avoid refs from the same country judge your national teams... but then again you got to trust people to do their job without being corrupted.

 

[Alex K]

Kucherov - Gusev connection is insane

 

[JHB]

Hehe.

Should this be 5 players out or just 1? As in 2 or 10 penalty minutes?

well count me out also because i havent done it, you may want to go back over the thread.

I actually agreed with you guys................an ethnic russian ref made no difference on the outcome of that game.

I like the fans' singing

 

[mosare]

Pretty even game apart of the first 10 minutes

 

[Kshahdoo]

It looks like, Swiss are gassed.

 

[canswetoxic]

does it mean Swiss out of QF if they loses this one?

Switzerland is already qualified for the Quarters.

keep playing Josi... dude is a force

 

[NinjaKick]

refs missed a nice little elbow by the Russian player...

 

[Chimpradamus]

Russia is in a way quite fortunate they face both the Swiss and the Swedes on their back to back games. It really shows now the Swiss don't have nearly as much energy in this game as they had last night. I expect Sweden to play quite lazy hockey against Latvia tomorrow.

 

[Alex K]

Weak call

 

[torero]

To be honest, i never saw Russia playing with such intensity !

 

[Kshahdoo]

Well, they've still presented minor for Swiss.

 

[NinjaKick]

Josi is so smooth bringing the puck up the ice...

 

[NinjaKick]

Georgiyev's rebound control is switched on

 

[Alex K]

Congrats to Georgiev! He's the 1st star today, IMO.

 

[mosare]

Josi is such a stud!
