WC QROUND: May 8 GDT - Canada vs. Finland

[Macman]

They would have made it to the 2nd round by beating slovenia, but Latvia more than likely would have kicked their asses hard. You are underestimating Latvia a bit too much here.

And I think you're underestimating that junior team, which was filled with not-too-distant-future NHL stars, even superstars.

While the current team is loaded with present day stars & superstars.

That U20 team could have beaten Latvia but that's it.

I would not be so sure of that even. Latvia actually would have beaten the US if not for the two disallowed goals. They also were not bad at all against Canada. Give them some credit.
