darksabre Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Sabres-esque powerplay. Just trying not to give up a shorty :lol: I just re-watched his move. What patience on the breakaway. Let's go Latvia!! That line change trick play is awesome. Quote
Jsixspd Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 I definitely want Ted to be our coach! Man, if he mapped out the play for that Latvian goal, it was genius! Quote
darksabre Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Can we just waive the Sabres and sign the Latvian team? Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Can we just waive the Sabres and sign the Latvian team? Yes but let's keep Moulson and Hodgson. Outside of that totally okay with this idea lol Quote
Jsixspd Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Holy cow, even sandbagging at the end - Latvia ALMOST got a breakaway shot on goal. I can't believe it's tied after 1 period. Quote

Crosby missing off the crossbar was key. That first period could have gone completely different if he scores early. Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Can we just waive the Sabres and sign the Latvian team? I was thinking the same thing! Trade the entire roster...draft like a mofo the next 2 years....bring the Latvian team over for $50 million...seriously. Latvia has a bunch of skill guys who are just wanting to make life miserable every time Canada has the puck. The body contact is beautiful. Doesn't have to be a huge hit, just make them know they are going to suffer for 60 minutes. Quote

It would never happen but holy cow would it be awesome if it did. Quote
respk Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Great start. Shots 16-5 Canada and score is tied 1-1. Really pulling for Latvia as I love underdogs. The longer Latvia can hang close the tougher it gets for Canada. Latvia has nothing to lose. Canada loses and they might as well join Russia in Siberia. Anybody watching How is Girgs doing? Quote

Girgensons is everywhere. He doesn't have the scoring touch I wish he did but his pursuit is great. Quote

Kind of makes me wish Ted had taken a briefcase full of blank contracts over to Sochi with him - so he could sign the lot of them - LOL Quote

Girgensons looks fantastic Quote

"Go Ted, find me men of conviction." If....If, by some miracle, Canada loses, it will be Carey Price's fault. Dude can't stop bobbling pucks. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 So you guys want the tank to go another five years then? Quote
Derrico Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Tavares goes down, the tank lives on!! Have to give this Latvian tender credit, he's played well Quote
sabre snipe Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Girgs almost with a nice assist, then takes a penalty right after :( Quote
darksabre Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Canada found themselves. Latvia is in trouble. Quote
Jsixspd Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Brutal shot disparity - 30 to 8. At least Buzzard-beaked Bergeron took a shot to the back of the head at the Latvian net - and he doesn't have Chara's skirts to go hide behind. LOL now a slashing call against St. Louis for slashing at Girgs. That's the first time Latvia had taken the puck into Canada's zone in at least 4 minutes of game clock. Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Good penalty draw by Girgs. Hopefully Latvia can do something here Quote
Derrico Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Good penalty draw by Girgs. Hopefully Latvia can do something here Are there no other Canadians following along here?? Quote
Jsixspd Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Didn't go as hoped.... top notch NHL PK'ers out there for Canada. Quote
Guest Sloth Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 If Latvia some how pulled off an upset, would you guys rank that w/ college boys of the US upsetting the Soviets in the 80' olympics or maybe say a Latvian win is a bigger upset? Quote

Jsixspd Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 I would say so..... I don't know how they've managed to hang in this long. Quote
