I would say so..... I don't know how they've managed to hang in this long.

 

N.O.L.A.N.

 

G.I.R.G.E.N.S.O.N.S.

 

...my homer comment for the month.

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?

 

Bigger.

 

Is it time to remove the interim tag?

Take the interim tag off for F's sake. This is supposed to be a 20-1 team in this game. They can lose 6-1 and it will still be an awesome effort given the start.

 

Right on.

 

Sabres-esque powerplay. Just trying not to give up a shorty :lol:

 

Exactly what I said as I was watching that PP.

Bigger.

 

And the anguish in Canada will be enormous.

 

Go Latvia go!

I think the upset would be of similar proportion to, or lesser than, USA / USSR. Latvia does have many KHL players, and that league is definitely better than the NCAA was in 1980.

Bigger based on the anguish that would happen in Canada. Canadians consider hockey theirs. To think that Latvia could beat them would be unthinkable to Canadians. The planes carrying the players back might not be allowed to land in Canada.

 

Right on.

Less probable, perhaps, but without the nationalistic impact. Last I checked, there isn't a war (cold or otherwise) between Latvia and Canada.

What happened? I'm at work and can only score watch

 

Latvia prevented a goal by a hand save, Getzlaf forgot this isn't a NHL game.
