and time for the first USA´s PP

 

Ralfs Freibergs with an absolute "darwin-award" Stupid Interference foul in the offensive-zone send his team to 4 against 5 play at 13:34

[hckošice 14,932]

looking for a bet hint ? you can certainly put some bucks on Šilovs being awarded the best goaltender of the tournament ... maybe even this WCh MVP..

 

He is having a tourney of his life...

 

Saved Latvia on the PK

and is leading again !!!

 

16:08 unusual blackout in the US defence and just like that Latvia leading 2:1, goal scored by Janis Jakš

[hckošice 14,932]

2 unlucky moments in 2 seconds for Latvia here...

 

first Jakš received a deflected puck right into his mouth... a couple of teeths and a lot of blood on the ice...and a second later came a Tripping foul from Kristians Rubinš.

 

Time 17:19. second power-play chance for yuesey now

[hckošice 14,932]

yeah, rarely you´ll see USA power-play stats going to 0/2

 

the shortest man of this tournament Rocco Grimaldi added his 2nd of the day and is aiming for a nice bronze-medal-match hattrick now.

 

score tied 2:2. Time 19:03

 

 

Grimaldi 7+7 (14 points already)

Power-play chance for at time 32:59, Mackey penalised 2 minutes for Tripping (another dumb foul, but an ibvious one, however Darzinš neymared a bit too I feel)

[hckošice 14,932]

Again excellent USA´s penalty killing. USA back at full strength, still 2:2

[hckošice 14,932]

Meanwhile a successfull proposal on the cube during the intermission resulted in huge applause and smiles in the stands and some players smiling as well on the bench watching it on the cube, well, I guess the girl had no other options than to answer ...YES, in front of all this crowd though
