Scott Laughton´s Empty netter at 59:17 ended Latvian dreams I wish Latvians to win tomorrow the bronze medal (first historic medal for the country at WCh/WOG ever). Good luck to Canada in the final, but, they really will need to show more than what they did today to challenge a super-speed skating world recordmans-fast USA team level here

People just found out Adam Fantilli is apparently playing at this worlds 8 and half matches absolutely shaky, miserable, really but really-really bad and invisible future NHL draft pick number two prospect just scored out of nowhere a real beauty Time 48:56 Canada leading for the first time in this match 3:2

Good start in the 3rd period for CAN and unlucky moment for LAT a very "lucky" goal for Jack Quinn deflected from the Latvian goalie Šilovs´s own mask to his net 2:2 at 40:45

The Canadians look pretty sleepy today... I don´ t know if it´s because their wives and girlfriends came to Finland to see them yesterday before the semi-finals.... but they should step up their play, otherwise they´re in for a real shock-slap in the face
