Topicmaster1010 2,182 Posted May 21, 2021 #184 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Well, I don't know what to say. Granted, we could probably make 10 teams better than the one we sent to the tournament but Latvia clearly showed they wanted that game and rightfully deserved to win and at the end of the day, this is great for international hockey. Congrats to any Latvians on the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to any Latvians on the forum! Well, It is not all over. The IIHF size rink was always kinda advantage for Euro teams in the opening games against CAN & USA when coming with international hockey inexperienced rosters. that was always the same, + this year CAN did not played any exhibition game on such rink so yeah the covid pandemic also did not help you at all, but even if this roster is arguably very week (in comparison of what CAN can obviously field) they are sill some great level players and once they will be used to this size rink and conditions they may still be medal threats. Remember the tournament is still very long, this was only 1st game. Latvia played great match though + the fact no spectators were allowed helped them to not fall under some extra pressure, but in other hand maybe the opposite I believe would also work on their side, the young Canadians are not used to play in front of such fanatic fans jumping and shouting with drums the whole match Topicmaster1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,127 Posted May 22, 2021 Author #190 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Anyway, the "incident" with the middle finger of Sharangovich towards our bench will very likely have a continuation at the disciplinary commission of the tournament. He however already apologized to the Slovak team and also to his own teammate and fans after the match. "In today's match against Slovakia, my frustration resulted in a shameful and irresponsible gesture towards their bench. There is no excuse for this, I feel ashamed. It doesn't reflect me as a player and a person. As a team captain, I have to be more respectful on and off the ice. Today I failed, I disappointed the team, the coaches and the fans. I will accet responsibilty for my actions, I want to apologize to the Slovak team. I want to learn from this moment and move forward," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
