[sasprawler]

[chiekurs16]

@TheSkatinggod576329 Nope.Latvia just won Division 1 this year. Latvia promoted to Elite Group. They'll play on 2012 World Championships in Canada.

[Ricokz]

@chiekurs16 Latvia has always been in the elite division, unless you're talking about the U-18 or U-20.

[sensovie]

JCMoney i agree, i feel bad as well, but im a Canadians fan

[JCMoney]

You have to feel bad for Latvia. Their fans are super loyal, loud and passionate, but they just don't have the tools to compete with the big 7 on a regular basis.

[hockeydangler9]

how could Canada take Patrice Cormier over Eric O'dell...

[XrayE99]

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU

[Thei9Ways]

Canada > all.

[Gritaans]

no shit? :O

[skangmox]

[DZimmer000]

Canada was the best Silver Medal winner ever.

[rimshot7a]

And USA was the best 2nd time of their history gold medal winner. Hahaha...luck?

[alaurashayna]

[handbreak3]

i am not shamed by my cousin, R.Ermics, he just hadn't lucky day, thats all. No wonder he couldn't do anything against Canadian strikers :(

[YamahaYOshi]

anyway, i cheer go canada go.

i cheered "eh o' latvia go" against slovakia and switzerland. hehe.

[75ThUmPeR75]

I agree with ya on that chant bein the dumbest ever...and I`m Canadian.

Anyways, I can sense 6 ina row:) GOOOO CANADA!!!

[XXDemonXSlayer13XX]

it was a Canadian who wrote it and people voted for it as a contest. But maybe the voters where big corporations? But it was a terrible cheer.

[car96mo787]

yea i agree, could they not have come up with something more creative.... but i believe the cheer was voted on by people on the pepsi website

[goleafsgo1414]

thanks for the post!! go canada go!

[MCRnParamoreROCKS]

Those motherfuckers are a disgrace to my country. The reason why they had the chance to play is the fact that their parents are filthy rich and can afford to buy a place on team. I'm ashamed to share a culture and language with these wusses.

[ComplexNutty]

Canada Vs Latvia 16-0

Canada Vs Switzerland 6-0

Canada Vs Slovakia 8-2

[markon500]

wow

im from canada and i tihnk that was amazing

but wtf?

like that was not sportsman ship. They shoulda stopped at ten. Bad sportsmenship canada

go canada

[Tobofrost]

@markon500 if they stopped at 10 they would run into bad habits and slack off when they are in the lead against other teams, but yeah.. 16- 0 is pretty much rape. lol i bet latnia killed themselves after that massacre

[gussinajninen]

@markon500 yeah... gotta suck being lativa, aswell as swe 10 cze 1, wasn't even fun watching, i'm from sweden.

[phlegmaticocity]

@markon500 in a tournament that relys on goals scored there is no reason to stop

[Andrew619wwe]

idont like that new chant they made for canada....eh-oh canda go! ?? :| ...pretty shit:P..but w/e

CANADA = CHAMPS 6 IN A ROW

[strker99]

Yeah I agree I hate the new chant eh-oh-Canada go as well. I hate that Canadian stereotype "EH" it is so annoying, especially when Americans use it to attempt to make fun of Canada lol. Maybe its a more western thing, but i'm from Ontario and I never hear people say Eh. Go Canada Go!!! Can't wait to see the Canada vs USA game tomorrow.

[drpottz]

what i hate the most is an AMERICAN company trying to make money off of canada by making a "cheer" . such bullshit. GO CANADA GO is just fine.

[blade03030]

@drpottz dude there just trying to get croud pumped such an ignorant thing to say. america has money and so does canada. come on its a fucking cheer

[blade03030]

@drpottz and its a cheer that has canadas name in it . not america. who would make the moneyy?

[Mtnbike4life]

@blade03030 Pepsi ya dumb fuck, Pepsi is an American owned company who created this cheer and made a lot of money off it, therefore Canada once again made the yanks money, need a drawing?

[CmanCorporations]

why are they wearing all the same gloves?

Bauer?

weird. either way..

go canucks go.

[awsomestan]

poor latvia, they should have just ended their suffering once canada scored 10 goals, 10 bucks says latvia doesn't make it off the plane when they go home

[CmanCorporations]

they can't.. they have to rally up the points.. it comes down to goals.. so they need all they can get.

look at sweeden.. 10-1..

they don't want to do it.. but because of the rule they have to..

[matrixmario]

GO CANADA GO!

[COMMYCABOOSE]

Go Canada!

[VMvikingsfootball]

canada is just the best, quit hockey...6th gold metal on its way...

[itsgametime123]

wow i would quit playing hockey

[Britex123]

SPANKED

[technine02]

fucking rights GO CANADA GO!!!

[Br3nd3n14]

watching swiss vs canada right now on tsn 5-0 canada 3mins left in 2nd WOOOOO

[TheCrowneJewel]

Damn that was such an embarrassing game for Latvij'

[lottster14]

the problem with teams like latvia.. is they try to do everything more individual. if you watched the highlights.. if not the game you could see after 4 goals they started to not pass and get greedy and tried to do all the moves. and you cant against canadian defencemen.

[sparapetful]

loooool nabaga tevu zeme :(

[MrJordon130]

@prontoshadylane Durp

[UnstoppableLineman92]

EH-OH CANADA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alyo]

Poor sportsmanship for a piece of shit sporting country

[CJDUBstang]

sounds like comments from a guy who's from one of the loser countries. lol

[riderfanszmul]

@alyo sorry but if we would have gone full out it would have been 25-0

[IIzRippiin]

they should take out the goal thing.. garanteed canda would have let off after 5 if they didnt "need" 16 goals..

[hippie2525]

thats right canada u kick ass like u do every year eh oh canada go!

[x3x3adriane]

Bitch, Complain and moan all you want but there's a reason why Canada plays teams like this, and even if Latvia scored, it wouldn't have been enough to win. There is a reason why Canada has won the last 5 years in a row and have only lost 1 game our of those 5 years.

[bluejeans88]

It's not the fact of latvia having an off game. It's just that the junior team for canada is so much better then most of the teams. Hense why they have won the last 6 years.....not to many teams can win 16-0, even if they are playing the worst country in the world.

[rushpowerpratt]

AHAHAHA

[Bocca202]

Ha-ha....veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery fuuuuuuuuny ! How it is posible to loose like that and be considered A- list team??

[sanita19]

i'm latvian. haha i think they could be better. they SHOULD! i prefer Dinamo Riga to Dinamo Jr.

[drdave2468]

ya great game exciting ! I turned after half way through the first, I liked the blowouts in years past, but the goal amount rule has gotta go!

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

Kadri is such a prick. I love having him as a Leafs prospect, but goddamnit he's such an idiot at times...

[TheGamegangsta2]

gg.

[goberge69]

I'm can, this carnage isnt? necessary. :) poor lat, how can they be motivated... this score isnt a good thing...

[labaizs]

Latvia 1'500 junior players, Canada over 300'000 junior players. Now.. do your math!

[maxxamtml]

lol

i take it u r Latvian

last year it was 4-2 canada

latvia just played like dog feces

[labaizs]

and it still is 1500 vs 300000!!

[danhabsfan9]

so what that doesn't mean anything. if it did then how come we can beat countries like russia and the US?

[labaizs]

cmn... are u really that dumb?? just stop being a canadian for a minute and think like a human being. You can win countries like Russia and Sweden because you have more players than any other nation... doesnt it make sense.. i know your brain capacity isnt that big, but your argument just doesnt make sense. haha I mean, you will never win Russia or sweden with 16:0... because they have more players than Latvia. i feel like im talking to a child. :)

[danhabsfan9]

my argument doesn't make any sense? only around 20 guys are on the team and we don't have every single hockey player trying out. the reason we beat latvia 16-0 is because we have the best players in the world not the most.

[labaizs]

Common think just a little bit here. Latvia has to chose 20 best from 1500 players. canada can chose 20 from over 300000 players. This means that You can pick one out of 15000... i mean having a lot of players is a huge advantage! And thats exactly what is here.. Im sure if you would take 20 random players from both nations, then the game would be a lot similar.. if you agree that it wouldnt be anything like 16:0 then you agree to my argument and

[danhabsfan9]

that really doesn't make any sense. sweden is one of the best hockey nations in the world and they only have 5 million people and they have beat Canada a few times. the reason the game was 16-0 is plainly because Canada is far more talented then Latvia.

[labaizs]

you really are a dumb canadian.. i live in Canada and i dont like the people here.. honestly.. Canadians sucks........... and as for you, you know u cant my argument that if u would take 20 random Latvian players and 20 random canadian players that the score would be nothing like this.. so... yeah..

[danhabsfan9]

well who won the last olympics? the top three teams were sweden finland and the czech rebublic and Canada came in 7. latvia was last at the olympics. the size of the population has nothing to do with skill.

[ComplexNutty]

If your From Latvia And Ima Buy a ticket to Latvia And a ticket back to canada to Kick YOur Ass

[DayTurnedIntoNight]

@ComplexNutty well, then im waiting i think :)

[mingor10]

are you kidding , we have won the last 5 world juniors you foool, its not a fluke, and if its all about our population why isnt the states the best. think about it we dominate in almost every aspect of the game, the only other country that comes close for player development is russia

[labaizs]

population doesnt matter.. the # of players count.. and USA is getting better and better. I know they have many juniors and they are getting better each year.

[mingor10]

@labaizs

yea well its been 5 years now that canada has dominated, russia develops players just as much as canada does. its not the number of players its the number of players that make a difference and they usually come from canada, some do come from the states but no where near to as solid as past canadians nor are the better overall hockey teams, canada is the strongest and will always be the strongest hockey country

[labaizs]

first of all i dint say anything about population, but number of players do make a HUGE difference! Canadian players might be the best, as of talent, but its still obvious that number of players make a difference, especially if the difference is this dramatical! Maybe every player in 15000 can be really really good.. and Latvia has only 1500 players..

[dalaigh]

wow, I didn't realize there were 1500 guys sitting on latvias bench, or 300000 on canads bench, must have been crowded.

It's 20 vs 20, the top from each country. not all the hockey players from one country vs all the hockey players from the other country, just cause we can pick from more doesn't mean we have more. It's still 20 vs 20. if we lose a player to an injury then its 19 vs 20, we can't just go get another player from the pool. It's our 20 best vs their 20 best, and ours are better

[Rous1an]

класс!

[ryder951]

well, in the pro level latvians arent thet bad, considering we got about 3-5 thousand hockey players and we still managed to get the 7th place in the world in IIHF world tournament last year, winning sweden, switzerland and suffering a dignified loss to canada in quaterfinals 2:4. maybe it's too early to say that we should shut down hockey in latvia...

[atranos]

you never let up in this level of play. it is disrespectful to your opponents. play your game as you always do, don't "go easy" on them...that's an insult. give them an opportunity to play for every little battle, every pass, every defensive maneuver, THAT is how Latvia's hockey program will improve. NOT by playing against a team that doesn't give them 3 periods of their best hockey. Good work Latvia on your third year in group B, not too bad at all. You were playing Canada!

[lebmoe12]

love kadri's hit now thats something intresting lol he went out for like 10 min powerplay and latvia still never scored

[PostmanPat13]

What was the song after the National Anthem?? Please can somebody tell me. I was looking for that song for over 2 years and il suscribe to you if you can tell me what the song was.

[richguymcfat]

we cant if it comes down to a tie they decide the winner by who has more goals.. go kadri!!!!

[CopperHydroxide]

wow,im canadian...maybe we should have taken alil easier on them.....

[coolguy12333]

@CopperHydroxide same i felt bad for Latvia's goalie

[seronic]

Can't take it easier. The way this tournament is, incase of a tie -- they go for goals for / against. You can't stop until the games over. Stupid rules, but thats how they are made. And @ a7nwee, they only have 1500ish kids who play hockey. We have I think it was ~380K (something like that). Kind of lopsided. You only get better by playing against higher caliber teams. Practice makes perfect.

[amirjon]

@seronic

i think some AAA and AA teams in bc or ontario could have beaten them (latvia that is)

[seronic]

Maybe, but I find it strange how they beat russia 2-1 (or 3-2, I forget the final score). How can we beat them 16-0, and russia lose by such a close game? I know it means nothing, it was exhibition and a game that meant nothing.. but still =\

[amirjon]

@CopperHydroxide

beauty of goal differential making a difference

[CEPLL406]

@CopperHydroxide

you would think sooo....but the more goals the better....if two teams are tied at the end of the round robin then whichever team has more goals gets the higher place. so you might as well run up the score when playing a weeker team. but you have to feel bad for latvia. especially their goalie.

[metalcore211]

@CopperHydroxide you cant take it easy on someone. If theres a tie, it comes down to goal differential. I feel bad for the Latvians, but due to the rules, you have to pour it on constantly

[Bcboi92]

rofl 16-0 jokess

[a7nwee]

I think Latvia will have to shut down their hockey league & hopes
