Important game for both teams. If either wants to make the QF they have to win this, this could be a big game for Latvia to avoid relegation too if both go down. I was really impressed with the Latvian goalie yesterday. While the Fins didn't play their best Latvia kept it much closer than I expected, the Swiss haven't played in 4 days so I'm not sure what to expect out of them, not expecting their best, especially early. Will be kinda close I think.
Still I base this theory on the way our players play the game, how the coaches coach our teams, how the fans, just like media, really have no clue what goes on the ice. I've been posting/lurking in hockey forums for couple of years now and I envy, just envy how insightful and logical thinking people are here people on NHL team GD threads (not the main troll board obviously). Just open any of SC.com discussions, each next comment is more retarded than previous. Just listen to the interviews of, say Miļūns or Tambijevs of their vision of the team, it's like they not even see how their players are actually playing or what are their trumps, I really have no idea how any of them pick their rosters. Just compare them to the Ted Nolan, remember how fantastic looking was our team before wheels fell of against the Norway (still not sure what happened till now). Those were the same mediocre players as in the past 10 years, but see what actual, hockey understanding, coach can do.
Enough off-topic. Bring on the cheese!
Well its not really fair to bring in SC in this one,its full of teenagers and trolls,so its not really a representative of our fans.

Then , please, point me in a direction of an actual hockey discussion. At best case scenario we have people like petrovich27, God bless him, but even he operates only by numbers without actually analyzing actual player performance or anything. I understand that goal is a goal, but still, you can't say Jelisejevs was our top performer yesterday because of that, right? If tournament ended with that game, he would write that he is our most potent forward, when in reality Lipsbergs was superb yesterday compared to him.

Ofcourse,i agree were not on the level of say Canadian fans in that aspect ,but still you can`t call every.single.one latvian fan hockey-retarded.
