Myers will have a great season because it's his contract year. Go figure. 

I’ll be happy if we can move him in the offseason but, yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised at all of he went on to have a good season.

How did this Canadian team qualify for the final?  Teamwork > talent??

This is low key one of the toughest Canadian international teams ever put together. 

 

Lucic and McBain on the same team? 

Crouse? 

Sammy Blais and Middleton? 

Krebs and Laughton are very pesky too. 

 

This team would bully most NHL teams.

I guess it's like the World Cup mentality where physicality can help you steal games against more talented teams.  There's no time to work on playmaker and team chemistry so strength and hard work can go a long way.  I just didn't think it would work on international ice.  Russia's absence is blowing these tournaments wide open.

No wonder they’re not impressed… lol

Looks like some gold records that got melted and run over by a truck several times. :lol:

Just turned it on to see the big celebration...Latvians are super excited to win the bronze. I love it...really nice to see. Big congrats to Arturs Silovs who should get a big confidence boost from his performance(s)!

Never seen anyone that excited to play for and win the bronze.  Great to see...exact opposite of Canada at the 98 Olympics.

I'm a fan of the underdog. (Maybe that's why I'm a Canuck fan! ) Gutty performance from Latvia. The 2023 WC's been their year for success, and I'm pretty sure our own Silovs was a big factor in that Bronze Medal outcome. Good on ya, Latvia!
