Just want to point out that if Canada ever lost to Latvia in any #hockey tournament, people would be calling for the coach’s head.
This is no slight to Latvia.
But if you’re Canada, the expectation is that you win every game even if it’s the B or C squad.
If you lose *at all*, it will be to USA, Czechia, Sweden, Finland, or Switzerland. Maybe an upset from Germany would be tolerated. Maybe.
But you definitely can’t lose to the likes of Norway, Slovakia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, or Great Britain. If Canada loses to those teams, that’s a national crisis.
