This CAN-Latvia game is a perfect example where hockey fails. Canada is far better in every aspect of the game, yet it took them 54 (!!!) shots to break a 1-1 tie late in the 3rd (at this time Latvia had 13).
Everybody likes upsets, but in a normal game (with wider goals), the better team would have rightfully have the game in the pocket with a score of something like 7-1...
Although Purcell might not like it, but that is the hard truth.
BTW, I have rooted hard for Latvia, so it was only a matter of time when CAN scores.
To underline the above statements, it needed a one timer from one of the hardest NHL shooters (Weber) to break the tie!
