I've seen about 5 or so "WHY DIDN'T THEY PUT CLAUDE GIROUX ON THIS TEAM?" tweets in the last 15 minutes.

Please please PLEASE let Latvia pull this upset off.

Their two months of spring/summer/fall

WOW, that is what I call a scrum.

Bartulis just got rocked by a Weber 1-timer. Down in a heap, play continued, no whistle.

Team USA continues to add on

The crowd goes bananas every time Latvia has a potential offensive chance.

LAT-VEE-UH!

Who the hell is that wearing bartulis' jersey?

No goal, should be a penalty shot.

Man this game is insane.

I know. They can't change that call though on replay.

I thought a penalty shot was warranted when a puck is 'covered' in the crease by someone other than the goaltender. Looks like the Latvian defender pushes it back away from the goal line.

It should have been. Ref missed it and review can't overturn a call like that.

I'm in awe by the play of the Latvians.

Another penalty against Latvia. That last penalty call on Ozolinsh was a little soft.

It would be if that was the call on the ice, however it is not reviewable after the fact.

THis could be bad for Latvia. Tough time to take a penalty.
