    Looks like a solid play. Who's on board?

    I'm not. The Latvians would sell their grandmother to win against Russia. Sure, Russia are huge favourites, but they're not going to get anything for free here. I can see this game ending 4-2 or 4-1 or something.

    I am with Rediscoveryx on this. I see the latvians playing extremely hard for this one. If nothing else, should be a fun game to watch but I am taking Latvia ATS.

    May join you on this one, I'm really tempted to play Belarus +4.
    Good Luck!

    I hope most of you are joking. Canada and U.S. were in tough to cover, but Russia will have no problem. Latvia better than Slovakia? Honestly, what are you smoking? One word: Ovechkin. Oh yah, and Semin and Kovalchuk and Datsyuk. Look how the Caps have been dominating the NHL the last few weeks. This trend will continue.

    Russia wins by 6.

    This game won't be close. It will be a drubbing. With Nabokov and Bryzgalov in goal Latvia will be lucky not to get shut out.

    Even if Latvia plays there best game... I see it playing out like this Norway game... close until the middle of the 2nd and then the NHL players take over. Plus Russia will pepper their goaltender with so many shots that they will wear him down....

    Russia -4 is now at -170 at Matchbook. you could probably request -4.5 for -120 or something like that.

    i dont think these are good odds. i should have booked a small bet on russia -4 when it was still at -105

    Really there's not much to defend against as Latvia has only two mediocre NHL'ers. Nabokov, Bryzgalov or Varlamov should have an easy night tonight.

    I wanted to play the -4.5 and Over (7.5), but I'd rather just put that money on one side since I can't parlay them. I thought -4.5 was the safer bet until I saw this thread.

    Should I just play the Over?

    LOL yeah bwin rarely has the best lines but I'm surprised at this one. It jumped to -200 just now so I was lucky to get in at -166. Yeah man I'm heating up in NHL again getting close to the 4k club we will have to get back on track in March

    The over should be a pretty safe bet as well. Russia will play balls to the walls hockey and should give up a couple goals as well. And you know with Canada winning 8-0 Russia will want to respond I guarantee you that. They will look to send Canada a message with a huge game tonight.

    I've got a big play on russia -4.5. I think it could be even more embarrassing than the Norway game.

    Maybe if Latvia had Latka Gravas playing on their team they might have a chance. You know the guy from Taxi!

    i am adding another 30$ on Russia -4.5. i got a big win on KU -2.5 so i am on a roll now. in addition i gotta support my countrymen. there is no love lost between Russia and Latvia. Russians will come to play just like the Latvians.

    this will be a great game.

    Lets go RUSSIA!!!!!!!
