Cry of heart

I like hockey, just like most of the Latvian population.
Today was a black day in history of fair judgement in hockey. Latvian team faced USA in the world championships and wiped them all over the wider european ice arenas. The whole first third US players struggled to keep up with our guys. The third ended with 1:0 against US which showed only a small part of the LV dominance.
The second third started in an even higher tempo and US were struggling to even get the puck. And then the brakepoint came - within a minute two goals were ignore by the judge. He didn't even bother to watch the video that clearly showed the goal in both cases. After that he gave a fault to LV player after the US player fell on a clean spot. US gained back to 1:1.
The spirit was partially broken. An error in defence got US to 1:2 in the last third of the match after clear faults from US were ignored on more then 5 ocasions. In a final struggle LV took off the goalie and US scored 1:3 in the last two seconds of the game.
A compleatly undeserved win for the USA. Shame on you, judge!
