The Round Robin portion of the Olympic Men’s Hockey tournament is a time when teams can juggles their lineups, try different line combinations and also flex a little muscle at the same time. Mismatches are the reality of this short tournament, and if you watch the lines closely, there may be money to be made.
Russia is a Gold Medal contender and rightfully so. Their collection of forwards is arguably the best in the tournament. Their defense, although unspectacular is solid and their goaltending is probably the best it has been in many years.
Make no mistake, this team is built to score goals and they will do so in bunches on Tuesday night. The Russians are eager to get this tournament started and fired up to show the world that they are ready to reclaim their place as an International Hockey Superpower.
Unlike Russian teams in the past, this team has an unquestioned love for the game and a flare for the dramatic. The Russians are out to squash their competition and put on a great show while in the process.
Latvia will be relegated to watching this show while not being able to do much about it at all. The Russians are coming and Latvia isn’t going to stop them.
Latvia’s roster is the polar opposite of the Russian. Instead of the who’s who of hockey, they are simply the WHO? They will be last in their pool and goal scoring fodder on Tuesday night.
The lines for this game are extremely bettor friendly.
