Latvia closes for surprise holiday after hockey upset of U.S.​

Latvians woke up to go to work Monday morning, only to find they didn't have to. Their parliament had met at midnight to declare a holiday after the national ice hockey team chalked up its best result at the world championship.

Latvia, where hockey is the national sport, was co-hosting the men's championship with Finland, and the country's 4-3 overtime victory over the United States for the bronze medal was greeted with wild jubilation.

Dallas looks sharp for 2 games without that bum Jamie Benn anchoring them, he comes back and they get dry-docked. That guy sucks.
So, I went out for some lunch/drink yesterday (coming down off my Indy 500 weekend bender). Swear to god, I saw a guy at the bar wearing a Jamie Benn shirt/jersey…and an ankle monitor. It was perfect.

They were No. 8 seeds. They barely got into the playoffs after up-and-down regular seasons. They had to face the No. 1 overall seeds in Round 1 of the postseason. They had to win Game 7s in Boston just to keep their seasons alive. They are Eastern Conference champions. They are each four wins from a championship.
