Yeah, I think the Swiss could have caused Canada more problems, mostly because of Hiller and the fact they sit back more than Latvia, but they obviously can't score.
I've enjoyed watching Latvia, but they'll push play more, make more mistakes, and get burned a few times... they've been kind of impressive though in terms of effort and sticking around in games.
