NHL Executive Is Furious And Publicly Bashes Team Canada Regarding Their Roster

One of the biggest upsets ever was seen Friday night: Latvia pulled off a 3-2 shootout win over the high-flying Canadians.

That kind of loss brought about media outrage as the public had already started questioning the team in the weeks leading up to this tournament.

Now, one NHL executive has chimed in with an opinion, citing the exclusion of Calgary Flames prospect Zayne Parekh as a huge mistake that has helped to compound the problems the team is facing.

The remarks from the unnamed executive come following a litany of criticism coming from fans and media outlets questioning several of the moves being made on the roster.

It was players like Michael Misa, Carter Yakemchuk, Tij Iginla, and Michael Hage, among others, together with Zayne Parekh, who were supposed to form a strong lineup.

Instead, their absence has left the team scrambling for momentum as the tournament progresses.

Both Carter Yakemchuk and Parekh have taken to social media in the wake of the Latvia loss, speaking out indirectly by liking posts that laid bare the shocking result.

There's still time to right the ship, but if Latvia isn't the catalyst for some huge changes, then Canadian hockey fans may be in for a disappointing couple of weeks.
