Latvian strikers Rūdolfs Balcers and Teodors Blugers suffered hopeless losses in the National Hockey League (NHL) last night, and the clubs they represented were unable to score, thus experiencing “dry” failures.

Balcers and Sharks in San Jose acknowledged the superiority of Montreal’s Canadiens 0: 4. Mike Hoffmann, Alexander Romanov, Brendan Galager and Josh Anderson stood out in the Canadian club with goals.

Balcers, meanwhile, spent 16 minutes and 48 seconds on the pitch, fighting 1:36 minutes in the minority. He scored three times, did three strengths and ended the game with a negative efficiency of -1. In the middle of the third period, Liepāja had a great opportunity to score a goal. After a teammate’s throw-in, the puck bounced off Balzer, who was in a free position with his back to the Canadiens goal. The goalkeeper had fallen on the ice in the second corner of the goal at that time, so Balcer had the opportunity to throw the empty goal of the puck, which he failed to use.

How did Balcers miss that? Lol

Meanwhile, Blugers and the Pittsburgh Penguins lost Calgary Flames 0: 4, with Johnny Gudro, Blake Coulman, Dilon Dube and Milan Lucic scoring the winners. Significantly, after 40 minutes, the result was only 0: 1, but “Flames” scored three goals in the last third.

Blugers had 15 minutes and 17 seconds on the field, during which time they fought in the minority for two minutes and 42 seconds. He threw twice into the goal, performed two force techniques and blocked one opponent’s throw. The Latvian won 50% of the throw-in and ended the match with a negative efficiency of -2.
