The Memorial Cup is moving along too quickly, and soon the hockey will be over again. - Author: Cathy Squires - Tags: From The Branches The Leafs may be talking to Peter Chiarelli. The Leafs may be interviewing someone else. The Leafs may fire the coach, they may not. They may regret firining Kyle Dubas, or they may welcome the change. They may get better, maybe worse.

But for co-host Latvia, who no longer have storied Dinamo Riga in the KHL, instead it's just part of the Latvian league, the victory was about something well beyond hockey. > The moment🇱🇻 🤌 [@lhf\_lv](https://twitter.com/lhf%5Flv?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [#IIHFWorlds](https://twitter.com/hashtag/IIHFWorlds?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [https://t.co/puj2EelBkt](https://t.co/puj2EelBkt?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/PUJCrZptoO](https://t.co/PUJCrZptoO?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — IIHF (@IIHFHockey) [May 28, 2023](https://twitter.com/IIHFHockey/status/1662801999073628160?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > Arturs Silovs has been named Best Goalie of the tournament![#IIHFWorlds](https://twitter.com/hashtag/IIHFWorlds?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)[@lhf\_lv](https://twitter.com/lhf%5Flv?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > ⭐Tournament All-Stars Article: > 🔗[https://t.co/HKM4cjZXf0](https://t.co/HKM4cjZXf0?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/9g2DvezAcS](https://t.co/9g2DvezAcS?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — IIHF (@IIHFHockey) [May 28, 2023](https://twitter.com/IIHFHockey/status/1662964494065180672?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) You don't say? > Latvian captain Kaspars Daugavins just told me that Monday has been declared a national holiday in Latvia.

Of all the parts of the many deals Brad Treliving made last summer, this is the gem in the bunch. His contract isn't a bargain, but with a new coach, I think he's going to have a great year. When the Memorial Cup is handed out, that's it for hockey. Oh, they'll be some development camp and prospect tournament games that look like hockey, but it's not even at the level of preseason. The real thing doesn't start again until October. What will the Leafs look like then? I don't know about you, but I don't think that's a very easy question to answer. I'm going to try later this morning. Until then, Happy Monday.
