As a Canadian, can firmly say Team Canada got exactly what they deserved this tournament. A team built on politics and no discipline doesn't belong on the big stage. Hopefully we get our team together next year.
@poundmytomtom Mainly just internal program shenanigans. Where certain kids made the team cause of privileges and priority. Basically spoiled rich kids with influence. There were a LOT of great players obviously snubbed from the roster and the team wasn't built honest. Not saying Canada would win but it wasn't the best team for sure
@@MrRoboman77, well he's got the best save% ja second best GAA in Finnish League this season at the moment so there's plenty of proof to back his draft.
@sebastianvilen4084 not rlly when you take into cosideration how risky and shaky goalies are to draft nowdays give it a year or 5 if he continues to provide like he did
It’s just odd he was below a point per game in his draft +1 year in the OHL. Usually players like that are drafted in the 5th round if at all. Was going to say I’m worried about his play on North American ice but he did fine this tournament
Finland beating Sweden's Power play on OT was absolutely insane, Jokinen put his body on the line several times and was insane. When Finland got their OT, my Swedish friends were pissed. "It wasn't worthy of a Powerplay on Semi's OT". Either way, that game was good. What sucked next day was staying up until 5-6 am to see Finland lose on OT. The game started strong, clear dominance for Finland - only to end up in US dominance. Good game, sucks to lose - but Silver is still a shinier medal than none that Sweden got so GG Czechia and USA. Good tournament. (Well, other than the USA captain being a fucking soccer player lmao)
Lots of big moments this tournament, good and bad. Some of the most shocking turnarounds and biggest upsets i’ve seen in recent years. Always a great tournament! Congrats to USA 🇺🇸and well done Finland! 🇫🇮
Canadian here, yes the world has caught up to us! It makes for great hockey! We were not as good as we thought! Guess what? The USA was magnificent! The skill level, skating, and team work! Congratulations USA you deserved the gold medal! Congratulations!
Yea, US was really strong. No denying that. Congrats on the W boys 🤟 But we also cut our best players…..it would have been really cool to see how well we could have done if we actually took the good players we had available to us. The coach is about as smart as our PM.. purposely ruined team Canada over politics.
These juniors were absolutely insane... So much talent, so much events, so much upsets, so much more entertaining than mens iihf. Cannot wait for 4 nations and olympics.
@@HecticHockey So the average american doesn't have a pair of eyes and a half functioning brain? Fair play for the gold but the amount of diving Leonard did is disgusting and should've been penalized multiple times.. That shit doesn't belong in hockey.
Bro USA - Czech republic was much closer match than you said. Czechs fought hard and just lost it in the end. Usa was better but not that significantly
i love watching these iihf games! im born in australia but i am half finnish and i always root for the finns. so sad we couldnt get the gold medal but silver is still better than no medal :D mina olen suomalainen!!!
Too many Team Canada players from Ontario. One thing I like about Team USA is the team came from all over. Even from Montana ( Sanderson) and Quebec ( Perreault). No favoritism.
The narration, editing, storyline and overall flow of this video is quite good. However, you seriously need someone to proofread your narrative, so as to avoid minor-league mistakes in grammar. I was not aware of your channel before this video was recommended to me and I am basing my comment on this single video but you absolutely need a proofreader...in my opinion.
"They missed out on Tij Iginla" HE IS SOUT. FOR THE SEASON. WITH A HIP SURGERY. sorry i get. so annoyed that no one has apparently bothered to look up where he's currently playing (not at all)
He was the victim of a knee on knee collision which left him injured on the ice and gave Czechia a powerplay. He then ended up being fine and assisted on the winning goal. Canada pretty much thinks he flopped to get a call.
Canadian fans were just desperate for a villain so they could stop directing all their hate to their own young players for a bad tourny showing, that's pretty much it. A minority of fans cans always get kinda iffy during these events, but that group graduated into cringe this time around. Glad it was all brought up here.
@@HecticHockey does the kid have to die before a 5 minute penalty is justified? Knee injuries can end careers, it is only right that IIHF cracks down on it.. Last year Jiricek got kneed in the first match of the tournament and he only recovered like a month ago..
Все ещё ждём и надеямся, когда можно будет болеть за сборную на взрослом, молодежном и юниорском уровне. А не смотреть, как судьи не дают нам проиграть потому что народ должен видеть только победы в матчах с Белоруссией и Казахстаном
The cope on X from Canadian users has been weird. I kept seeing the reply "you guys can have the WJC we will take everything else". Coupled with how weird tsn has been responding/covering this tournament since the host nation bounce has been like watching American democrats covering the 24' Presidential election.
Canadian here, no cope from me / my family / my friends who always watch the tournament. We all said the same we sucked, period. Don't fall for the twitter echo chambers. The management should be canned and we let dozens of star players not join the team for whatever weird power trip / political reasoning. I don't feel bad for the guys who played, I feel bad for the ones who didn't. Big deserved W to team USA, I know it's a rivalry between us but you guys just straight up out worked us and every other team this tourny. Honestly I was cheering for Latvia after they smoked us! That goalie is something special. Best of luck to everyone in future tournys, I hope we can give you guys more of a fight next year!
@TheMadSnorlax I get it, my dude. Wasn't trying to paint everyone with a broad brush. X replies were weird on the aftermath of the goal. I'm a (former) Coyotes fan, root for a team no matter how good or bad it gets and always look inward first. I think the people struggling with cope are the same people who hate refs instictually or act like that toronto guy who screams about zamboni drivers beating his team as an EBUG.
@@NB3228 Vocal clowns on social media that don't like reality. A lot of Canadians on the other hand are fully aware that our team was horribly managed and they stunk on the ice. It's true though that team was not our best players available and the coach was terrible. They skipped practices and they were arrogant and just not skilled enough to win. There's no excuses for that team and they fully deserved to lose.
@NB3228 oh for sure, I'm a Toronto fan (sadly lmao) it's been a rough ride for us, but I'll always be the first one to rip on us. My Dad and I still watch every game we can, and when they lose we just laugh and in unison say "BUMS!" We sadly did the same this year in the juniors haha. Either way win or lose, love seeing this game grow internationally and can't wait to see it grow more.
this tournament is getting too sensationalistic because of TSN.. as soon something happens its placed into a narrative. which makes no sense because every year there are new players. "oh.. look, 17 years ago, last time these too team played. this happened, so lets see if that somehow happens here." or "every time a tournaments year has ended on canada has won, so lets repeat this 100 times too see if it happens again".. for someone who do not believe in sport patterns, its a nightmare. and TSN is running out of ideas in general.
Have to say example sweden have good players, but sweden and Finland have always very tight games usually when they play against each others. And both have their “best” lineups. So i dont really get that hype about sweden team and it’s sometimes overrated. They produce good player, but same thing doing Finland and they have double amount population in sweden, so odds to find those good player often are better, but as we have seen. There is not so big quality difference between sweden and finland. Finland have won world cup title even other teams had lots of NHL players and finns had only couple in their teams.
Russia was not playing... It cannot be said that it was balanced. Whatever the reason, they always weighed in and performed better than most participant countries there.... just saying
Im an American and even i know: Hockey is Canada, and Canada is Hockey. To see the team not even medal is such a shock and disappointment. Heads should roll
"This feels like more of a three-team tournament between Canada, USA and Sweden", LOL :D Only one of those made it, LOL. Just keep underestimating Finland forever (even tho it's #1 on IIHF worldwide ranking, lol) and keep wondering what happens every single time they're on ice.
I just googled IIHF rankings and your way off ..1. Canada 2. Russia 3.Finland 4. Czechia 5. Swiss 6. USA 7.sweden....i don't agree with it but that's what it is.
If you re watch the play you can see the Czech player look up at the ref to see if he got the call and once he realized he did he got up and was fine...as for booing he loved the attention
let's face to reality. Why Canada can't play like a champions? Because there wasn't a Russia. Team who can step you up and be better than "the main villian" xD
can we please never do 3 on 3 OT to decide a medal ever again?? felt like watching the last 2 minutes of a mid-season NBA game with how much ragging was going on. 3 on 3 only serves to show which team has a better endurance in their top lines. i'll take a shootout any day over a 20 minute 3 on 3
@@cadenbrown8985 A tournament where quote "the best team wins" the medal deciding games shouldn't be concluded by 3v3 overtime and especially not shootouts.. Those two things benefit the best single individuals and not neccessarily the best teams and it just doesn't make sense.
Let’s be honest- something happens at this tournament and being on team Canada. It was in Canada this year. They don’t want another Carter hart situation. They purposely threw the tournament
So proud of the 🇺🇸United States🇺🇸🥇🥇they were amazing. For me this is always the best tournament as it is so much about the nature of the game within each culture and not about celebrity athletes. We need to have Russia back……I love watching Sweden play Finland anytime, they play the game so creatively and it is breathtaking to watch. See you in Minnesota next year.
Gratulations to USA for gold! But we don't want to get back Russia. As long as they want to destroy everyone around them and their bigest enemy is USA. They must earn to be back. So, forget about them.
We need to have peace back and Russia within internationally recognized borders, before you have your "fun", schmuck. Russia deserves to have no hockey at all and be the dog house for all eternity, or you might not have teams like Czechia and Finland at the tournament ever again - russian imperialism knows no bounds.
Yes it was. A clear hold which was enough for the finnish player not to reach the puck, allowing Sweden to get a 2-on-1. You can't let something like that happen.
i thought it was the worst tournament in a long time.. its was like the tournament lacked russia - and canada! and many games were decided by refs, instead of letting the players play. bronze and gold were the greatest reffed games by far. they should give each team a penalty challenge they can use in critical times of the game if they think a penalty is a non call. because its a one-game elimination, there has to be some kind of safety net for refs mistaking situations. 3 on 3 in a gold game is a joke.
Right?! I love how the IIHF won’t let Russians compete because of the current political situation, meanwhile athletes from both USA and Germany are allowed to compete…. The hypocrisy from the IIHF is fucking hysterical. You’d almost think Bettman was calling the shots 😂😂
@@sprkx6334 After seeing the shady shit they do on the politics side of IIHF and buying refs I disagree. Leo Komarov's 'knee' for example. Shockingly that ref got a big pay day in KHL after that tourney.
Not having Russia in the Tourney still sucks, The kids did nothing wrong .Typical Govt always make the children pay for their inability to get along. Canada like its country's leaders. they had nothing to offer in their leadership department behind the bench . Congrats to the US for the great finish. Finland also played great for the Silver and Czechia for a great finish for the Bronze.
@haraldsjoelis7722 whole tournament everyone else than helenius was scared to even touch the puck. They just threw it away soon as they touched it, scared to schoot or hold it, and back to the bench. And then enemy had attack on and rimpinen carrying. And then same rotation all game
If Finland was in a final, it means they deserved it more than other teams! The question is, did they play the most attractive hockey? Hell no! But that's Finland for you, their strategy always is to stop others from playing, and to score an odd goal. They succeeded, so they deserved their silver medal!
crazy overtime by the finlands goalie
He was unreal
Finland goalies just built different
As a Canadian, can firmly say Team Canada got exactly what they deserved this tournament. A team built on politics and no discipline doesn't belong on the big stage. Hopefully we get our team together next year.
Just out of curiosity cause I don't really follow Canada all that closely, what do you mean by politics?

Blaming refs is so boring. Get over it, or go out there and show us better refereeing.
Not the same without the Russians
10 best nations in hockey minus Russia
Why isn't russia playing world juniors?
IIHF banned them due to the war in Ukraine
Geopolitical issues
They are too busy committing war crimes in Ukraine
Ever heard of war with Ukraine they started?
Because they don't want to be part of the modern world.
0:50 10 best nations? That’s just false what about Russia
Best available nations I guess
They some ass fr
Right?! I love how the IIHF won’t let Russians compete because of the current political situation, meanwhile athletes from both USA and Germany are allowed to compete….
The hypocrisy from the IIHF is fucking hysterical. You’d almost think Bettman was calling the shots 😂😂
@@syzionaurifex5383what does the USA and Germany have to do with anything?
Uhhhh....Russia wasn't there! Should have but ... wasn't.
Russia should not be in Ukraine killing civilians.
Without the Russian team, the world juniors are a joke
All russians are in a war 😃, thay can't play!
@@haraldsjoelis7722 it's Ukraine who mobilized the population, not Russia.
@@ЮрийКастро-м5в They dont have to, beause they have clowns from North Korea 🤡
I must agree that they were very consistent in getting medals, but last time gold in 2011....they are not best
Tell that to Ukrainians who are getting killed daily for other nations greed.
Go Russia Hockey go
Not go!😂 are you nazi suporter?
without Russia and Belarus there is no tournament
Honestly the tournaments have been far higher quality without those two. Far less politics and buying wins.
yeah russia is a good competitor and a challengin opponent, but belarus comon man, germany, and switzerland easily outclasses belarus
Tell your government all about it.
Fuck Russia
@@sprkx6334 After seeing the shady shit they do on the politics side of IIHF and buying refs I disagree. Leo Komarov's 'knee' for example. Shockingly that ref got a big pay day in KHL after that tourney.
Not having Russia in the Tourney still sucks, The kids did nothing wrong .Typical Govt always make the children pay for their inability to get along. Canada like its country's leaders. they had nothing to offer in their leadership department behind the bench . Congrats to the US for the great finish. Finland also played great for the Silver and Czechia for a great finish for the Bronze.
Finns didnt deserve to even be at finals. Only rimpinen. Finns played terribly whole tournament
No, i think Finns played great! Just 1st game wasn't their best.
@haraldsjoelis7722 whole tournament everyone else than helenius was scared to even touch the puck. They just threw it away soon as they touched it, scared to schoot or hold it, and back to the bench. And then enemy had attack on and rimpinen carrying. And then same rotation all game
If Finland was in a final, it means they deserved it more than other teams! The question is, did they play the most attractive hockey? Hell no! But that's Finland for you, their strategy always is to stop others from playing, and to score an odd goal. They succeeded, so they deserved their silver medal!
@ЮрийКастро-м5в nope. Rimpinen deserved it. Not the players.
@ЮрийКастро-м5в if goalie has to block over shots 30 every game it means that team sucks.
