I came to this video yesterday knowing Czechia would hammer us. As soon as we equalized last night and I heard the first period result over the radio, I said to myself 'it's over. I had every right not to be overconfident this year.' It's gonna be US vs. Czechia in the final
Can we talk about how Canada has cancelled 4 practices throughout the tournament and hasn’t skated since the loss on NYE. No wonder this team has no Chem.
@ they also can’t pass to each other and have a power play worse than my minor hockey team. I’m hoping ur right and meetings can help this team but I just don’t see it.
Canceled 4 practices? Lol I did not know this. The coach sucks, he interviews like a guy half dead who is clinging to his heartbeat. Can't believe we have.to watch this lame Canadian hockey 2 years in a row. I blame it on Trudeau...lol
@@smokingwraith9990 Why does everyone blame Trudeau for things that are not his fault at all? I don't really like him either since I'm an NDP voter, but I'd take him over Trump 2.0 any day
There is no 'Team Canada' at all, there is just a collection/selection of excellent players, but there is no team. Canadian problem is not with players, but with current coaches and preparation for Championship. Unfortunately. Life-long ''Montreal Canadians'' fan from Latvia.
You're wrong. They're untalented. This is what happens when you pick the team based on "who you know", friends and hockey politics instead of who's actually good.
I'm from Czechia and I love Canadian hockey. But with all the respect, you could just feel that our team could do this, Canada seemed somewhat fragile. I remember a few years ago the only question was how many goals the Canadians would score. Now there's more confidence than ever that we can beat them. On the other hand, this generation of the Czech team is the strongest in decades and the core group has been playing together for years
There are tons of players from out west I don't know, and I'm a Knights fan from the OHL. But that's part of the problem, the OHL is a bloody and fierce league, and now we're expecting the players who are used to fighting each other to now play with each other
@@Riley-p4k2y Oh yeah? Who won the OHL Championship last year, the same playoffs where Erie bowed out in the first round, meanwhile it was London who won it all after sweeping 3 out of 4 series. Also, Erie is 19 POINTS BEHIND LONDON
@@coastaku1954 they think that the chemistry of players who play on the same time who equal the one of the Americans that been playing in the same program for a moment. Not the best choice tbh, just pick the best players who fit in your plan for the team.
14 OHL players. You can't tell me that the QMHL and WHL only have about seven players between them that are worth playing!?!?! The lack of discipline is dreadful. Then the coach says that he can't do anything about it!!! What happened to benching players to send a message? We're done if we can't stay out of the penalty box.
The raw talent on the US is getting better and better every year. Bigger country population wise with more guys playing hockey every year, It was bound to start going the other way.
@@Statroll we have great raw talent, but there's some big flaws in the coaching staff that also reflects the playstile. How can you jeopardize your lead or your eventual come back in the game buy tripping, slashing and charging a guy. You might say IIHF rules are stricter but just coach them to be able to play in those types of tournament. Latvjia put up a better fight than them in their games.🤦🏿♂🤦🏿♂
It is almost like leaving some of the best Canadian players off the team for stupid reason was a piss poor idea. Canada's brain-trust doing brain-trust things.
Hockey fan from Czech Republic here, we always admire the canadian hockey and are always very thankful to have a chance to play in such matchups. We almost call it a rivalry here, dunno if the canadians view it also that way, I doubt it. Anyway, I hope that we get a great game tonight!
our team is dogshit, you'll get a free win. Don't take too much pride. We Canadians despise this Team Canada and it's the worst Team they've had in over 40 years for real.... They lost to Latvia bro. Czech is gonna dump goals all over them! Enjoy the game! We'll see you next year!
As soon as they released the selection camp roster I knew it was over. So many boys from the dub got shafted and how in the fuck did Misa not even get a call?? what a joke
Agreed the team has no finish. They get lots of scoring chances, but no high danger ones. They didn’t select the most talented players which is always a mistake. I hope they lose tonight to teach management a lesson…
definitely. If they make the semis or gold medal game the people in charge will learn nothing. Complete embarrassment is the only way to get Hockey Canada to change course.
@@coastaku1954 Agreed, Cameron only won with two of the most stacked teams Canada has ever sent. One had Tavares, Hodgson, Eberle, Subban, Ellis, Ennis, Benn, Kane, Pietrangelo, Myers. The other had Bedard, McTavish, Stankoven, Roy, Johnson, Greig, Zellweger.

No, this is the problem with Team Canada, there are great scorers, but they're all from different teams, many of which HATE each other. Team Canada is made up of great players from the CHL, the CHL and it's 3 leagues have teams that play against each other and try to give these kids an NHL-like experience before they are drafted. Many of these kids get noticed through individual skill... and their fists. So rivalries run high. Like there are 3 players on the team from the London Knights, great, but there are some from the Kitchener Rangers and Oshawa Generals, bitter rivals to The Knights, and when the Knights play those teams, they often end in fights... now they're all on the same team and they're expecting them all to play with each other and find chemistry. Team Canada is full of too many individuals, and not enough of an actual team
@@coastaku1954 I've never seen signs of this, also a ton of these players have played with one another through their younger years and u18 and u17 team Canada stints. The problem was they didn't construct the best roster possible with the players they had available. In a short tournament such as this skill trumps chemistry almost every time.
@@coastaku1954 Complete nonsense, Canada has won the most golds of any country by picking the best players available, they didn't do that this year so they lost.

Sad after a loss, or disappointed, or even angry at a performace, sure. But after the sexual assualt scandal, the incompetence, the selections which seem based on politics more than skill, and a team that can't even be bothered to practice, I just feel embarrassed.

Yeah. We're getting eliminated tonight. How can a World Juniors team that's gone to the box approximately 29 times, and can't muster an effective PK become defending champions this year? (Answer: lack of discipline and coordination defensively.) It's Czechia's turn this year IMHO.
Hopefully they don't lose tonight. If they can stay disciplined they can win. If they get another 22 PIM like they did vs the US they're cooked. I absolutely despise dumb penalties.
@@Madmartigan6 Same, but when you take the whole penalty madness out for a second - there are many gaping holes within this team. And we all know Czechia is seeking to prevent Canada seeking redemption because of you-know-what.
@@dukeofrodtown1705 That challenge of the no goal was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. We have momentum and he completely deflates the team taking a bench minor...
Worst team Canada has iced in years, maybe decades. At least other teams that choked in the knockout stages had decent players but just underperformed. This team is mediocre on paper and worse on the ice.
I genuinely think anyone who singles out players on this team should never be allowed to have an opinion regarding hockey. The hate for guys like Cowan and Dickinson is just unhinged. No they aren't playing well, but there's a whole lot more who are playing worse. But regardless, the fault falls completely on this god awful roster selection, and easily the worst coach out there, dude is more useless than Sheldon Keefe. It's also worth noting that whenever western Canadian players are overlooked, Canada tends to under perform. But with all this being said, it's the World Juniors, people, especially Canadians blow these tournys way out of proportion and act like they're the Olympics.
There is no 'Team Canada' at all, there is just a collection/selection of excellent players, but there is no team. Canadian problem is not with players, but with current coaches and preparation for Championship. Unfortunately. Life-long ''Montreal Canadians'' fan from Latvia.
Well thats what happens when you cut or dont even invite your top players. Cristall, Sennecke, Lindstrom, Iginla, Hage, Greentree, Misa and Yakemchuk all should of been there but Hockey Canada picked favourites rather than picking the best.
How would you want Lindstrom and Iginla to go out there?? on sleds? Because they’re both injured. Lindstrom literally hasn’t played all year. Dude I’m American and I don’t even follow your junior league and I know more about it than you do and you’re allegedly Canadian. Good Lord. Maybe this is why you guys lose. You don’t know as much about the sport as you pretend.
Českooo baby🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿 2 years in a row + this time we beat Canada in Canada.. Can’t believe what did I just witness.. Chants against refs after game were just pathetic 😂
But accurate. Delay of game call for that goalie interference when the Czechia defenseman pushes him in? Knee on knee that wasn’t a penalty let along a major? Knee on knee that wasn’t a penalty but called in the third that resulted in a goal? Czechia hits Meckenna with a forearm to the back of the head, head first into the glass and no called, the weak slash and dive call? The officiating was atrocious Czechia got a handout with those refs and a handout with the review team
@@jay7T6 yea and they acted like they won gold. thats how much of a presence and power house of a team that canada has put in for so long that when teams beat canada its more meaningful than any other win
I saw an interview where they said they purposefully did not chose "the best players" the went for what they thought would provide the " best chemistry". So basically if the chemistry doesn't actually pan out you're left with a objectively inferior team. Building your team around such an intangible thing as "chemistry" makes it clear as to why we performed so poorly. Field the best team.....if they gel, great if not then you might not win. So be it. But choosing inferior players because you THINK they will gel simply guarantees you will loose.
Gavin is the only talented player on the team and when he isn’t on the ice Carter George has to have the entire team on his back which isn’t fair because he is the goaile
we decided to leave our top scorers at home and try to build teams like the usa did in the past now we getting exposed, you gotta bring the best talent to win best on best, end of story
It seems like Canada doesn't even want to play. At all. Except maybe the 3rd period against Czechia, but those were only glimpses of the past. I hope you guys get this solved and start playing like Canada should. This is like watching Finnish ski jumping come crashing down about 15 years ago, and it still hasn't recovered.
If the population demographics in Canada were represented realistically, the team would have 3 white people then the rest of the team and coaching staff would be Punjabi.
They need a guy who can run a powerplay like Parekh or Yakemchuk. Also, they are clearly being outcoached. Dave Cameron isn't cutting it, they need a guy like Dale Hunter.
there is not much cohesion up and down the roster. alot of i'll fo it! no i'll do it! the only positive is that considering the amount of odd man opps canada has given up, the goaltending has been pretty good.
I saw a rumor about Hockey Canada making selections for camp based of PR, and not inviting players that have signs of risky off ice behaviours. I don't like that idea, but it starts to make sense especially with the trial from London starting soon. And of course Cameron's heavy OHL bias is partly to blame too, he just didn't have a Bedard to bail him out like 2022.
Went to the Fin vs Can game. Yes, we won, but it was a snorefest. It was like we had already peaked, and all the elite teams were excelling as the tournament went on. If we are going to win another game, we need to shoot more than pass. It's like if they can't see the net they pass till they do. We are being out coached big time.
Yeah so when we lose to you, it's because you played so good but when we win over you, it's just because you played worse and it has nothing to do with us. Obviously.
? I don't really care to be honest. Stopped cheering for Canada, when Canada stopped cheering for me. They are a reflection of our society as a whole these days.
Hockey Canada deserves a loss. How could they possibly leave all these talented players, like not even invited to camp, and then allow the lack of practices? What a bunch of idiots. You could pull a random Redditor to make the team and even they would do a better job ffs
@Madmartigan6 really because every TH-cam video when they selected the teams was about how team Canada was completely stacked and was going to dominate. Literally the dude that posted this video has a video about exactly that.
@@Madmartigan6 yeah sure, k. I've been a Hockey fan for a long time. One thing is always true; team Canada is always blown out of proportion, they lose one game and everyone turns on them. It's been that way with every team in Canada for years.
@@nickh9733 Remember the 2021 World Championship when Canada lost the first 3 games? 2-0 to Latvia, 5-1 to the USA, 3-1 to Germany. I remember that tournament because I watch them all. Everyone was shitting on them so much, end of the day Canada won gold. Some teams deserve to be considered great though. When you have Crosby, Carter, Getzlaf... When you have McDavid. Sometimes the hype is real. This time around, nope.
I saw a lot of people bring up the penalties. Especially after their elimination. However the penalties seem to be a product of bigger issues. They lacked situational awareness. They had poor team chemistry. They did not have a willingness to win as a team. They didn't leave their egos at the door. Some of them were trying to be the hero instead of just winning. I don't just think it is management. These kids know what this tournament can mean for their careers. I don't think any of them came to win. I think they all came to try and boost their own careers.
i just feel like: We czechs are Canada´s kryptonite. Its funny, but also the amount of pressure canada´s representation gets from own media, and whole nation, must be crazy.
Mckenna is the best forward and he's only just turned 17. You need scorers that can bully their way into tough spots to score. This team sucks, whoever put it together is better suited to decide who makes the Mcnuggets and who makes the fries.
Ready for the excuses everyone Canada Vs Refs We've got more golds than most teams have medals We're still better They got lucky Management is to blame Waaaaaahhhhhhhh
We do have more gold. 😅 But no one is making those excuses lol. What I see is everyone talking about what horrible penalties these kids are taking. They can't stay disciplined and it's costing them. Stil no even strength goals scored against them in 4 games.
@Madmartigan6 that doesn't matter to the current crop of kids does it. Then you're not paying attention cause they're all the excuses I see, Eck even said management in this video 🤣 That's great? You still lost games.
When you neglect to pick a large number of the leading scorers in the W, O and Q you have another Team Canada built around the ‘system.’ Perhaps we have a no compete clause with the other nations.
Bye bye Canada. Both team played their best, some weak calls from the refs, some bias from Canadian people. Booing a player that almost got his leg ripped of? Cmon people.. Canada was definitelly better 2. and 3. periods but Czechia had their hearts on the ice. And the discipline from Canada players was what lost you the game. GG and Canadians.. don't be so arrogant. 🏒
It is the dirty play that has disillusioned Canadians. It is poor, and it should not be supported. These are just kids, and this shouldn't be condoned.
Who's here after their loss to Czechia?

Those shootout attempts during the Latvia game were hilarious what happened to scoring a goal by deking a goalie
😂
0:07, it feel like it’s gonna be a repeat of last year, literally the same game again lol
Yeah. We're getting eliminated tonight. How can a World Juniors team that's gone to the box approximately 29 times, and can't muster an effective PK become defending champions this year? (Answer: lack of discipline and coordination defensively.) It's Czechia's turn this year IMHO.
Hopefully they don't lose tonight. If they can stay disciplined they can win. If they get another 22 PIM like they did vs the US they're cooked.
I absolutely despise dumb penalties.
@@Madmartigan6 Same, but when you take the whole penalty madness out for a second - there are many gaping holes within this team. And we all know Czechia is seeking to prevent Canada seeking redemption because of you-know-what.
@ Ya for sure. Game is not going well right now... Canada already has 27 fkn PIM 🙈
@@Madmartigan6 Proof of my thesis. We LOST!!! (Who trusts Cameron or his assistants to make these players disciplined?)
@@dukeofrodtown1705 That challenge of the no goal was the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
We have momentum and he completely deflates the team taking a bench minor...
Worst team Canada has iced in years, maybe decades. At least other teams that choked in the knockout stages had decent players but just underperformed. This team is mediocre on paper and worse on the ice.
The players were picked based on "who you know" and not who's actually talented. Pure hockey politics and hand picked friends.
I genuinely think anyone who singles out players on this team should never be allowed to have an opinion regarding hockey. The hate for guys like Cowan and Dickinson is just unhinged. No they aren't playing well, but there's a whole lot more who are playing worse. But regardless, the fault falls completely on this god awful roster selection, and easily the worst coach out there, dude is more useless than Sheldon Keefe. It's also worth noting that whenever western Canadian players are overlooked, Canada tends to under perform. But with all this being said, it's the World Juniors, people, especially Canadians blow these tournys way out of proportion and act like they're the Olympics.
There is no 'Team Canada' at all, there is just a collection/selection of excellent players, but there is no team. Canadian problem is not with players, but with current coaches and preparation for Championship. Unfortunately. Life-long ''Montreal Canadians'' fan from Latvia.
Canadiens*
Lets go Czechia! I believe in you boys 🦁🍻🏒🇨🇿🇨🇿
czech REPUBLIC you brainlet
Watching this after getting knocked out by Czechia. I saw it coming, team was to undisciplined to make it to the medal round.
I blame justin trudeau
Who do you blame for your brain injury?
We lost to Latvia in the round robin, good on Latvia, but that happening showed me this team was not ready for this tourney so no surprise...
Well thats what happens when you cut or dont even invite your top players. Cristall, Sennecke, Lindstrom, Iginla, Hage, Greentree, Misa and Yakemchuk all should of been there but Hockey Canada picked favourites rather than picking the best.
How would you want Lindstrom and Iginla to go out there?? on sleds? Because they’re both injured. Lindstrom literally hasn’t played all year. Dude I’m American and I don’t even follow your junior league and I know more about it than you do and you’re allegedly Canadian. Good Lord. Maybe this is why you guys lose. You don’t know as much about the sport as you pretend.
Českooo baby🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿 2 years in a row + this time we beat Canada in Canada.. Can’t believe what did I just witness.. Chants against refs after game were just pathetic 😂
But accurate. Delay of game call for that goalie interference when the Czechia defenseman pushes him in? Knee on knee that wasn’t a penalty let along a major? Knee on knee that wasn’t a penalty but called in the third that resulted in a goal? Czechia hits Meckenna with a forearm to the back of the head, head first into the glass and no called, the weak slash and dive call? The officiating was atrocious Czechia got a handout with those refs and a handout with the review team
But you're proud of beating a team none of us thought would win. So there's that 😂😂😂😂
@@jay7T6 yeah sure reactions by other fans confirm your words LMAO
@@jay7T6 yea and they acted like they won gold. thats how much of a presence and power house of a team that canada has put in for so long that when teams beat canada its more meaningful than any other win
@@MrRicobadass "yea and they acted like they won gold"
Same as Canadians react after every of their goals in this match.
Czech here, cannot wait for tonight's game, shit's gonna be 🔥
GL 😈
Their entire team is 5'11 170lbs mostly with rich, privileged backgrounds. Its like they just cloned the same dude over and over again.
My thought exactly. Literally all the exact same.
Most hockey players who make it far are from rich backgrounds. They’ve always had the means to play hockey a lot and get good food.
Every single hockey player grew up rich
To be able to play hockey is a privilege.
@@ctaylor8003Maybe in Canada. In Europe the vast majority are regular working class and middle class.
George played awesome.
I saw an interview where they said they purposefully did not chose "the best players" the went for what they thought would provide the " best chemistry". So basically if the chemistry doesn't actually pan out you're left with a objectively inferior team. Building your team around such an intangible thing as "chemistry" makes it clear as to why we performed so poorly. Field the best team.....if they gel, great if not then you might not win. So be it. But choosing inferior players because you THINK they will gel simply guarantees you will loose.
I just hope that Czechia can punish this team Canada. They need some kind of reminder, that you cant win without heart left on the ice.
Latvia already did that.... what else do you want?
@@Baneslayerto see canada get knocked out. absolute gongshow of a team
This team wasn't even assembled properly. Yak and Parake are laughing right now. I'm not even watching tonights game
im watching tonights game to see canada get knocked out by the czechs
I honestly think a better team could be constructed from all the players they cut or didn't even invite to camp.
The teams plays without passion or effort. Like they've been drafted so why try or risk getting hurt? No pride, no teamwork. No surprise.

Aaaand they are out in quarters
Canada also doesnt have a development program like the US either
Canada ends this tournament without a single player scoring more than one goal.
Bradly Nadeau had 2
Gavin is the only talented player on the team and when he isn’t on the ice Carter George has to have the entire team on his back which isn’t fair because he is the goaile
As yes maple syrup flavored Canadian tears my favorite hahahaha
we decided to leave our top scorers at home and try to build teams like the usa did in the past now we getting exposed, you gotta bring the best talent to win best on best, end of story
Embarrassed a nation
You were right. 4-3 Czechia
It seems like Canada doesn't even want to play. At all. Except maybe the 3rd period against Czechia, but those were only glimpses of the past. I hope you guys get this solved and start playing like Canada should. This is like watching Finnish ski jumping come crashing down about 15 years ago, and it still hasn't recovered.
Tsekki parempi! Kanada on vaan paska ja hyvä niin😂
@@bruhdude6712 Juu oli kyllä parempi, mutta mitä pahaa kanukit on sulle tehny? Kussu aamumuroihin vai?
If the population demographics in Canada were represented realistically, the team would have 3 white people then the rest of the team and coaching staff would be Punjabi.
You're a much better person than me, I would've been streaming the game on my phone at the wedding😅
They need a guy who can run a powerplay like Parekh or Yakemchuk. Also, they are clearly being outcoached. Dave Cameron isn't cutting it, they need a guy like Dale Hunter.
Canada, the most overrated team ever?
there is not much cohesion up and down the roster. alot of i'll fo it! no i'll do it! the only positive is that considering the amount of odd man opps canada has given up, the goaltending has been pretty good.
I saw a rumor about Hockey Canada making selections for camp based of PR, and not inviting players that have signs of risky off ice behaviours. I don't like that idea, but it starts to make sense especially with the trial from London starting soon. And of course Cameron's heavy OHL bias is partly to blame too, he just didn't have a Bedard to bail him out like 2022.
Canada wasn't diverse enough. We need more pajeets. We can save money on hockey helmets too.
Went to the Fin vs Can game. Yes, we won, but it was a snorefest. It was like we had already peaked, and all the elite teams were excelling as the tournament went on. If we are going to win another game, we need to shoot more than pass. It's like if they can't see the net they pass till they do. We are being out coached big time.
Yeah so when we lose to you, it's because you played so good but when we win over you, it's just because you played worse and it has nothing to do with us. Obviously.
? I don't really care to be honest. Stopped cheering for Canada, when Canada stopped cheering for me. They are a reflection of our society as a whole these days.
no Winter Classic vid?
Team isn’t coached correctly just a bunch of future stars out there everynight
Our coach is an air head
Need a whole rebuild on Hockey Canada to get people who know how to develop and build players for winning teams, and heck coaches too for that matter.
Easton Cowan fits perfectly in with the Maple Leafs philosophy
This is gonna be a USA game eventually aswell anyway. Canadians might get curling back again when Sweden backs down
Hockey Canada deserves a loss. How could they possibly leave all these talented players, like not even invited to camp, and then allow the lack of practices? What a bunch of idiots. You could pull a random Redditor to make the team and even they would do a better job ffs
Lmao, maybe y'all just delusionally thought the worst Canada team we've had in years was a power house
No one thought that, it's the jersey we expect greatness from. Whoever put this team together needs to stop putting teams together.
@Madmartigan6 really because every TH-cam video when they selected the teams was about how team Canada was completely stacked and was going to dominate. Literally the dude that posted this video has a video about exactly that.
@@nickh9733 Yeah maybe some youtubers thought that 🤷♂️
@@Madmartigan6 yeah sure, k. I've been a Hockey fan for a long time. One thing is always true; team Canada is always blown out of proportion, they lose one game and everyone turns on them. It's been that way with every team in Canada for years.
@@nickh9733 Remember the 2021 World Championship when Canada lost the first 3 games? 2-0 to Latvia, 5-1 to the USA, 3-1 to Germany. I remember that tournament because I watch them all. Everyone was shitting on them so much, end of the day Canada won gold. Some teams deserve to be considered great though. When you have Crosby, Carter, Getzlaf... When you have McDavid. Sometimes the hype is real. This time around, nope.
Too many perimeter players bad coaches no heart .
1:36 is that Steve Ott in the back?
I saw a lot of people bring up the penalties. Especially after their elimination. However the penalties seem to be a product of bigger issues. They lacked situational awareness. They had poor team chemistry. They did not have a willingness to win as a team. They didn't leave their egos at the door. Some of them were trying to be the hero instead of just winning. I don't just think it is management. These kids know what this tournament can mean for their careers. I don't think any of them came to win. I think they all came to try and boost their own careers.
Spot on analysis
It’s not just the losses, but the aggressiveness. Canada has a hard time realizing the iihf is not NHL hockey. It costs them most of the losses.
i just feel like: We czechs are Canada´s kryptonite. Its funny, but also the amount of pressure canada´s representation gets from own media, and whole nation, must be crazy.
If you didn't see this coming, you don't watch games and know the players well
Mckenna is the best forward and he's only just turned 17. You need scorers that can bully their way into tough spots to score. This team sucks, whoever put it together is better suited to decide who makes the Mcnuggets and who makes the fries.
They left out sennecke, misa and iginla then wondered why they can't score 😂
Well, if the stupid team would stop taking penalties, maybe they would’ve won something. My three-year-old had more discipline in this team.
Give Mckenna some more icetime n let him cook
Counterpoint is that things werent right then in Halifax but enough clicked to overcome it
I think Canada played exactly how I would want them to play. /tips Team USA hat
If Canada stays out of the box they will win. If we see the same as US Czechia will score a bunch of PP goals and win simpel
No they wont'. They suck. They're untalented players.
Canada was just excellent against us Finns, what gives? I haven't watched their other games, but they outplayed us in every imaginable way
Hockey Canada between sex scandals and terrible decisions on management and roster construction has become a complete disgrace.
Ready for the excuses everyone
Canada Vs Refs
We've got more golds than most teams have medals
We're still better
They got lucky
Management is to blame
Waaaaaahhhhhhhh
We do have more gold. 😅
But no one is making those excuses lol. What I see is everyone talking about what horrible penalties these kids are taking. They can't stay disciplined and it's costing them.
Stil no even strength goals scored against them in 4 games.
@Madmartigan6 that doesn't matter to the current crop of kids does it.
Then you're not paying attention cause they're all the excuses I see, Eck even said management in this video 🤣
That's great? You still lost games.
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 Cool story.
@@Madmartigan6 🤣
When you neglect to pick a large number of the leading scorers in the W, O and Q you have another Team Canada built around the ‘system.’ Perhaps we have a no compete clause with the other nations.
The hockey program needs to be addressed, and other countries keep improving. Canada, not so much.
RIP Canadian hockey 1891-2025
Thank god they lost. Now I can watch good hockey for the rest of this tournament.
Bye bye Canada. Both team played their best, some weak calls from the refs, some bias from Canadian people. Booing a player that almost got his leg ripped of? Cmon people.. Canada was definitelly better 2. and 3. periods but Czechia had their hearts on the ice. And the discipline from Canada players was what lost you the game. GG and Canadians.. don't be so arrogant. 🏒
Hockey is officially America's game. Canada can no longer call it their national sport.
It is the dirty play that has disillusioned Canadians. It is poor, and it should not be supported. These are just kids, and this shouldn't be condoned.
