The americans got smashed completely lol. Did you miss hutson crying and the americans in the penalty box wiping blod of their faces? Also the bodylock by hutson, what an embarrasing move
@KSmusiclessons Not entirely sure, but i heard yesterday, the US have around 500.000 licensed junior hockey players. Sweden have in total about 75.000 licensed players, that is Adults, womens league, the lot. So surely there is always a bit of that 'David vs. Goliath' scenario in there whenever sweden faces Canada or the US.. :)
Mustang swede, Pretty sure that 500k figure is total boys I girls including youth hockey. Not a chance there are 500k Junior players in the US. Probably 5k at most aged 16-20.
Mustang, On a per capita basis, Sweden has more people play, on a factor of 7. Sweden absolutely gets a better athlete from their population than the USA. Think of it this way, if you picked a team from MN and Mass to play Sweden for equivalent population you would have just Rinzel, Chesley, Pohlkamp, Snuggerud, Smith & Leonard.
hahaha, your Canadian accent speaks for itself. I was like, "is this Canadian praising the U.S.A. team before you mentioned you were Canadian. Good on you, a true hockey fan!
As for a player that impressed me the most - Servac Petrovsky. We expected Sykora, Mesar or Dvorsky to be good, but Petrovsky stole the show. Gajan was also brilliant from that team. Other than that I think many sleep on Lane Hutson from team US. The kid had monstrous minutes and didn't ever look tired.
People also sleep a lot on Lane Hutson's d partner, Ryan Chesley. Not an offensive dman but a really, really strong defender and can absolutely fucking eat minutes. Only had less time than Hutson on ice bc he doesn't do powerplays but as a caps fan im so happy to have him in our pipeline
I was quite impressed also with the two 17 year olds of team Finland, Helenius and Hemming, they played 3rd or 4th line with limited time on ice but they did really well in that protection/shutdown role. The other one most sleep on for team USA is Frank Nazar, his assists are so good, thrilling to think Chicago will soon have him feed apples to Bedard while Gajan guards their net.
As an American, the Swedes really really well. Their style and strategy was played to perfection, imo. I am actually surprised the US was able to match it because they normally don't play that style. US was just slightly winning the battles more, just slightly but enough for an edge. Lucky bounces didn't favor either team. It was clean skill on both sides.
As an American who just moved to sweden a few years ago I loved the idea of Sweden winning as the underdog in their home land but my heart will always be with the USA and the American Dream
This USA team showed up every game not only expecting to win, but knowingly they would win. This is what confidence is on ice. Sweden, incredible host. Awesome fans, awesome atmosphere.
This is hockey. Keep it raw and real. Don't like the players pissing off the crowd? Then go watch a different game, simple as that. This is part of what attracted so many people to watch the sport. If you want class and politeness, go watch golf
Really good tournament. If USA did this to Canada, I'd be pretty ticked off for a bit... but overall, I love when hockey gets this kind of spice to it. A little drama, some personality, some pride, heroes and villains... just adds another dimension to a game already packed with excitement. And when it's an international tournament that is only in the world's eye for 2 weeks, it's high stakes but it's also easy to turn it off mostly until we start ramping up into the next year's tournament.
Yes I think the Rangers stole another great prospect after the 20s in the draft Perrault is just a freshman and sykora is also a Ranger. Perrault is having a fantastic freshman year starting for the best team in division 1 college hockey.
Leonard. That goal was a playoffs-quality effort. Willpower. Then blow a kiss, LOL. Loved Sweden, though - nothing but complete respect for their team and their fans.
I actually think Augustine was the best goalie this tournament together with Gajan. I dont see how they selected Havelid to be in the all-star team who let in so many softies.
For sure! We need some solid goaltending in Detroit. Just when we are ready for the run. Augustine I hope will be our next Osgood 🙏 Now if we could just find that Scotty Bowman type coach.
The best part of the game wasn't even shown on ESPN. The USA boys singing their hearts out to the National Anthem was the best part for me. I choked up.
An American hockey fan here. Very proud of team USA gold, but hesitate to applaud their arrogant behavior. There is an important difference between confident and arrogant. Great athletes don’t taunt. They don’t need to.
As a Sweden, congrats to the US for a well deserved win. Felt like they were the best team in general this year. In this game they played well tactically and manage to shut us down going into their zone very well. Countless times they pushed us into going in to their zone on the left side along the boards which always fizzled out into nothing. We needed to find some way to break that up, play in the middle, take a chance with a deke into center ice, move the play to the other side, something. Also unlucky on the 2+2 high sticking penalty. Yes, a high stick, but the defenseman was pushed on his shoulder going into the situation, that probably made his motion to bat the puck out of the air exaggerated, unlucky situation which cost valuable time. Funny seeing al the juvenile celebrations, felt like that was a thing throughout many teams, but it's the World Juniors so it kind of belongs. :) Bad form by the US to start a fight at the end of the game, cmon just finish the game already, no need to be complete jerks. Appearantly many players of these two teams had faced off before in other juniors tournament, it was suggested that some bad blood had carried over from those times maybe.
Pretty sure it was not the US that started the fight in the end of that. Refs were holding on to the American player while a swede tried hilarious to make a connection only to miss nearly all his shots, only for 2 swedes to double up on another American player and just pull him down to the ice. Just one of several embarrassing moments for team Sweden in that game. Fans going nuts over a clean hit, the list goes on. Sadly, for Sweden, the best team won rather dominantly.
don’t agree th US “strted” fights, 1ce th game got out of hand thr was a lot of nasty go’n on, Both Ways! could th Ynks have handled tht endgame beter? 4 Sure, but as u said, th’r Kids, & tht’s th way th gm is playd now as wel, & yes, both these groups have ben thru several bitter battles ovr th last few yrs! in tht environmnt it was bound to boil ovr a bit
@lucasrydstrom7654 lmao. If getting smashed translates to Swedish as winning the fights and blowing the back out of the Swedish team on the score board, then yes, I can accept it.
@@redhunter68 Yall got absolutely f:ed up, just thought it was funny. Blaming the refs for little midget hutson getting jabs in his face, bleeding and crying lol. Just dont call us soft
So happy the Caps picked up Leonard. Kid has grit - tons of talent of course, but grit. Call it Tkachuk-esque or whatever you like; all I know is the Caps play lights out hockey when they put grit at the center of their game and this guy could get us there in a real way for the group of young talent we’ve got now. Also, I wanna say congrats to the Swedes for creating such a fantastic hockey environment. As a fan of the sport, I’ve loved everything that’s come out of - or been done in - Sweden as far as hockey goes. Another real country full of leaders for the greatest sport in the world.
What a tournament. A shame I wasn't able to watch the games since I was in Wisconsin during the regular season, and the playoffs since it was either too early in the morning or it happened while I was working. But of course, I kept an eye out. USA was so good, and as soon as Canada lost to Czechia in the first round (which is definitely the biggest shocker, even to this day. Like, I was expecting a USA and Canada Gold Medal game), I knew this would be the year for the US, and they proved me right. Congrats to USA for winning gold! You made America proud! Even if I didn't watch the gold medal game, I am glad I got to witness USA winning gold (I will post my reaction to that game soon).
That is definitely impressive. Not only that, but they beat Canada...........IN THE FIRST ROUND! Czechia was definitely the Florida Panthers of the tournament.
When you’re playing in the other team’s arena you’re the villains. That crowd chanting at the opponents was good clean fun. The US players were giving it back with a smile. In an odd way it’s letting the fans know that they’re doing their jobs quite well.
As a Canadian fan, I LOATHE the Americans when it comes to hockey (just hockey, I swear) but even I don't see anything wrong with the celebrations. It was nice to see hockey be fun.
USA is no1 in hockey now. Sorry Canada. Not because of this tournament. Our Development program puts more 1st round picks than all the leauges combined, our USHL guys are better than any CHL team and our college guys are now 40 percent of NHL players.
It’s said that “that copying is the highest form of flattery” Team USA winning is a win for North America. Team USA is built to compete vs Canada. This American team found its legs. It had everything. Great goaltending, solid Defensive corp & dynamic forwards. No shame for Swedes losing to USA & Canada over the years. We all know the Swedes are a top team every year.
The US Men had plenty of MOXY!!!, they were not Intimidated in the least, they thrived off of Sweeden's home crowd!!!,and never once doubted that they would be Victorious!!!!, Great Win USA!!!!, Congratulations World Champion USA!!!!
Hell yeah, just raw emotion man. This means alot to these guys, and all these people complaining have no clue how they would act in this type of game. This was a really good game up until the very end. They deserve to celebrate
Future Jets Captain/ Team USA Captain Rutger McGroarty of course. What an absolute truck of a human being and already a great leader. Jets have another potential sidekick for Lowry when the GOATrty enters the show.
as a canadian who moved to utah for my wife and stepdaughter, I loved seeing the USA succeed after canada got the boot. great world juniors this yr ngl
Melovsky, Strbak, Brandsegg Nygaard, and Buium really impressed me this tourney maybe I had my expectations too high but nobody from the big teams really impressed me that much compared to expectations other than Buium
Hävelid got us to the finals but the 3-1 goal was brutal and he's out of position on the 4-2 goal as well alltough he gets screened by his own man. The US was just too opportunistic on the offense and blocked what felt like 100 shots in their own end, well deserved win
Watching it live i hated the cellys because i was trying to hold onto some hope and that wasn't helping. I have no real issue with it now though, game is long over, all my hope was smashed into bits long ago
Ah, shucks. Canada lost. Now I'll get ahead of this. I'll get ahead of this. If Canada, like every year pretty much in the world juniors, if they had their actual roster, they're going to be the favorites. I think the only player that the United States is missing is Logan Cooley. Obviously, that's an enormous impact. This U. S. Team's loaded though, without him." Canada is missing a boatload. And I mean, when it's Conor Bedard being the main one, it's like. It's kind of hard to chirp their junior team considering..." Just thought I'd post Ray whitneys thoughts here
Kokko, the Fin's goalie, was incredible in the quarters. Yeah, USA beat 'em. But they were held to 3 goals. Watching these games and highlights gets me pumped to want to do some traveling next year. How cool would that be?!!
@@TC-dw6wg True. To be more direct than the previous message. Johnny Hawkey asked which player we thought was great in the tournament. He didn't specify just this game.
Personally,I think they took it to far,Sweden has beautiful people,beautiful country and they put on a amazing event,let alone team Sweden had a amazing run.I was cheering for them,so at the end of all this DO show alittle constraint towards the host fans,,it does show class. Of course celebrate,you won,anyway,
The Swedes and their booing everyone and everything that wasn't Swedish prompted the reaction from team USA. You can have that much disrespect and expect that their won't be any push-back. That, and these are 18 year old kids. IMO, the blown kiss was gold...literally.
Axel Sandin Pellika a bit of a disappointment for me. Sure, scored 2 goals in the semi+quarter but did not play with the swagger I thought he’d do. He’s better in the SHL than he was in the WJC. Now injured for 2 months, I think. The one that impressed me was Otto Stenberg who quietly put up point per game numbers while playing third line minutes. From having a hard time to even score a point in the SHL to make such an impact at the WJC. Born in 2005, has to preform next year for Sweden in Ottawa. Lastly, that crowd was insane. Goosebumps all game.
I played hockey all my 64 year life. Hockey needs more fights. Hip checks. It's been pussified over the decades to bad. Bring back the old big bad Bruins and Canadians rivalrioes
Came here to say how good i thought this particular vid was, stayed for the unreasonbly high intelligence in the comment section. Johhny Hawkey, you keep doin' your thing man bc we LOVE what you got goin' on
@@tripanzo ja och vi ägde matchen under mer tid men några kontringar och tur målet på målvaktens skridskor haha kom igen den matchen kunde gått som sist dom möte 2018 tror jag 😉 skrev på svenska om du undrar haha men du kan nog bara tala ett språk om du är American, hmm jag kan fyra och du tycker att jag borde stava ditt språk bättre haha men grattis till segern American boy
"We love the boos," said defenceman Lane Hutson. "We want keep giving them something to boo about."
They fully embraced being the villain in this tourney. Everybody was rooting against them and they still got it done
Canadian, proud of the boys to the South, well played.

Appreciate ya'!

Classy move by the Swedes to send out that 6’5 goon for his first shift of the game to get his ass kicked by the smallest guy on the ice.
The americans got smashed completely lol. Did you miss hutson crying and the americans in the penalty box wiping blod of their faces? Also the bodylock by hutson, what an embarrasing move

The best team won, Augustine absolutely brought it in the gold medal game. I am proud of the swedish team even though yet another silver medal hurts.
As a Red Wings fan, I'm ready for them to call him up any day now :D
Isnt that how it is every year? I dont normally see a Gold medal game where theres an undeserving team lol.

"Win with some class" is only ever aimed at US athletes. Doesn't matter the sport.
But every other nation that acts the same way is completely exempt.
Sending out a goon to hurt kids while down 4 with 30 seconds left is classy
I've noticed this as well. Nothing wrong with enjoying it and giving it back in high emotional situations.
As for a player that impressed me the most - Servac Petrovsky. We expected Sykora, Mesar or Dvorsky to be good, but Petrovsky stole the show. Gajan was also brilliant from that team.

Gabe Perreault's performance all tournament long has Rangers fans literally salivating. Dude can pass, and dude can score.
He’ll be on the 2025 junior team too! Expect big numbers.
Good hands and good IQ but his skating will limit his ceiling.

If Canada, like every year pretty much in the world juniors, if they had their actual roster, they're going to be the favorites. I think the only player that the United States is missing is Logan Cooley. Obviously, that's an enormous impact. This U. S. Team's loaded though, without him."
Canada is missing a boatload. And I mean, when it's Conor Bedard being the main one, it's like. It's kind of hard to chirp their junior team considering..."
Just thought I'd post Ray whitneys thoughts here
ottawa next christmas is gonna be nuts. Ted Nolan should be the coach next year and have a summer camp this off-season. :^V
Kokko, the Fin's goalie, was incredible in the quarters. Yeah, USA beat 'em. But they were held to 3 goals. Watching these games and highlights gets me pumped to want to do some traveling next year. How cool would that be?!!
I agree, he was amazing!
Unfortunately this video is about USA vs Sweden!
in which the question who in this tournament impressed you the most to which the this man gave his answer @@TC-dw6wg
@@TC-dw6wgunfortunately seems you haven’t watched the video
@@TC-dw6wg True. To be more direct than the previous message. Johnny Hawkey asked which player we thought was great in the tournament. He didn't specify just this game.
juniors is supposed to be a fun tournament. Lets the kids celly and have a good time.
Gavin Brindley was a nice surprise. Solid 2nd round pickup for Columbus.
Personally,I think they took it to far,Sweden has beautiful people,beautiful country and they put on a amazing event,let alone team Sweden had a amazing run.I was cheering for them,so at the end of all this DO show alittle constraint towards the host fans,,it does show class. Of course celebrate,you won,anyway,
Haha! Nice contradiction.
The Swedes and their booing everyone and everything that wasn't Swedish prompted the reaction from team USA. You can have that much disrespect and expect that their won't be any push-back. That, and these are 18 year old kids. IMO, the blown kiss was gold...literally.
Caps fan here ryan lenord better be a hershey bear next year.
Hutson got that DAWG in him.
I can't wait for Leonard to join the Caps
He's gonna be a fun spark for the team in a few years
As a Habs fan I wanted Hutson to win it. Gotta have that mentality with the big team.
Axel Sandin Pellika a bit of a disappointment for me. Sure, scored 2 goals in the semi+quarter but did not play with the swagger I thought he’d do. He’s better in the SHL than he was in the WJC. Now injured for 2 months, I think. The one that impressed me was Otto Stenberg who quietly put up point per game numbers while playing third line minutes. From having a hard time to even score a point in the SHL to make such an impact at the WJC. Born in 2005, has to preform next year for Sweden in Ottawa. Lastly, that crowd was insane. Goosebumps all game.
Lekkerimaki impressed me the most
I played hockey all my 64 year life. Hockey needs more fights. Hip checks. It's been pussified over the decades to bad. Bring back the old big bad Bruins and Canadians rivalrioes
Does Canada play hockey anymore
Came here to say how good i thought this particular vid was, stayed for the unreasonbly high intelligence in the comment section.
Johhny Hawkey, you keep doin' your thing man bc we LOVE what you got goin' on
kind of funny how USA and Sweden and their 6-2 gold medals matched the final score.
Coming back here from this year. Canada…..👀
No mention of Cutter Gauthier is wild, clear most impressive player
as a sweed it sucks but Team usa was fast on the turns took their chances and is un amasing team !!
Just AMASING. 😂
@@TC-dw6wgwell you try writing in Swedish ehh?
@@tripanzo ja och vi ägde matchen under mer tid men några kontringar och tur målet på målvaktens skridskor haha kom igen den matchen kunde gått som sist dom möte 2018 tror jag 😉 skrev på svenska om du undrar haha men du kan nog bara tala ett språk om du är American, hmm jag kan fyra och du tycker att jag borde stava ditt språk bättre haha men grattis till segern American boy
Sandin-pellika and Trey Augustine??? GO WINGS BABYYYYYY
Royal Oak, Michigan.. you!? I miss the good old days. I have your profile picture hanging up on the wall. 👍
Gold Confirmed
Cruise control boys
@@kevinthedp chippy lol
For me the player who was the best was either Axel Sandin-Pelikka or Jiří Kulich
Can’t wait to see Sandin Pellikka in the winged wheel
@:50 I understand if the swed still had the puck on his stick but that was a bit late and high probably 2 min
