- Canada and Slovakia battled in the final quarterfinal of the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship, and featured an unbelievable performance from Slovakia's goaltender Adam Gajan, and another amazing Connor Bedard highlight reel goal.
- บันเทิง
Slovak goalie played insane props to him.
Canada also hit the goal 🥅 post 6 times so he had a little bit of luck don’t you think?
@@andyp2971 the post is part of the goalie's equipment. Hitting that many posts means that goalie is aware of where they are at all times!
@@LetsGoWrongboarding Yeah goalies positioning is based on the posts so I get your point in a way, maybe you could say he positioned well enough to not save shots he shouldn't need to save?
110%
Europeans always have great goaltending, a skilled forward group, but really awful defense most of time where Canada had 40+ shots, and not needing to break sweat. They always only need one mcjesus or a Bedard for getting timely offense, actually same year when Canada had Jordan Eberle scoring last minute in regulation.
You gotta feel for the Slovakian goalie for saving more then 50 shots!

As a Canadian, hats off to Slovakia, y'all didn't go down without a fight and almost came out with a win too. GG's!
And they didn't even have their best player!
the referee was part of Chinadian team?
I wouldn’t say gg they definitely trying to injure bedard
Wdym how he was hit it was called.
The goalie played great. However, they were lucky to Canada hit five goal post in the third period and one goal post in overtime. That game could easily have been 7 to 3 go Canada go.
Once again, the Slovakian goalie puts on the performance of the tournament against Canada, IN Canada. Once again, the Slovakians take us to WAR every minute of a hockey game.
You guys always push us to the absolute limit, hats off to you Slovakia! Love and respect from Canada.
We love Canadians as well. What a war and tangible love for this (in the end always) "uniting" sport. Cheers from Slovakia.

As a Slovak, this was an instant classic! A pleasure to watch, just like the Finland-Sweden game. Good job both teams.
The level of compete they brought was insane. much respect!
As a Canadian living in Prague for 30 years, I loved the physical play of the Slovaks...I think they have a lot of respect from the Canadian players and fans...
I'm Canadian and as I was watching the third, I just kept laughing. I didn't even care who won anymore, I was just so thrilled to be watching such an exciting game, and I think the fact that one team was a big underdog made it even more exciting.
@@jasondashney Some fans are upset at the cross checks & big hits but that was literally Slovakia playing how Canada used to play against the Soviet Union back in the day, I wasn't alive at the time but I've watched the 1976 Canada Cup and a few other old tournaments where Canada just beat the hell out of Russian players. Bedard taking it and keeping his composure to come out with a win was to me the most impressive thing he's done in this tournament out all the very impressive things he's done.
Instant classic is right!!!! What a show!!
Heroický výkon, bratři. Nechybělo málo a vyřadili jste nejlepší mužstvo na turnaji. Dotahovat proti Kanadě je prakticky nemožné, ale vám se to povedlo.
Tato vaše generace ještě světu ukáže.
Všichni příští soupeři Kanady mohou jenom snít o tom, že by odehráli takhle těsný zápas. I Švédy si namazali na chleba. Zatímco z vás mají ještě teď stažené půlky. Málem rupli v ČF doma.
Vďaka za uznanie brat
tak a teraz fandime Vam bratia :) mame celkom solidnu generaciu, ale to co mate Vy je ina liga = dufam ze vyhrate zlato, mate na to !!
Als Neutraler Zuschauer war die Slowakei 🇸🇰 besser. Wirklich gut bei den Kanadiern war Bedard.Bei der Slowakei 🇸🇰 die Mannschaft.
Slovakia is really great, good match Brothers 💪🇨🇦🇸🇰
Věřím že pokud se s námi utkají znova tak Kanaďani padnou
Naši musí porazit Švédy snad si kluci vše nevystrileli
Kanada bez Bedarda by byla zklamáním ten kluk dělá nesmysli ale žádnej hráč není víc než tým
This was by far one of the best hockey games I've ever seen!
Records broken, insane goaltending, plenty of drama and Bedard finishing it in OT on perhaps one of the prettiest goals in WJC history after nearly losing it minutes before.
If you want to introduce someone to the best sport in the world, show them this fucking instant classic.
Seeing the kids crying reminds us all how young these kids are and how much playing for your country means to these kids.
Agreed!
Perfectly said ❤

Hats off to this Slovakian team. They played with the heart of Lions. That game was anyone's to win. The Slovak team deserves a medal for their gallantry alone. What a great bunch of young men on that Slovak team.
i agree. Playing like they did, they would have beat Sweden and maybe the US a second time if the seeds had been different.
Slovakia played a dirty game. No sportsmanship. And the ref were blind.
Except the double cross check fellers :)
@@longsmile2009 Have you noticed how people win cups?
L take
If I didn’t know this was the quarter-final game, I would have thought it was the gold medal game. Absolute hats off to both teams. Such high level of play.
One of the most thrilling quarter-final game in WJC history imo. What a gritty game Slovakia played! 🇨🇦🇸🇰
Must be the first one u watched if u think that
@@tamman994 Actually there was a lot more after the whistle stuff going on, without penalties being called for a while. It was grittier than most games and the Slovaks can certainly dish out the hits. The Ref could've called more penalties on Slovakia (in the usual IIHF way). We'll see what the US vs Canada game will be like?
I think you misspelled "dirty".
Dirty, not gritty.
still can't believe it. just wow.

Canadain here, but I genuinely feel awful for the Slovaks man. They played their hearts out in this game and seeing them get so emotional post-game was just gut-wrenching. Hold your heads up high boys, caused you played AMAZINGLY well! Its a shame someone had to lose this game cause it was one hell of a thriller from both ends!
To our Slovak brothers and sisters; you guys should be so proud of your team. You beat the Americans 6-3 in the preliminary games, and you brought Canada to overtime. Those were the two best teams (on paper). Major respect to you guys.
Slovakia put up a real fight!
Respect from Finland
That Slovakian goalie is the true MVP
He was the player of the game in this one. Glad he got a souvenir watch in the end.
Nah bedard is. Sorry. That goalie got twerked on

🤩🤩 Hi, I'm Branislav from Slovakia! We only have a population of 5 million, but our young players were fantastic in this match! Congratulations to a big Canada and good luck! ✨✨
Your country constructed an amazing team. It was an honour. ;)
This is an all time game. Leaving this here for when I inevitably come back to watch it again
Bedard is on another planet, Slovaks may have lost the game but guys you won our hearts
Pause this video at 8:59. Usually teams don't get this close to eliminating Canada from tournaments. Slovaks respect a ton of respect for this, especially when you realise that similar teams played last summer and Canada won 11-1 back then.
Teď v češtině, odvedli jste skvělý výkon, nemáte se zač stydět. Naopak, těším se, co tihle kluci ještě dokážou.
Canada is Canada. They will always be the best team in the world with the best mentality. If someone had told me before the game that it would be decided in extra time, I wouldn't have believed them. As a Slovak, I expected us to lose at least 7:1. I'm sorry that we didn't keep the score 3:1 with Switzerland after the second period. We could play against Germany. It's a pity, see you in next year and I'm already looking forward to the next tournament.
You guys were amazing. Heads up high
You guys have a great team, you should be proud.
Yeah that Swizz game really fucked with you big time. So unnecessary but yet so important in the end. However, it's great to see Slovakia back in the game. Have not seen a better Slovakian team since your WC victory.
Bro, this is a huge moment! Slovak talent is coming!
well played from the Slovaks, huge respect from Canada brother.
This game left me with a bittersweet feeling. Slovak boys fought like I probably never seen them before. I’m beyond proud. This was hell of a game. Thank you for that. That’s why hockey is my number one sport in the🌎

I absolutely love how game Slovakia 🇸🇰 was this night. Their goalie was stellar, Nemecs was clutch, and the whole team played gritty to make it a fantastic game. I truly feel bad that they had to experience coming up short after such an effort. Seems to have mostly come down to the fact that we 🇨🇦 just had Bedard. We’re lucky for that. Over the moon, but lucky none the less.
I’m just grateful to all these players for showing us the fruits of all their lifetimes hard work. Amazing hockey!!!!!

@@niagarajoe4402 Bro Canadiens had their asses clenched until Beddard scored in OT...
Habs should draft slovakian goalie, as your goalies are very bad. Yes with Slafkovski Slovakia would have won this, or more likely won the game with Swizz. They knew not to release him to the tournament. 😛
Because Montreal rather helps team Canada then Slovakia. Thats why Slafkovsky is not there. Great job for that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Huge shouts to Slovakia. Created an insane game. Your goalie played incredible as well. GGs.
Slovakias Goalie was fantastic! Someone draft that kid!!
He would need to play good in more than one game to be drafted. He was only their third goalie coming into the tournament. But it was a good one for sure. Never seen him play before tonight though, so not sure how good he is overall.

He didn't play against Finland since then he played every game

@@greatslavia9662 He has 2 wins and 2 loses (including the Q-final). Is 5th in GAA. And 3rd in save percentage.
He had a very good game, but also had some luck, with Canada hitting the post/cross bar several times. Overall stats for the tournament are good, but not great. Like any goalie, part of that is dependent on his team as well.
He may get drafted, but not solely on this tournament.
As a Canadian, Slovakia has nothing to be ashamed of. You played a great game!
nemec should be ashamed of blowing a kiss too early
After Canada, I cheer for Slovakia. The fight and spirit you guys have, is something to behold. A+ game Slovakia, A+.
I was at a restaurant during the last period of the game, didn't order until the small intermission between the third and OT. Was scared I'd miss something or we'd lose if I peeled my eyes from the screen. Watching OT was insanely nerve wracking but I'm so happy to have witnessed that beauty of a goal by Bedard. Good job Slovakia, you guys put up one hell of a fight!

I've seen Bedard play live and he is absolutely worth the price of admission. I'm an Oiler's fan and I think he's better than McDavid. He has a tiny bit better vision, the same hands, and a better shot. When McDavid loses a step in his 30s he's going to be in trouble whereas Bedard's game doesn't have nearly the potential for the drop off. It's like how Ovi's shot means he doesn't have to have speed to keep scoring in his late 30s.
@@jasondashney yeah but I don't think mcdavid's game is going to fall off that much eventually he's going to be similar to Crosby and Ovi
@@godslayer8894 McDavid will have to reinvent his game for sure though, is what I'm saying, or else Draisaitl will have a far better 30's than he will. Bedard's game right here right now is already poised to age well.
@@jasondashney I for sure agree with you bedard's game is definitely poised to age he is considered by everyone as a generational Talent
Very impressed by Slovakia...they played thier hearts out and were physical..even if there were a few cheap shots in there. That goalie is unreal too. You could argue the bounces didn't really go Canada's way...they could have easily had 8 or 9 goals but hit alot of posts and were stonewalled a few times by a good goalie. As a Canadian I'm glad to see other teams are closing the talent gap and there are more teams being competitive now in each group. Its good for Canada to be in these close ones.
The refs were trash too
Slovakia tried to play dirty…..hitting matter the whistle….face washing….to try and knock Canada off their game….a dirty way to try and get an advantage…..they got LUCKY to be in this game at all…..Bedard hit the post multiple times and this game should have been over again and again
@@imBigo nah call were fair and could have been much worst but they didnt want the game to be played on it. Bedard neck crosscheck could have been a 5min and dude delaying the game standing on the puck could have given a penality on top of it but they didnt do it because it would have been lame. They played well but clearly not enough, the goalie and posts kept them in, dont blame it on the ref they did the right thing.
@@niagarajoe4402 can you blame a country not even twice the size of Toronto for trying everything to win? lol it's all part of the game..

Credit to Slovakia, especially its goalie, for putting up a fight and making Canada have to earn this win. Go Canada go, on to the semis!!!
Brilliant match! One of the best!
Greetings from Slovakia
With over 50 shots, I’m surprised that the Slovak goalie kept his save percentage over .900 that’s just insane to me
And our goalie even played this and previous game with temprature about 38 C
I had no idea Slovakia was THAT good. The entire country should be proud. Unbelievable effort, and a very talented team honestly.
The fans got the money's worth and the emergency department at the hospital has near before had to deal with so many heart attack victims. Unbelievable game. The Slovaks played a helluva game.
Absolutely a generational talent 👏🏾 it's an honor to see him play.
I completely agree I can't wait to see him in the NHL

Damn Slovakia was impressive during this game, and especially the last period. They really deserved to win. I'm speechless.
Deserved to win? C'mon. Canada hit 5 posts in the third period and ot and those don't even count as shots on net. The Slovaks played great and the result is about the best they could expect.

Absolutely amazing game. Both teams were on fire. After the heartstopper that was Sweden-Finland, I didn't expect much from this game. While Slovakia really impressed me against the US, Canada is Canada. Moreover, the match was in the middle of the night for me. However, I took a nap after our game and then saw this game. And holy moly. It was the best match of the tournament, easily. Of course it would be Bedard that nailed it in the end, but my god, what a match by Slovakia. What a comeback. Comebacks! Incredible.
Slovakia will be a monster going forward. It'll be really interesting to see them play in the regular WC and Olympic games. It wouldn't surprise me if the NHL picks up a lot of them as well.
When you consider the number of players playing in Slovakia vs Canada...Slovakia punches way above it's weight. As does the Czech Rep. (sorry living here 30 years I cant use Czechia), in fact all European teams ice great teams with far smaller talent pool than Canada US and (oh well) Russia (maybe you'll be back in few decades).
Adam Gajan will play in the NHL he was unbelievable all tournament
Very impressed with the Slovakian team. They played like lions
Im Canadien, but i was finding myself rooting for Slovak to keep it close. Was best game ive seen in a long time. Happy to see Mesar playing so well. Slovaks played unbelievable. So much passion. Not sure Canada would have won without Bedard. What a beast.
You know, me beeing fan of Slovak hockey I always find similarities between or nations (also, could be applied to Finns). Country to well known neighbour (USA/Czechia/Sweden) which is more advanced , more rich and powerful. We only posses more harsh climate :) So naturaly- we will compensate in hockey.
I will enjoy following Bedards career and remembering this tournament. Congrats Canada from Sweden 🇨🇦

Idk if anyone’s gonna see this cuz it’s 5 months after, but holy crap what a game. This was essentially Slovakia’s u19 team as well, only 4 players can’t return to next year’s team. If they had Slafkovsky I doubt they would have lost this game. That being said what a winner from the future Blackhawks legend
I keep coming back to this once in a while. It was one of the most entertaining matches I have ever seen.
the glove save by hinds was epic. Living every kids fantasy playing mini sticks on the cafeteria floor Haha
Yeah that is some straight up mini stick shit right there.
That Bedard guy is a prodigy. Interesting to see if he is able to keep it up in the NHL and raise to challenge McDavid. Maybe a modern-day Gretzky - Lemieux rivalry? Could be hopium though. Anyway, gg both teams. And big congrats to team Canada! Greetings from Finland.

The heartbreaker celebration topped it off after the kissing to the crowd. Such a sweet ending.
As a Canadian, I'm happy our guys won, but DAMN Slovakia brought their game! I have to raise a beer to those young guys for how skilled and tough they are!
That Slovak goalie is a legend! That game could have gone either way with the open ice of 3 on 3 play. Just a few years ago Canada/Slovakia was a no contest match up. What a game! You know it's a great game when deep down you want your team to win, but feel if it goes the other way you'd have a smile on your face for the opponent in a well deserved win.
Now that overtime winner was a Bedard pulling a McDavid deking through everybody that was so sweet
That was a great game. Seriously, hats off to Slovakia, what a fantastic team, and their goalie is unreal. Glad to see Canada win.
Little Slovakia vs big hockey monster Canada. 11,000 vs. 550,000 registered players and only 1 goal difference?
Lucky Canada.
VERY GOOD JOB SLOVAKIA !!!! We are proud of the Slovak boys' performance!
this was actually a crazy game, both teams playing exceptionally, all the crazy moments from both teams. Slovakia played absolutely amazing, especially their goalie, huge respect to all those players and i hope they have great hockey careers. Bedard, man, that was just they most unreal thing i've ever seen.
Dobre bratia sice tam nejste ale super zápas!
bruh what a goal from bedard to finish an amazing game!
Hats off Canadians, you were much better, deserved win truly. But our boys fought really well and till the end, even in 3rd period we had some really good chances for 4th goal. But this win was truly deserved for Canada, good luck !
Much respect to Slovakia.
This is what it looks like when you leave everything on the ice. Kudos to both teams! Bedard's goal nuts.
Slovakia is one of my favourite hockey teams now. sort of reminds me of Croatian soccer team! that was a barn-burner of a game. one of the better games i've seen.
Словаки красавцы !!!! Respect!!!! pekní Slováci!!!!!!
You guys are all ugly and dirty though? Good luck next year haha
Talk about a goal that gives you the chills. Ain't forgetting that anytime soon!
Jesus! What a terrific game! What a terrific tournament! Both teams were playing incredibly well. But the Canadians were unstoppable. Connor Bedard is becoming a legend. And thank you very much Slovakia for your outstanding effort and performance!!! You are one of the best teams in the world. Thank you both teams for this amazing Hockey Feast! It was a real joy to see you on the ice!
both teams? Slovak team is shit and weak you are happy that you win against weakest team in history of hockey? nice. even mongolia have better team
@@881terror That's a World Championship. Only the best hockey teams are on the list. And the best win. And yet it is Junior Hockey. And any team can win over any other. Previously, Canada was the best and it was easy to predict that Canada would take the gold. But this year the competition is very impressive and nobody can say who will take the Gold of the 2023 WJHC.
Unstoppable? Bud, this shit went to OT and Slovakia narrowly missed the winner. lol
The fact that this result was as close as it was = cause for some serious reflection and gratitude.
Slovakia played wayyyyyyyyyyy further above their own average than Canada did.
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid I mean Canada still won and I am rooting for my country to win the final. Slovakia would have easily made semis if they got a luckier bracket placement.

This game was by far the best game in the tournament. When I was watching it I was feeling sick I was so worried for Canada. But then BEDARD comes in STRONG. He couldn't score with a shot so he took on all 3 players and puts it in. This game and the gold medal game were amazing. But by far this game was insane.
What a beast of a game. Nail bitter to the best goal of the competition.
Slovakia really played INCREDIBLE, But Bedard is just UNREAL. Wow amazing game
Halifax is an electric crowd one of the best Canadian crowds
Yes much better than Alberta
Yes, I saw that in the game against the Czechia 😄
@@skinnflint Alberta has two nhl teams their not as loud cause their use to big games
What a game and what a finish by Bedard! Respect for Slovakia giving a good effort. As a Panthers fan it's so painful to see them going to miss the playoffs and not only that but missing a chance to get this kid in the draft 😪.
Montreal thanks you for your sacrifice. I still can't believe a Chiarot rental was worth a non-lottery protected 1st round pick in the 2023 draft...like, we knew 3 years ago that this draft would be the best one in more than a decade. Sheesh, someone dropped the ball in Sunrise.
Bedard is a cheat code. Kudos to Gajan, what a performance as well.
As a Canadian I was routing for the Slovak. A small country with a smaller draft and they went all the way to ot. Their goal keeper was game mvp in my mind.
Good grief, that was incredibly close. Well played, Team Slovakia. Go Canada! :)
