3 straight shutouts is insane. Sweden looks awesome in this tournament
They always do in the RR and then choke in the playoff round for some reason.
@@jeffreym.8957Sadly that's true. I was almost hoping for a loss for that reason.
What I was thinking as well, Sweden has a legacy of exceptional round robin play then lay an egg in the playoff.@@jeffreym.8957
Holy. Swedes are looking strong this year. Looking forward to seeing your boys more. Cheers from Slovakia.
That would be nice. European final. Doesn't have to be USA, Canada every year@@TheUffeess
they have looking strong in the preliminary round for ages. For always to fold later....
when i read all these comments, its just nice that everyone respects eachother and theres not a massive fight
If you understand the game, there can be no arguments in this game....props to all involved.
Nah canadians are the cockiest ever when it comes to hockey they're just humble now cuz they lost
In these times, our countries in the free world must stand united and respect each other more than ever!
heja Sverige! greetings from Finland, we have had lots of u20 success in last 10 years, hope you win it this time!
Tre Kronor, in Sweden, with Henrik ‘The King’ in the stance - bloody brilliant!
Honestly Sweden just played a great well rounded game, they let Canada try their stretch passes and created turnovers. Too many passes from Canada and not enough shots with screens jamming in rebounds. Both of Swedens goals were screens and deflections leading to goals. Sweden played too tight defensively for Canada to score off the rush
they need to bench Minten. That guy is useless. Have yet to see him to anything positive.
Agreed, Canada was almost making one play too many. Shoot the puck and create traffic, look for rebounds.
What an amazing games today!! Czechia vs USA and CAN vs Sweden were super exciting to watch
Totally agree! Regardless of the country you support, these two games was amazing!
Latvia - Finland was also super exciting - from the Finnish point of view! We were nervous and about to die of excitement witnessing whether we will be thrown out of this tournament or not 😆
@@TheOxuxyeah i've never seen as exciting of a game against Latvia
Great game! Both goalies were dominant all throughout the game. Good win sweden
nice to see more highlights, not just the goals!
This, so much this! I wish they did this for all games, it gives a much better picture of the intensity and overall action in the game. Finland-Latvia recap, they even omitted the Finland goal that was overturned, nothing but brief recaps of the four allowed goals, so boring.
Really good game, great skill, good defence and goaltending. And a good crowd. Hockey as exciting as it gets
Canadas D left their goalie out to dry, can’t stop everything and if you don’t score it’s not a recipe for success. Very strong Swedish team
@@gustattoh for sure the saves he was making were absolutely incredible but you can’t make every save and when your d leave you pucks are going to go in
No excuse. The Swedes gave away two completely free 1v1s but Canada failed to convert.
Great hockey played by both Sweden and Canada. Swedish goaltending is solid! Canada's goalie was amazing, clearly impressing Henrik Lundqvist with that big toe save. Looking forward to see how Finland will face against Sweden on New Years Eve. Good luck! 🇸🇪 🇨🇦
As a Canucks fan I was cheering for team Sweden. All Canucks prospects are playing so good.
i mean if they are canadian then yes for sure but am a LA fan and that doesnt mean im going to support USA@@Make_Canada_Trudeau-Less-Again
You take that back right now, those are fighting words, if that’s you in ur thumb nail, don’t you think for one second cute girls get a pass , no , world juniors and then cute chicks. So wanna hang out and watch together, lol, little jokes there,Sweden looks big and they got hands, never fear they will go undefeated in round robin and then lose in the first cross over or 1-4 whatever they’re doing
Spectacular goaltending for Sweden and a good collection of details that Canada just missed on.
great game to Sweden! Always cheering for u guys if Canada ever get eliminated! Just like when u guys cheered for us in 2012! Always respect u guys
I'll definitely cheer for Canada if we (Sweden) are eliminated.
Great to see so many Canadian fans in the stands btw 👍🍁
@FooCards88 My mom is from Sweden and my dad is from the US so I'm ok with that as well 😀
You realize they only cheered for us because we were playing against Russia who eliminated them, right?
Nice job vikings from czechia 🇨🇿🤝🇸🇪
Yea was really good and so was czechia today I was hoping you would win and it was so close.
I love watching you guys play, im always rooting for you when sweden is out. 🇸🇪❤️🇨🇿
Nice defence! Also nice 2 not only see defence for a change, great game sweden! Canadas keeper was a beast! Heja Sverige!!🇸🇪👑👑👑
Nice to see Canucks prospects Willander, Lekkerimaki & Pettersson playing well! I actually found myself rooting for Sweden even tho I'm Canadian.
As a Canadian gg Sweden you guys played really well good luck the rest of the tournament
As a Canucks fan, I am thrilled to see Pettersson (#2) and Willander killing it so far this tournament. Petey wearing Mattias Ohlund's old number, which is quite ominous when you think about it. I certainly won't be disappointed if they win the gold instead of Canada this year!
Can't forget about Jonathan! I just saw a tweet earlier today showing how Petey and Tom led the team in ice time without even playing on the PP 🙃
Sweden deserved the win. Congratulations to them.
They don’t deserve the win when the refs BLATANTLY cheat in their favour.
@JesusFriedChrist huh. OH Canada? 5 shots in the 3rd period and too many men With 2 minutes left...not good enough today.
@@JesusFriedChristthe only thing that was questionable was the last goal being offside, took the refs to short of time to verify it stayed in
The Swedish game plan was solid. Tight defence, great physical play, and quick turnovers. Goalies Rosseau and Hävelid were both spectacular. Impressive three straight shutouts and 13 goals scored by Sweden. But still a long way to go...
Well played for Sweden even if I'm for Canada. Its nice to see another country that can compete with Canada in Hockey
I cant recall a single match in which Canada wouldnt score. Thats impressive
it was against the states in the gold medal game i think three years ago against spencer knight was 2-0 as well
@@DarkN1nja77Spencer Knight was the goalie for America that year. Campbell was like 2012
@@adrianpickel1482 my bad yeah for some reason jack Campbell was in my head ill change it so you get the credit also didnt he get three straight shotouts in the elimination games
Well played Canada, not just strong enough this time, wish it be you in the finals, sincerely Sweden🇸🇪🤝🇨🇦
Were missing Bedard, Fantilli, Benson, Korchinski who are all in the nhl. This forward group is lacking offensive superstars. :(
Swedens goalie also played out of this world. He deserved the 1st star no doubt.
As a Canadian Swedish team looks good
Swedes know the big rink.
1. Their cycle game was difficult for Canada to disrupt. Very few chances for Canada.
2. Canada was unable to establish any sort of momentum with their own cycle game.
Lots of Canadian players were giveaway machines. Sweden is clearly a step above the rest of the competition.
the big ice makes a big difference. Turns into a possession game, which Sweden is clearly better at.
@@justinberber9848Sweden is always the better possession team in the these tournaments.
Likely due to normally playing on the larger ice.
That type of play however is more easily disrupted on NA rink
Swedish goalie OUTSTANDING
Ohgren is the perfect captain, did not know who he was before today. But the work he did with the puck and without is jusg insane.
I was very impress with Sweden, they played a very strong game, from Canada.
I think canada lost because they thought they could play sweden just like they played finland with long passes and fast breakouts but sweden was ready and played very great defense and were able to put canada on defense something canada is not used to doing congrats sweden from canada hope to see you again
Finland were far from ready but I think it was good for Finland to start off with such a fast and efficient team still hoping for Finland to atleast try to win this tournament
At the highest level of any sports, the team who make least mistakes win. today, it was Sweden. More game to watch and more excitement will come to this World junior hockey.
See you in the finals. Always a special game when we have Sweden vs Canada on the ice👍. Both magic on the ice and outside the ice with an amazing crowd with a lot of Canadian fans too. Some of this players will one day get the Stanley Cup✌️
I hope nr8 Beck is 100% ok, take care.
Rousseau is a franchise goalie for some NHL team. Swedes got some studs as well. Lekkerimäki, Östlund and GK Hävelid all on fire tonight.
Thought we would be run over by Canada. We haven't been good in recent years. But this team can probably go far. Always good games against Canada. Good game :)
Bra jobbat gubbar. Ta det fina spelet till finalen så kanske det blir något 🇸🇪 👑👑👑
Good job Sweden
Well done Sweden great win
Sweden, love that place! Just returned from Christmas in Gotland
As a Canucks fan, I am conflicted. I want Canada to win cuz Canadian. But I want Sweden to win and do well, cuz of Lekkermai and DPetey
Good job both teams ,
Watched this at work on cell phone with my fellow employees 😄🇨🇦
Canada was scrambling, not playing really. They ate some humble pie there. Goalies were talented.
Фантастическая игра Швеции, молодцы👏👍
Great game. Sweden played very tough and made some great hits with a strong defense. Canada had some good chances but must now prepare to meet Sweden again for the DRAMATIC REMATCH. Rosseau was spectacular. Canada must come out and match Sweden's very tough box style play. Canada could play them tighter on the points and be more aggressive.
Canada beeing agressive lead to huge Open spaces on the Ice for sweden, Canada needs defenders who works good under preassure
Lekkerimaki to Willander. As a Canucks fan I like seeing that!
Amazing game from both sides
owen beck had a swedish defender on him, he turns and stops.. its like hitting the breaks on a highway. good non call.
Good game sweden
Lindstein not being on the orginal roster was something.. his first steps and they way he separates from other players is NHL level already.
Also leading defender in pts for sweden. How this guy was not in from the start is crazy
Great to see defence being recognized as a huge part of the game. All 6 on the ice doing their part defensively. We can take a lesson from them.
Love being a Swede living in Canada during times like these
We always drop a game in pool play I’m not worried about it but Sweden looks good. They always do so props for that. Sure we’ll probably meet them again
As a Canucks fan I’m happy
Sweden pulling off a vintage Canadian performance.
The Swedish played for their country. The Canadian boys played for the name on the back of their jersey.
3:06 When I saw it on TV I thought it was off side, slowed down here, the Swedish def's heel of his stick is out, but the puck is mostly on the line from what I can see. A linesmen was to his left on the boards and looking down at it...close!
@@woodstocknun all that would do is rob them of their ability to have a time out since it wasn't offside.
One bad game against an excellent opponent isn't going to make me give up hope. Congratulations to Sweden, but we will meet again:)
yeah it could be like the situation we had against russia where we lost 6-0 in groups and won 4-3 in finals.
@@champsgaming1362 Exactly. Or like against Czechia last year. Lost our first game against them, beat them in the final.
You played a good game but it wasn't perfect which is a good thing in hindsight because there is room for improvement, and we all know that Canada in the playoffs is a completely different beast, but your boys still had several good opportunities to score and this shutout as impressive as it was required some truly unlucky shots, and another thing we all know is that Canada is not unlucky for long, I am looking forward to the finals, where I am certain we will see each other again.
Sweden looks like a team on a mission
The Juniors have become some of the most exciting games in hockey. The level of play is outstanding. This year, Canada is not as strong as prior, which creates uncertainty, which makes for great tourney. I cannot recall a Sweden team stronger than this one. At this level, games are won by mistakes. Both teams made mistakes, but Canada could not score. Could be lack of talent, or simply nerves. Overall, Canada should have had a different game strategy. Trying to rush and out-skate the Swedes will not succeed. No screen shots on goal will not win games; the goalies are simply too good to be beaten directly. Sweden outplayed Canada and won deservedly.
The Juniors have been the most exciting hockey for the past 20-30 years at least. FAR better than the NHL. Though they lack the intensity of the Junior tournaments from 20-30 years ago where physicality made it much more exciting (same applies to most levels of hockey now where it's mostly just finesse which makes it one dimensional and kind of boring).
@@77dris True. The lack of "physical" in the game today is clearly noticeable. The rules ensure this. But also, the players and NHL teams may not wish to risk injuries. Another lack is the ban on the Russian team. If teams are banned, how can the champ claim to be best in world? Politics should not apply to sports, music, arts, academics.
Andrew Cristall had a hat trick last night. And after watching Bradley Nadeau in penticton i cant help but think his speed and wicked shot would be helpful.
Well done, boys! We all know playoffs is a totally different story where anything can happen. Happy with the win but gotta stay humble ❤️ thanks everyone in the comments for the kind words 🙏🏻❤️
Never underestimate home ice advantage.
"what a save by the Canadian netminder" don't hear that often
2:23 this shift is awesome, Ostlunds keep in!
The tournament so far the goaltending I've seen has been pretty average but the two in this game were very good.
Canada had their chances...got to convert on at least 1 of those breakaways
My people are playing real good hockey right now. Hal Svensk
Canada usually needs a loss in the prelims for them to wake up and start taking the tourney seriously.
As a Canadian, i always love seeing the swedes play well. Good game sweden 🇨🇦🇸🇪!!!!!
I just hope Finland gets one goal against Sweden in sunday 😅🇫🇮🇸🇪
Jep, that goalie alone would be a challenge, seems to have nerves of steel.
It gonna not happend, four matchens without one goal in the back Would be something amazing
I hope Finland wins the game otherwise I’ll be sleeping on the couch 😂
They have 3 right now 😃 But yeah...Sweden has 4 😅 12 min left off the game though 😁
The Canadian goaltender was the best player in this game imo.
Why are the other teams highlights so much shorter
the way the commentator pronounces ”lekkerimäki” makes me giggle 😂😂😂
I really want Canada vs Sweden in the finals for atmosphere purposes, but I really don’t think this Canada team can beat this Sweden team. They seam better in every department except goaltending
If they face each other later in this contest, I bet Canada will take that one home.
@@justinberber9848I Hope they do but they need to tighten up the game more can’t rely on your tender to make every stop I mean he played fantastic but if the team infront can’t even on the board u can’t win
Sweds go to the gold medal on this year!
This game was fun to watch. I hope here in Finland somebody is taking notes, how this game is played. GG.
Man from these highlights Canada looked damn sloppy today holy shit
:( tough game for Canada, lets just hope Canada doesn't lose in the elimination rounds!
Whens the next sweden game? They have 3 canucks prospects and im tryna watch them live they look awesome on the highlights
Sunday against Finland. Finland needs to heavily improve their game if they are going to win. I hope they do. Otherwise I don't have much hope them making to top 4
On Sunday 2pm local time. It's gonna be an interesting match since we're playing against our lovely arch-rival Finland
Great job Sweden! From U.S.A.
Good game. Swedes are a little bit better it would appear
if you got the puck and is covered defensively, dont turn 1 meter from the boards like you have no responsibility for your own safety.
sweden played 60 minute chess with canada, deserved the win.
that’s bs!
honest win, Yes!
the responsibility of the referee, was not only proved wrong again! but the other official agreed. complete bs!
@@rickmayer9614you mean two educated pro-refs knows less than you...?
@@rickmayer9614 canadian player disqualfied himself by laying on the ice, leaving the ice, then returning as soon the call was made official.
yea. that’s standard procedure. concern for possible concussions.
like i explained boys. nice win 🇸🇪
@@tallesttreeintheforesthe was an actor / liar / cheater. Not nice to see.
Don't think I've ever seen anything like Savoie's attempted breakaway move. Unfortunate he couldn't get a handle on that and put it in the back of the net!
Super zápas klobúk dole pred domácimi Švédmi ako hrali proti Kanade.
Reversing the call on that 5min was 100% the right call to make, perfectly clean hit. Canada came out flat today and paid the price. Good hard play by the Swedes and a win well deserved. Should be a good rematch later on.
I met Colwin att the game❤❤
Ineffective offense and weak defence make for a disastrous outcome. It’s difficult to believe Canada could play any worse. Let’s hope they play as needed in the games that count when it’s win or go home. Forget this one.
just hope Canada can win like they did last year.
Vancouver Canucks have 3 top players on the best team at the world jr's (Sweden) and just beat Canada 2-0 with the first goal from Canucks #1 draft pick RHD Tom Willander and on the 2nd goal got an assist from their other #1 top pick offensive sniper Johnathan Lekkeramakki. Canucks are gonna be even better 2-3 years from now. Plan the parade Canucks nation. Vancouver sports radio 650am going nuts! It’s so on for Canucks nation. Lets go!
The Blues have 7 playing in this tourney. Snuggerud, Dvorsky, Stenberg, Lindstein are all dominating. Pakarcik looks good too. Bright future for the Blues to add to Thomas, Kyrou and Neighbors. All young studs
this is just group stage....
TEAM CANADA !!!!
Full rink hockey is so much better. IMO.
Btw, when did people start to stop 10 inches from the board when they're racing towards a puck with someone behind them? Seeing it all the time in the NHL also. That's hockey 101 of habits to train away.
looks like Sweden's got this tournament in the bag
3 games without a goal against is very impressive. Well done Sweden. Hopefully we get another crack at you in the finals.
hopefully we get Sweden - Canada in the finals! best of luck
Blatant cheating from the refs to favour the home crowd.
Без России это не полноценный мировой турнир Молодежный Чемпионат Мира по хоккею. Украшением любого международного турнира по хоккею это Финал Россия - Канада ! ❤
So you couldnt score once againts Sweden and you are so sure that you are making it to the finals?
@kikocacala7466 what makes you think they're sure? Does the word "hopefully" mean something different now 🤔
