You're not far off. If you consider the last 7 international tournaments (last year's Hlinka Gretzky Cup, this year's five major IIHF tournaments, and now this year's HGC), either 🇨🇦 or 🇨🇿 has been responsible for the other's elimination in 5 of them. 2023 HGC: CAN beat CZE for gold 2024 WJC: CZE eliminated CAN in QF 2024 WU18: CZE eliminated CAN in SF 2024 WWC: CAN eliminated CZE in SF 2024 MU18: CZE eliminated by SVK; CAN won gold 2024 MWC: CAN eliminated by SUI, CZE won gold 2024 HGC: This video
@@ngarcia103true, but your original comment mentioned the last 5 IIHF tournaments. I guess you are too young to remember when the World Hockey Championship used to be called the Canada Cup. The first World Hockey Championship Final was Canada versus USA
Awesome game. These young Men are wicked good. Way to go Canada and Hats Off to Czechia.. Beast of a team. These guys are so evenly matched it;s unreal
Jack Ivankovic was the best goalie this game and tournament for sure but Stebetak kept Czechs in the game. Stopped 2 breakaways could of been 4-0 before they knew it. Good win by Canada though, cant wait to see McKenna next year too.
Considering that the Edmonton Oilers almost won the Stanley Cup, don't understand why there's not a lot of ppl watching the game with a lot of empty seats. Kinda disappointed that this wasn't promoted a lot more around Edmonton, forgot that this was still going on. I'm sure there's a lot more hockey fans that might be interested in watching this live especially with the Olympics going on.
Or even in Alberta. We could have taken our European friends who were visiting up to Edmonton for this game. They'd have liked that and there's more to see in Edmonton than Calgary!
Once the teams settled in the top Czech line wasn't much of a factor. Canada could have scored more but they did their Canadian thing, 12 shots after 2 periods, defense first.
I´ve watched whole game from 2 am to 4 am. Long story short Canadian Ds and goalie were absolutely ridiculously overpowered we basicaly didn´t do shit and had bad luck with shooting(4 goalposts). Never seen any Canadian team play this strong and flawlessly defensively, never. Not a fcking chance, we were lucky we lost by one, could be easy shutout. Also Dravecký must get his shit together and improve his non existent defense.
I didn't know this tournament was happening. It seems to have had a lot of trouble with 7 name changes over the years and is roughly a duplication of the very popular U-20 World Juniors but with younger players. Adding Gretzky to the title seems a desperate attempt to infuse some interest with the fans, but if you can't sell hockey in Canada you have a problem.
They should never have changed the format to play in Canada. Previously it was in the Czech republic every year, and sold out every year. No idea why they ended up involving Canada as well. They should drop Canada.
No, it happens often in Canada during this cup. It should never have been transferred to Canada. it used to be the Hlinka Cup placed in Breclav, Czech Republic. Always full stadiums there. Then they changed it to the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, and it is played each year in either the Czech Republic or Canada. last year it was the same gold medal game, but in the Czech Republic, and it was sold out. This year in Canada it was pretty empty. they should just revert to the old format. Drop the "Gretzky" and play it in the Czech Republic every year.
Please don't put the score in the thumbnail. Please. Worst thing you can ever do to a highlight video... some people want to watch the highlights without knowing the game's outcome...
@@samspade4050 I live in Japan so it’s on in the middle of the night. Plus there’s only so much time in a day. Just wanted to watch highlights without knowing the score ahead of time. Not too much to ask is it?
Sorry but kinda embarrassing seeing the empty seats in the crowd.... such a waste of a game 😭 in my city this would be sold out with huge tickets prices.... kinda dumb
Considering our Canadian teams are usually early ousters or not even contenders.... That puts them in a high draft slot... so.. the possibility is good😁
4:00 wait why are you laughing and having fun? ur losing by 2 in the gold medal! and they celebrate like they just win in ot when they score with 8 sec in the game... strange behavior imo
I když mě nasrala první třetina, tak ten gol před koncem jsem oslavoval skoro stejně. Na tom nic není. Hrát se má až do konca. Ač uznávám, že se hrálo v těžkým tempu, kolikrát ty nahrávky od našich šly kamkoliv jenom ne naše hokejky. Takže jediné plus jsou ty dvě tyčky v první třetině, jinak jsme Kanadu moc nepřekvapovali.
you are talking complete rubbish , they were on a good run and the whole tournament was pretty good , they just lived through that game they are young guys , we know you canadians in europe , whether it is your hockey players who are now accused and fleeing to the khl in a big way or your familiar canadian three on one solution , just the most cocky nation that can't lose , but most importantly laugh , I would add the swedes to your list ...
@@D4v3Serious I agree, it's all tainted and bias. The US kills how many in a fake war in Iraq? Did they miss out on any sporting events? No, because these lunatic leaders and their wars are not the same as kids just wanting to play sports. I agree, it's all fake outrage of convenience.
Awesome game. Lots of heart. Well done Canada, and great game Czechia.
Seems like the Czechs are Our rivals over the last few years Now, Temporarily filling in for absent Russia!
Interestingly / historically, the Czechs have had their own rivalry with the Russians, so it seems fitting!

@@Leerealdeal72 Canada has more of a rivalry with the U.S. at the Women's World Championship, not so much this tournament.

He was a great catcher, you have a great talent in him, Sebetak was also good, but your goalie looked much more mature

Czechia played a heck of a game, And rang a couple off the post's. Very close exciting game ❤🤍❤
How about not putting the score in the thumbnail thanks
Agreed
Czechia is showing how gifted their players are. Gold in IIHF Mens and now the silver medal in hlinka.
Also bronze from from 2024 iihf juniors and silver from Hlinka 2023 and silver from iihf juniors 2023.. Czechia is on top again
Could've done without spoilers in the thumbnail.
Lot's of great prospects here.
Well done CANADA; well done, go CANADA.
where is the crowd?
feels like Canada And Czechia are becoming rivals on every level now
Výborně Kanada
canada future for hockey is bright!
Awesome

Nice job to the Q guys especially Kilfoil. Go mooseheads and go team Canada
Go moose, go huskies ☝️
What's the point of showing the score? Defeats the point of watching highlights.

3 pet !!! lets go Canada
wny would you show the final score in the title ??
Closer than it should have been, canada not on their A game.
Unlucky for Czechs...too many posts
Hope war stops, for peace and another team to challenge
Canada 🇨🇦 wins gold! #playlabambababy
How boring was the 2nd? Only 8 shots total until 3:20 left, and no highlights
🇨🇦 🥇 🏒…future looks good!

In Czechia there was full stadium on last Hlinka Gretzky final

Shocks me how little fans were in the building, was the game at a weird time locally?

@@Oils36 No I think they thought they had more time left and also forgot they had a 6 on 4 advantage lol.

Thanks for spoiling the score. Just clicked on the video to comment and unlike. 👎🏼
Too bad Russia isn't there they would have had a dynamite team.
Easy solution to that. They could just stop invading neighbouring countries and illegally annexing their territories. then they can participate again.
Russia have their own tournament with Iran and DPRK
