- Canada was just absolutely embarrassed in their first game of the World Junior Hockey Championship, as they got DUMPED on by the Czech Republic 5-2. We'll cover that and more in today's World Juniors Hockey video!
- Zábava
Forgot to mention: one goal called back for each team, both seemed correct to me.
I was at that game. Canada deserved that loss. Hockey gods made them pay for the show boating.

Getting this video recommended after we lost the finale against them feels like an insult.
presne tak xd
I've watched the World Juniors for 20 years and I've never seen a team play with more cockiness and lack of fundamentals than Canada played tonight. The first two periods especially were just a string of missed assignments, bad penalties, cute nonsense, and even a little bit of bad goaltending, although the result was not primarily Gaudreau's fault.
But contrast, the Czechs were fundamentally sound. They got in shooting lanes, they got pucks on net, they gave up a few nice chances, but their goalie was very strong tonight and didn't allow the Canadians easy looks on net.
The talent on the Canadian team is incredible, but I think they believed this tournament is going to be easy. They really found out it's not.
Not to mention undisciplined.
Well maybe they should just loose all there games now
They all want to make a highlight reel
@@patientmental875 they'll make the losers highlight reel
Very well said.
Glad to see my Czech homeboys doing well. I was a bit sceptical about the future of our hockey, but games like this one give me hope. Let's go Czechia❤
Your boys played real well and fought for the win - Mr. Hasek (best goaltender EVER) would be proud. Our guys played like we were "owed" this game. Continued success - maybe we'll earn the right to play you again.
@@robjohnson5872 Iam pretty sure Canada team will wake up after this and will most likely win the whole tournament. Same as kuboi Iam scared for the future of our hockey, but its great to see that the work ethic is there and our boys can still upset one of the best
Show some respect and call them Czech Republic
What do you mean? The Czechs still produce good players and play a real good team game. Congrats to them.
@@wallace44able Yes, but few decades back we had around 70 players in NHL and now we have barely 30. But I think at least 5 guys from this U20 team will make it into NHL :D
I think that pulling two Michigans in 1st sums up arrogance, underestimation and direspect to your oponent. I am not Czech but it reminded me when Canada was winning over Slovakia two years back I think at WJC just 2:1, but Canadian stars were pulling tricks like it is exibition game and they dont even care. This loss is wake up call to that mentality of "we are unbeatable". You can be unbeatable if you are a team no individualistic mess with "big names"
I don't agree that attempting a michigan implies arrogance and disrespect. If that goalie was a little off the post there it would have been a goal. Trying a michigan is as standard as taking a shot on goal AS LONG AS you get to the point of putting the puck on net
@@GettingHyphy Attempting it, no. Attempting it twice in a very short span, however...
In my view the "Michigan" should be banned as it isn't a legitimate hockey goal. Never before the recent past was a goal like that attempted, let alone made. While I admire the skill it takes to do it, scooping a puck up with your stick and basically carrying it to a spot on the net advantageous to you isn't a real goal. I know younger players and youth players love it, but it is a goal disrespectful to the way it's been done for over a hundred years. Ban It. Please. What does the NHL do or say when a long held scoring record is challenged by a player that scored maybe 25% of his or her goals using the Michigan? And the current record holder didn't use that method? That would diminish the integrity of the record in question in my view. BAN IT.
@@hockeyman1054 You want to ban rap around a while your at it?
@@GettingHyphy Canada has tried it almost 10 times in pre-tournament and tournament play. Almost all attempts result in the puck going to Canada’s end and the opposition getting a chance on goal. The czeck goalie and players were ready and stopped it. Canada would have been way better off cycling the puck around or jamming the puck down low. It’s a very low percentage shot with most goalies wise to the attempt.
The best Canadian World Junior team was in 2005 and included Patrice Bergeron and Sydney Crosby.
Price
@@user-xg6sx5ev9u That team was so loaded with talent on defece and forward they won without Price.

5 minute major was absolutely the right call per the IIHF rule book. IIHF rules don’t say anything about the head needing to be the primary or secondary point of contact, just that the offending player has to extend any part of their upper body to make contact with the head or neck of their opponent, which Dean did.
Exactly. Hoglander did the same hit in the Juniors world and got the same penalty. Hoglander is small but pushed up towards the head and the Russian embellished a lot, as many eastern European players tend to do. Checks are notorious for diving and embellishment.
@@xcvbxcvb2179 what the fuck? We aren’t known for diving… as a matter of fact Canadians are! Our players do not dive as often. Not to mention that Canada is the team which gets help from refs the most.. for example 2015 World championship. Clear Puck covered in hand pass leads to a goal. It’s allowed. We score a goal which should be allowed cause there was no violation and it was disallowed. Those two changed the game cause the game ended 2:0 for Canada…
I really don't understand the shocked reaction people are having at a zero tolerance on avoidable head contact here. You'd think in the Year of Our Lord damn near 2023 people would get that head trauma=bad, especially for fucking kids.
@@huntersmith3888 exactly. I feel like Americans and Canadians are so self centered that they think what’s allowed in Canada and America (nhl) is allowed everywhere. I bet you if it was Bedard who got hit and got injured (luckily our player didn’t) they would be crying their eyes out that the player should be suspended. And never allowed to play any pro hockey
Yep, totally agree. I'm sorry dude but you can't claim a hit like this to be clean when even the referees had a pretty easy call. It could be classified as both charging and an illegal check to the head.
The Edmonton comparison is on point. My buddy and I were texting back and forth and he was like "Pass, pass, pass, pass, turnover. This seems awfully similar to a local team huh?" I was like "Yup, go for all offense and 'What's a defence?' mentality. Try and outscore your mistakes and rely on a dude named Connor to drag you as much as he can."
czech goalie just shut down any attempt there was (obviously canada had issues in the players) but i had to give some props to the czech goalie for just being solid
Lol agreed. The goalie even got the best player award at the end of the game
TSN declared this Canada’s most talented team since 2005 just as they did the 2021 team that took silver lol
Tbh that 2021 team was the best of all time (until they lost dach at least). It just so happened that due to circumstances (delayed nhl season), it was also every country’s best team of all time, so there wasn’t much difference in the result
Why is it called TSN? It's impossible to find any relevant sports on the damn thing and I've seen Tin Cup enough🙄
Canada might have best team on paper but Czech just wiped their asses
with that paper.
Crude...but funny and true.
It is funny you should mention Edmonton. I got the exact same vibes from this game that I often get from oilers games played against teams below them in the standings. Players not finishing great set ups, stupid penalties, getting outworked and losing the goalie battle.
Overall though this should wake them up so not too worried. This team is stacked.
@Buried Unkind Maybe in years previous. I was shocked when they curbstomped Anaheim 7-0 a couple weeks ago. Usually they take a "night off" and embarrass themselves.
@@Outta-hz1ej They’ve taken plenty of nights off this year. Remember when they went on a 4 game losing streak against some of the worst teams in the league and fans were calling for player’s heads. But Marner went on a cute little point streak so all is good in the end.
Over confident underestimating your opponent all round cockiness cost them the game.
Yep. The Oilers obvious cockiness is annoying. If they win a few in a row it goes to their heads and they forget to play hard.
@@politicalbandwagon4989 After October ended they never really looked back. But you never know.
Maybe they needed a lil humbling and will come back stronger because of this.
Sometimes an early loss for Team Canada, juniors or not, is what's needed to wake the team up. If they play poorly again next game, I wouldn't count on them bouncing back.
@@neil9333 nope not how it works they're about to loose all their games from here on out

@@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigi fr makes me think of how Canada thought they could acc beat Croatia at the World Cup when Croatia had been runners up in the 2018 one 😂
The amount of attempted Michigan/lacrosse-style goals had me worried these kids were cocky from all the press and didn't think they'd see resistance from this Czechia team. Seeing our team, the supposed all-time best Juniors team, play like a bunch of selfish kids trying to show they're the best scorer on the ice, was just embarrassing. Also, i am always hesitant to place blame on a goalie, but the backup completely showed up the starter. It happens, but it really shouldn't. This game should be a lesson moving forward
Canada in general is becoming all hype.

I disagree on your take of the the hit, the Czech player’s head was hit by the shoulder. Additionally, the Canadian player left his feet while making contact. While it’s not a Raffi Torres hit, I believe that it was still worthy of enforcement.
natural to leave your feet while making contact sometimes as you extend your knees and momentum carries you upwards, it's not a jump into the hit though.
Problem isnt in hes feets but on that stick in the face. Maybe in NHL or other US league it could be clean but this is IIHF. There are different rules for hits.
From what i understand, whether on purpose or accidental, any head contact is subject to a penalty and it is completely up to the ref whether or not it was done recklessly and was avoidable. Discipline, discipline discipline!!!
I think this is a perfect example of just because you have the best players doesn't mean they work well together.
I can see Canada's next opponent releasing a bunch of butterflies to distract their defensemen.
Throw something shiny into the air
Totally forgot the world juniors were going. Nice to see the little bit of coverage on this. Hope someone comes through on those tickets for you brother! Hope you had a merry christmas with the family and happy new years!
Good to see Czech Republic to have some talent pool, despite the constant local hammering how the junior leagues and raising new players went to shit in last 20 years.
they went to shit tho, absolutely butchered decade or 2
Same thing kind of happened in Slovakia. They had a lot of good players in the 90s and early 2000s, but only recently started to produce some big names again
Is soccer bigger than hockey in Czechia & Slovakia?
@@MihaiRUdeRO Nope
It's amazing to see players I used to play with early in my teenage years now outplaying Canada. And my close neighbor is now in Minnesota draft (Pavel Novák). I have big hopes for my generation. Unfortunately it's well known that one of the most talented players don't make it anywhere in hockey because it's a truly expensive sport
Czechia effortlessly smacking the attempted Michigan goal stick down was the game in a nutshell. Easily stopping stupid flashy shit.
The goalie blocked it with his face without even trying

After todays final game as a czech I must say GG. The final game was unfortunetly for us not like this one :D But I am little bit sad how Canada won. just like aganist Slovakia they won in overtime. Canada was so close to be a dissapointment (and it would make me happy little bit xd), in stadium in their own country, and I think, they had little bit of luck overall bcs of it.
But yeah as a Czech it's more emotional for me cuz even Czech hockey have great reputation, it's not consistent, and this was first time after Czechoslovakian split when boys under 20 got into finals.
Brutal seeing those defensive breakdowns. Great reminder of why we love this tourney so much though - anything can happen. Thankful it happened in the first game, I have faith this group will snap together after this shocking loss
this is an exibition tour,the topteams not here russia
Sometimes you need a bad game to improve x) greetings from the Czech Republic
60k! Congrats, well deserved 🥳
I bought tickets to watch Czechia play for $25 tonight' all the canada games were at least $500 for Nosebleeds, lol. Now I'm really looking forward to that Czechia game tonight.
This was my first time watching Bedard, the hype is real. Kid was absolutely nuts tonight.
Good call. Gotta take a positive out of everything.
Yeah, but did you see the brutal giveaway in the first period that nearly cost them a goal? It’s a 60 ft game. Skill might sell tickets, but defensive accountability wins championships.
@Andy Ciezki Geez Andy I always thought it was a 200 foot game. Forecheck, Backcheck Paycheck!
@@918-Verax these guys are playing as though it were a 60 ft game, but yes should be a 200 ft game. 🙂
@@RustyBrickStudios my current favourite example is Russell Wilson
I've been watching this tournament since the early to mid 80's and this happens all the time. Canada is always a favorite and there is almost always a hiccup along the way and it's up to the coach to gather his guys and remind them to play within the system the coaching staff has implemented. The Check's always have a good, disciplined team and they played the perfect road game and remember, they had nothing to lose because they are far from home and no one expected them to win. When a team is relaxed and feels no pressure, they are as dangerous as can be. Now we get to see what this team is really made of!
Excellent review. Thanks!
Greeting from Czech! I love how boys are playing i hope they will win championship!
Thanks for this review of the game, i need to say i respect the way you respond to the game, your not salty, mad or blaming the refs, you took the loss and i higly rate you for it. Love from Czechia keep up the great work you are doing ❤❤

No need to be reminded.
As a Blue Jackets fan, I was conflicted watching Jiricek and Svozil and co. style on my home country, but overjoyed that the CBJ has such studs coming up on the blue line
Perhaps a much needed wake up call. Now let’s see if Canada actually wakes up.
Gotta say I think the major was correct. Not sure why you say the head was not the primary or the secondary point of contact. He def made contact with the head and as someone mentioned below, according to IIHF it does not necessarily have to be the primary point of contact. The Canadian player doesn't win the play because he is the "stronger player", he wins it because all the force is directed towards the upper body/head of the Czech player. His hands and stick belongs nowhere near the head of the Czech player to begin with. That being said I think Canada might be lucky to actually get this game out of the way early and get a necessary wake-up call. Teams like Czechia and Slovakia are better this year than previous, but as long as the coaching staff is anywhere near decent for Canada, they won't have a game like this again. They're still the favourites in my book but I hope my Sweden can upset :)
Agree with you on the check. The Tough Call channel had good angles on the hit and you can see him launch upward into the head. His hands up kind of prevented it from being more violent, but it was still intentional. No reason to launch up, not sure why he would do that.
The match penalty killed them, they were feeling very cocky in the first period (hence the 2 Michigan attempts), and then just got outplayed, that 3rd was so depressing to watch 😟
Im from Czechia and Im really proud of them for being better and better hockey team in IIHF.
Great breakdown as always. Was also unhappy with Wright during the player of the game awards. Almost always the two players shake hands after and the Czech goalie, Suchanek, even turned to go for one but Wright turned away and left.
Tonight was an absolute joke, I've never seen a Canadian team so preoccupied with showing off instead of actually winning.
Canada was the average team in WoC drop-ins. Czechia was an actual communicating team with everyone playing their positions properly.

Canada's problem is ego. Every player on that team has been told they are the best and the team is the best. They don't think or feel they need to show up at game time. I expect an early exit for Canada.

Nice serving of humble pie 🥧. They will come back stronger.
I laugh every time I hear somebody claim this is the "best team yet". Being a Leaf fan I've heard it for decades.
Sometimes, when you gather the best and hype them up as the best, they let it go to their heads. Obviously from the way they played, Canada's players bought into the hype and thought they would coast through the tourney only to get smashed in the face right away. So we'll see how they respond to the ego check.
So, on a stage where the entire nation is watching them, you don't think they were trying to win? Gone to their heads? Are you insane? No one wants to win these games more than our players and our fans. Simply put, we took too many penalties, our goaltending was off, and the Czech goaltending was on. Don't read into the bullshit
Yo this aged like milk
good recap ty
Sets up for a really interesting tournament if Canada can get their act together. Will be fun to watch!
In the third period Canada was dominating but had so many weak calls penalty wise also, Canada was outshooting Czechia by 10 goals the whole third period so, there was nothing more that they could do because the Czechia goalie carried them to the end and was the only reason why they beat them.
They got beat because Czechia scored 5 and Canada scored 2, Canada is not a team but a bunch of wanna be highlight clips and it costed them on their lack of defense.
I don't know what game you watched, but I saw a bunch of spoiled, coddled, and over-hyped, arrogant little bastards trying to score Michigans instead of playing hockey. They deserved to get beaten.
They beat them fair and square, their arrogance with michigans blinded them and cost them the game
Just want to point out that this is one of the best generation for Czechs from Jágrs, Hašek, Eliáš gen. Also Czechs are quite older than Canadians. So it makes sense that first game of IIHF might go their (our) way. Let's go Team Czechia! :)
It still doesn't make sense for Canada to lose against them... Not the same skill level
As a Canadian, good luck to your team! The Czechs played a solid game! I hope we get a rematch before it’s over.

After growing up recognizing Canada, as ground zero for Hockey, it seems more and more, that it isn’t Canada’s game anymore….
damn, and in a few hours there will be a final between Canada and Czechia. What a passion from our Czech national team. BTW: such a great video man!
Maybe team Canada got a little too confident coming in and got humbled. Let's see what they can do for the rest of the tournament. Great job by the Czechs!
Well, one problem with Canada's perpetual assumptions that they will always win this tournament is that they do, occasionally lose. So why all the fuss and hoo-ha ??? Being a Canadian, I am perplexed by the arrogance of the Canadian media, especially that of the TSN ( Toronto-Hockey-Network ) and Sportsnet, talk about over inflated ego individuals......
Us Frenchies aren't much better. Every year the same moron of an analyst says the same thing : ''Canada could make two teams and win both Gold and Silver''. And once every 2 years or so the same moron makes excuses about how we ''got unlucky'' when we lose to a country with the same population as Alberta (most notably Finland). These people are stuck in 1985 when 90% of the NHL players were Canadian. They aren't anymore. Our numbers have shrunk to roughly 1/3 of the league, with another 1/3 being Americans and 1/3 Europeans. Within 5-10 years Americans will outnumber us. And it shows in the World Juniors ! Our rosters aren't as deep as they used to be, and foreign rosters aren't as thin as they used to be. We aren't the clear favorites we used to be. Our media needs to wake the f up because the way they see international hockey is terribly inappropriate for the current trends.
Wow! Wow! very good breakdown, very good video!!
That penalty call was right as a major. He launches his body up and through the opponent and leaves his feet which is in the rulebook. Principal point of contact was probably not the head but the dangerous check was the right major call
5 goals on 16 shots. And whole video spoken like a true Canadian
I always root for the least woke country. Go Czechs! It was a delicious win.
This is exactly why we love the game of hockey! Isn't this why we watch this great tournament.
Btw about 2:01 at what point did the player get cut by his visor on the way down? I just watched the game and there was like 15 replays and none of these showed what you are talking about. It was the initial contact that hit the visor into his face. (shoulder to the head, not the hands going upwards from the chest, the hands were secondary contact)
Considering Czechia got almost a full period of power play time and Canada got like, four minutes and still managed to get almost 40 shots I’d say they did pretty good.
It's called being undisciplined..what penalties did you have a problem with btw?
@@brent3611 That 5 minute call was garbage. Shouldn’t have even been a minor and it really killed all momentum they had in the game. There was also a slashing call near the end of the game where the guy just dropped his stick after getting a little tap. There were also a couple missed calls on the Czechs like one of their players slashing the goalie in the face shortly after the disallowed Canada goal and Bedard getting a pretty hard slash while on a partial breakaway.
A lot of the shots were weak.
@@Outta-hz1ej Did you watch the game. Throughout the late second and most of the third they were throwing everything they could at the Czech goalie who made some crazy saves.
we weren't watching the same game. lol
Czech Mate.
Oh but regarding the hit to the head, I don't know how you say it doesn't reflect the IIHF rulebook. They don't get too focused on "principal point of contact." There's a brief passage early in the rule about:
"A hit resulting in contact with an opponent’s head where the head was the main point of contact and such contact to the head was
avoidable is not permitted."
But later, it opens it up to even more scenarios such as:
"A penalty for illegal checking to the head or neck will be assessed if one of the following occurs when a player checks an opponent:
(I) A Player who directs a hit of any sort, with any part of their body or equipment, to the head or neck of an opposing Player
or drives or forces the head of an opposing Player into the protective glass or boards using any part of their upper body.
(II) A Player who extends and directs any part of their upper body to contact the head or neck of an opponent.
(III) A Player who extends their body upward or outward in order to reach their opponent or uses any part of the upper body
to contact an opponent’s head or neck.
(IV) A Player who jumps (leaves their skates) to deliver a blow to the head or neck of an opponent"
In that hit, I'd say I, II, III, and IV all happened there. You did a great job freezeframing both his skates leaving the ice. And the general motion of his hit, he glided in hunched down low, before quickly raising upwards to deliver the hit. But you also took the most flattering angle for this hit in an effort to intentionally obscure the head contact. There's a different one out there where you can see Dean's right shoulder absolutely making contact with the guy's head.
Yeah, it was absolutely the right call, lol
I mean, what we just witnessed is just difference in history of this tournament. Canada completely dominate them for last 10 and more years and Czechia was just suffering. Yeah, they end up 4th last tournament and this is hopefully just start for better future. Czechia just hunting their comeback into ice hockey map in compare to Canada who just dominate. So, I believe that's the biggest different here. Different motivation. Anyway, first match of tournament usually does not matter much but will see. Greeting from Czechia! Loves your video's
Really? I wasn’t embarrassed. It’s hockey. Both teams show up to play. There can by design be only one winner. Relax.

It's being made into an individualized everyone for himself the new era is about getting star players and you have to compete as a star player or be a strong support to that's thong player to keep your job. In a band, these star players are soloists. You're putting natural soloists into a band and hoping they'll mesh.
This is rough. Canada does have a great team on paper. But my word when you out paper to the test it doesn't hold much up.
The chemistry or, as you said, their system, was impeccable. Someone was filling a cycle position or wheeling to the net on rebounds or getting in the crease while having controlled board passing. That's wonderful hockey flow.

aye your from halifax too? i wanted to go to the game but the resell price on the tickets was like $500-$1k
I would have benched the player that tried "The michigan". And Bedard has 4 options to pass to on a 4 on 1 and decides it's a good time to toe drag.
These are young (not fully mature ) men, who abandoned team play and tried to win the game back through their individual efforts after falling behind. I think the Canadian coach should have taken a time out after the second goal to calm his guys down and re-instill the need for "team" oriented play.
I also concur with a previous comment about the lack of respect and arrogance shown toward the opponent by trying the " Michigan" goal shots. That type of "hotdogging" fits better when you are well ahead in the score, or in exhibition games!
No excuses. Half the team was trying to be a hero, the other half was waiting for someone to be a hero. Just like the 1972 summit series, they got to the game like it was a party.
