Celebrini wasn't quite the phenom he was billed as.
Secondary scoring disappeared. Only one other Canadian in the top 32 in scoring. That's even with the 10-0 stomping of Latvia.
Bruce Where It Is? Bruce Where It Is?
Let's just face reality Team Canada just didn't have the high caliber talent like the other teams. The goaltending was good , defense was awful, the forwards just could not finish. We lost because we were simply not good enough
Who went too the dirty areas? Trying too pass through too many defenders. Outside perimeter game.
Thank you for the content!! All we need is the right advice on how to invest in crypto and we will be set for life, I made over a million dollars from trading this year regardless of the market conditions😊🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤
Silly, this wasn't their first loss. It was their second. They lost to Sweden 2-0 remember.
Stop trying to convince me they were "all" that. Team Czech, other then their loss to Slovakia in their first game, 2 to 6, Czech beat Norway 8-1; Czech went to O/T with USA and lost, 4-3; Czech beat Switz 4-2; before beating Canada.
Where did all of Czech players play this year? They played in Portland, Mlada Boleslav, Val D'or, HC Olomouc, Brantford, HC Plzen, Kamloops, UMASS, Bili Tygri, Sudbury, Prince George, Sherbrooke/Rimouski, AHL Rochester, Baie Comeau, Swedish leagues, Everett, Barrie, Victoria, Saginaw, Mississauga, SHL or under-division; not to forget the players that got turned away from the final roster: players from Flint, Edmonton, and more Czech leagues.
I believe it's really because Canada was scared – SCARED -of having to face the young studs of the USA if they beat…….who?….
Need some tucks if you want gold
A leaf prospect as captain recipe for disaster😅😂
What went down was European countries catching up and getting better than Canada.
Goaltending was brutal in this game. Snipers were non existing. No accurate shooting and defence was average. Couldn’t defeat good teams. Beating Finland, Germany and Latvia was not convincing. Couldn’t beat the US, Sweden or Czechs. Barely beat Germany.
How to pick a great team. Player requires a bit of each quality. Fast skater. Good passer. Smart hockey sense. Accurate shooter. Good forechecker. Defenceman covers the man not the puck. Can shoot from the point. Block shots. Gets pucks quickly up to the forwards. Gets involved in the offence when opportunity arises and a forward backs him up. Goaltending that knows the European game.
props to team canada for leaving behind their best players
Disaster? You have gold literally almost every year! What should Slovakia say? Missing the one opportunity for a medal. Losing in overtime twice in a row and now weaker generations and worse results will come…
The other teams try too. They lost a game. They're human.
do you ever actually sit down and watch a game?
Czechia has been in the semi finals for the past few years now let alone got silver last year.
I think it is good for the sport. Just like soccer, as the sport became more popular, other countries are catching up. You can’t expect Brazilian to win every FIFA World Cup even though they are very good every World Cup. I would rather see Canada beating improved team like Germany by small margin than blowing out team 10-0 every game like the women’s hockey.
They kept missing the net…that was the problem
I love the Juniors and seeing other teams catching up is exciting. The tournaments are actually fun to watch now. Feels like the competition is getting much stronger. Canada, USA, Sweden, etc… are still the dominant teams but this tournament was crazy. Big ups to the other countries on their upsets.
The Canadian Team lacked experience. They did not have the structure many of the other teams have. I really believe that in North America in general, you can be a high draft pick if you score lots of goals, or are a D man who scores and has good helper numbers. It was at one time natural to send a high pick down because he was so poor defensively, now no one cares. Guys are scoring 100 points and are plus 6 or 8 or 15. some are even in minus numbers with big points numbers. Teams that play defense first, win. Coaching was likewise lacking, in structure and team D.
I feel bad for Bonk. Tough break.
If Hockey Canada actually iced a better team this wouldn’t have happened… Bedard was eligible, Fantilli, Benson, Wright and also some draft eligibles for 2024 like Berkly Catton, Cayden Lindstrom, Tij Iginla, Sam Dickinson etc they could have put together a power house and they chose not to… and these YouTubers making videos like this is a massive shock or an upset is hilarious, if you knew about hockey this Canada team was not going far and if they did THAT would have been the shocking result not them getting eliminated this early, This was expected..
