  1. Luck was on our side in 2022 and not on our side in 2023! Unfortunately, a lucky bounce knocked us out this year, but I'll always remember this save.

  2. I was watching this game on my phone sitting at a restaurant bar and when McTavish made that stick save I jumped out of the barstool and yelled! Needless to say the next couple minutes were unforgettable. Easily the biggest gave-saving play I've ever seen at any level of hockey. Ridiculous. And to think it's two superstars like McTavish and Bedard in front.

  3. I was in the building for this game. The moment was absolutely electric, I can still clearly remember Mctavish stopping that puck on the line, despite barely remembering the goal that won Canada the game.

  4. I'm just discovering this channel now, and I'm loving the content! How did I NOT see this channel sooner?? How have I not known about before?? Great videos.

  5. Was at that game, right as our player hit the puck away from the open net EVERYONES and I mean EVERYONES heart skipped a beat. We all thought it was over, then the puck made it's way down the ice. The goal exploded the arena essentially. Glad I was there. Still felt bad looking at the Fins, I know exactly how they felt, as I played a kinda high level in hockey nothing impressive though. Lost in the final at a big tournament known as Silver Stick.

  6. the fin guy who took the shot started to raise his hands thinking he scored….must have had a WTF moment right there and probably hates himself for doing that and not keep going for the puck !! lol

  7. referees lost the game for finland, in 2-0 goal the cross stick was obvious penalty but wasnt.

  8. I really enjoyed this tournament in august. Honestly wish they would have stayed with that schedule. It felt nice to get back into hockey over the summer . Plus these kids wouldn't have to miss any regular games for club teams

  9. #7 of Finland (was standing in goalie area during McTavish save) – He will know why to finish playing the every!!! episode.

  10. The stop was no luck, the bounces for sure were pure luck. I remember this like it was yesterday!

  11. Actually funny how canadians can only compliment other countries in hockey when they win, but if canada loses, they will disregard the tournament’s worth, or who canada didnt have, or the refs were bad or qhatever

  12. The number of times Finland has lost important games in any sport due to bizarre events..

  13. Well, nothing compares to this loss: "Sweden vs Finland – IIHF WC QF 2003 (Most Iconic Commentary in Swedish History)". Also this one left a rather bad aftertaste: "In controversial fashion, Finland has OT winner waved off after review" .

  14. Thanks so much for bringing those memories back. Skilled luck was what he demonstrated here. More often than not this wouldn't have worked for him, but it would work more often for him than most other people.
