GDT: Canada vs Česko

[Sheppy]

Only took 3 disallowed goals in two game while their clear interference was counted.

congrats best team ever on getting handed everything and earning shit

 

[Peiskos]

Feels great, but the job isn't done...eyes shift to Gothenburg 2024 and the three-peat.

 

[jj cale]

Nice mutual respect with the players in the handshake, you can see it in their eyes.

 

[JackSlater]

Roy's best play all tournament was putting that hat on rather than the generic "NOT Hockey Canada" hat.

 

[Chainshot]

Full marks to Moncton and Halifax for pulling this together in relatively short order. I know the hint of bigger crowds likely draws this into major Canadian markets again, but it's the junior cities where this tournament shines when it is in North America.

Can't win men's tournaments tho

So if they can't win men's tournaments ... then why do they win so many men's tournaments? Your comment makes no sense.

Does any other country outside of Canada and TSN care so much about this tournament or hype it up so much?

I'm happy Canada won and it's good to be a global villain. But it reminds me of the old Canada Cup, except it's the Junior Canada Cup now. With no Russia, it really doesn't feel the same.

Canada needs to address a few things going forward that's for sure.

Without Russia doesn't feel the same. Sure. But that's not TSN or team Canada's fault
We can have it other cities or countries but the fact is, even opposition players love playing in Canada front of full house

 

[amnesiac]

When did Canada last lose a true best-on-best? 2006?

yep!

 

[ruaware41]

were the crowd really chanting refs you suck at the end there lmao

 

[nbwingsfan]

I don't think that is the case.

no one looks at the US above Czechia.

Silver > Bronze.

As players on the ice the overall feeling of winning bronze likely feels better than losing for Silver.

 

[hockey20000]

now on to sweden for the 3 peat!

 

[fahad203]

ticket pricing was also WAY THE HELL BETTER!!!

30% of the cost of the last time in Toronto. I can 'assume' same with Montreal.

Let's see if they stay the same next time it comes to a major city.

Can you get Hotels?
Toronto average night for hotels is around 300 bucks
jeesssss

I guess.

I don't think so.

Playing in the real game, and losing, is better than winning the consolation game. At least it always felt like that when I was young.

 

[Jetsfan79]

So is it pounounced check-ee-ah or chech-ee-ah?

 

[trilobyte]

Watched so many of these WJC, and yet each time I get surprised once again looking at these kids, so young, who provide such great dedication and entertainment. It gets me every time when I see their emotions on display especially at the final handshake line.

I am happy Canada won back to back Gold Medals this past 6 months, but without Russia in the tournament, it truly does not feel the same. I would be lying to say otherwise.

Even though we won Gold, I still think Canada could do a better job with the roster going forward. I was scratching my heads when some talented offensive players were left off this team, and this team found itself in tie games when it could have gone either way due to the lack of finish. It took OT wins against the Czechs and Slovaks to win Gold. However, a win is a win.

 

[TheBeard]

Connor stops the captain with words of encouragment and then hugs Kulich. THE DUDE IS 16!!! Absolutely unreal maturity.

 

[Czechboy]

Canada golden baby! Bedard gotta play with Roy for his career you all see this.

Cesko amazing team, congrats on Silver, you guys are great. That goes for their fans here as well, you guys are rockstars @Czechboy

I would love Suchanek to sign with my NHL club, bright future for that kid.

Your posts were hillarious all tourney! Congrats

 

[Canadian Finn]

So is it pounounced check-ee-ah or chech-ee-ah?

by the time you learn it, they'll change it again

 

[BenchBrawl]

Joshua Roy is an absolute beauty

 

[Sheppy]

I’m totally going to Sweden and getting absolutely clobbered drunk all trip.

 

[amnesiac]

Joshua Roy is an absolute beauty

small sample size, but looked better than Wright!

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Very happy to see the smiles on the Czech players' faces during the presentations. Silver is something to celebrate, glad they shook it off so quickly and enjoyed this.

It meant a lot to the Czechs
