This was a classic shoot-out. Toews showed what he was made of in this performance: clutch ability and character. Chicago Blackhawks fans are very, very lucky to have him. Price also proved his worth in this performance. Montreal is lucky to have him.

[@QtommyQ]

World meet Mr. Jonathon Toews. Three goals in one shootout. Absolutely amazing. North American hockey is definitely on the ride when you watch the quality of these kids on the ice.

[@mtminardi]

Saw Bourdon in the pile on in the end... :-( RIP

[@cjvs1604]

9 goals, 14 shots, this may be the best shootout ever

[@MapleLeafsWired]

I remember watching this shootout I was so nervous lol! BUT GO CANADA!

[@LacrosseBoss]

you're very welcome. I couldn't help it. All the talent in that tourney, the best shootout I've ever seen (amongst all the debate about it happening, etc). Oh yeah, and the boys bringing home the hardware.

[@LacrosseBoss]

this game had some of the best rookies out there, on BOTH sides. Which is why I always love watching Canada vs USA.

[@Derokos]

Amazing shootout. Simply amazing.

[@LacrosseBoss]

as a hockey fan, I really enjoyed this shootout. I would've said the same had Canada lost even. I'm a fan of hockey and excitement and I've never been so on edge as I was when this shootout was going on. Oh, and Johnson's a putz. Mocking the Canadian bench? No wonder he'll never make it in the NHL

[@strongproudcanadian]

even after watching this for the 100th time its still amazing

[@qiranwang]

i'm watching this vid after the 07-08 nhl season, it is totally a classic. Most of the shooters in here are stars now eg price, kane, towes, muller, the competitions b/t kane and towes is incredible!!!

[@kingrich51]

I really don't remember Little being on this team. But look at how great this WJ team was. Almost everyone on it is either playing bigs roles for their NHL team, or are finally starting to crack the rosters.

[@QtommyQ]

Patrick Kane named NHL Rookie of the Month with 16 points in 12 games and Jonathon Toews with 10 points in his first 10 NHL games (and counting). It's finally good to be a Blackhawk fan again.

[@tef0324]

unreal shootout I wish we got those games on tv here in the states. No matter who's better kane or toews its good news for the blackhawks

[@Kadets6]

wasnt this game played in finland or switerland?

[@conskate]

Amazing shootout.

[@xJust2Deadly]

Bryan Little! Go Jets Go!

[@friskie1986]

Wow, I appreciate you posting that. Among other things, I tried recording this one straight from the television but the quality turned out like dung; it wasn't worth uploading to KZbin. TSN Broadband videos run perfectly on my computer, so maybe I'll give it a shot next time using your method.

[@xBaitMyScenex]

basketball was created by a Canadian, therefore a Canadian sport. Glad you take such a liking to it though!

[@sgtderk1]

ur canadian players make americans rich! Thnx!

[@Roechuk97]

As far as the shootout goes, both teams were stellar and Toews put Canada through to the gold medal. He's a great guy and a great player, who has spent the past 5 years playing in AMERICA for American schools and teams. So there's no need for any of this crap. Great game, great teams, great players. Enough said.

[@eddie80ihcl]

that was a sick shoot-out!!!!

[@darkinu]

wow! im proud to say thats my team! GO CANADA!

[@aedk10]

thats classic...i remember watching this live...that shot of Bourdon at the very end makes it a little sad though

[@PTpredsfan]

What arena is this?

[@will81387]

TOEWS! PRICE! The best junior hockey game that i never seen! GO CANADA!

[@zeewell]

Well I'm from Victoria so I have to put up with a lot of canucks fans and I make that exact point to them all the time. I tell them that if Vancouver got Phaneuf they would be so happy, so thank you for being the first one to admit that.

[@19pink19]

Where was this?

[@CivilCon8]

omg best shootout ever !!! Canada FTW!

[@violanna]

i absolutely agree!

[@MarshLuongo4]

it was a good shootout, and both countries have young prospects that will enter the nhl soon, and im looking forward to it. but Canada came out on top in this one. AND IM DAMN PROUD

[@bantercanada]

I am a proud Canadian and dam proud that we produce great hockey players. We love our sport and we should be proud of it. I also think we need to hold onto everything we can because you can't deny, and have to give americans their props, since they pretty much kick our ass at every other sport on the planet! Hell they kick everyone's ass. Their take at just about every single olympics proves it.

[@fahq02x]

at baseball? what was the score of the canada usa game. canada 8 usa 6

[@goleafsgo0293]

Hearing all the names that were in this tourney ;) Brian little, steve downie, carey price , john toews , andrew cogliano?

[@nobber19]

This was one of the most intense game I have ever watched, I couldn't believe how long it went, and to show how die hard of a Canadian fan I was, I was 25 min late for work haha, GO CANADA GO, OTTAWA IN 2009 BABY!

[@hckyplyr55]

I remember we were still at school when this happened. I miss school actually, graduating is weird. Anyways I was in Chemistry class, and our teacher stopped his lecture and put this on our LCD overhead projector, we got to see just the shootout, Brad Marchand went to our school, so when Canada won our school went nuts!

[@jayfreshprime]

Jack Johnson would've been "NHL ready" had he not been traded to the dysfunctional Kings. What a legendary game, the Canadian tradition.

[@rsvidsareownage]

usa did good, but canada is way too good in hockey.

[@LacrosseBoss]

Toews is God's gift to Blackhawks fans. Enjoy this kid!

[@friskie1986]

I agree with everything you said except for the losing part. The Canada-US rivalry is big; I hate losing to the States in hockey in any competition (not that it happens very often, hehe). I also couldn't stand how Mueller skated right in front of the Canadian bench after scoring his goals. Thank goodness he had to skate through a party after missing his third attempt. Have fun in Phoenix, Peter (!) By the way, thanks for posting this. =)

[@LacrosseBoss]

WinTV 2000. It's a USB to Cable converter. So I was watching this one through my laptop playing around and decided to try the Record feature on their software. Pretty powerful stuff. I had a few other things up here but they have been pulled due to copyright. But yeah, Hoppage WinTV2000

[@JuliusJell]

I think you mean the 2006 World Baseball Classic. Major Leaguers were allowed to play in that contest, but a lot of MLB teams and players were worried about getting hurt for the MLB Season(of course). A few good MLB players still played, and it was a good upset win by the Canadians, even though you guys did not get past the first round. A lot of MLB players said that they were dissapointed in themselves for not participating, and that they will be ready for the 2009 World Baseball Classic.

[@friskie1986]

Yes, I agree. I think the only team that gets a decent amount of fan support down south is Tampa Bay. The northern U.S. and Canada are where people generally are hungrier for hockey. In Canada, I'd love for Winnipeg to have a team again, and in the U.S., perhaps they could try Connecticut or Montana.

[@friskie1986]

I agree for the most part. I still think Winnipeg deserves another chance, although, yes, they'd need a new arena first. It just doesn't seem right that the western provinces have teams, as do Ontario & Quebec, & then there's Manitoba in the middle with nothing. I know Saskatchewan has nothing as well, but it's mostly farmland. I'd love to see a team move to Quebec or Hamilton, but I just think Winnipeg deserves one first. They'd give their team a lot of support. =)

[@mwindsor19]

Teows not only makes me proud to be Canadian but also a hockey fan and player...haha

[@JBomber22]

yes, you guys are starting to get better...maybe this will make alot more americans support their NHL teams

[@LacrosseBoss]

It's actually a software/device you have to purchase from any decent tech store. I'm in Canada and the price here was about $100. Maybe a bit steep but my house has 1 TV and I'm the only sports fan so it helps me out A TON! Oh, and it was a Christmas present. I've gotten good use out of it.

[@neongamer5375]

That's because he's awesome :)

[@theBADfish15]

great close game, wish USA would have won it but its 50/50 is the shootout with that many stars. GJ canada in the SO tho.

[@Winger97]

Carey Price hooking Kanes foot after his first shot XD GREAT!

[@KrisMTL]

awsome

[@Sk3L370R]

That was a close shoot out damn, I like both teams but i am a Canadian, any way good shoot out. (CANADA JUST WON AGAINST USA IN 2008 TOURNY). Yeaaa!

[@LacrosseBoss]

As much as Bettman wants the game to grow in the US he's also a business man. You gotta keep going wehre the money already is. If an opportunity comes for a team to come to Canada with HUGE potential to make money, it'll happen. Bettman may make some moves that make us fans scratch our heads but he's not a complete moron.

[@needtoknow675]

what a game

[@Sk3L370R]

This Guys a champ! :D

[@acmilan93333]

To true!

[@jarkkofan]

omg that was intence!!! GO CANADA!

[@bekak10]

soo gooddd

[@saskmovi]

It is so cute when Americans try to talk hockey. Next thing you know this guy will be talking curling and that would be absolutely adorable.

[@XBASSPLAYER4EVERX]

canada and u.s. the best teams ever.

[@snipes684]

During a football game there is about 5 minutes of actual play and action. Hockey games can have end to end rushes and into triple overtime. I rest my case.

[@LacrosseBoss]

Everyone in the tournament is 19 or younger. Most are NHL draft picks or entered in the draft and usually get drafted that year. Either way, amazing action every year.

[@uzi716]

USA! USA! USA! Yeah okay we didn't win but you have to admit that we have a damn good future in the Olympics and are players have a good future in the NHL. Plus, Frazee is BEAST and I am happy the Devils drafted him.

[@dmpaintballer333]

what about John Tavares ? .

[@newman20072008]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[@Pt_bar]

@evanderlazer umm....kane is american...

[@friskie1986]

Haha. That's so very true about the Devils' arena location. I suppose the team may get a lot of moral support, but no revenue/money support from ticket customers. With the new building in place, we'll see what kind of fans they really have. And I agree with your last line. I just wish they'd move some of the southern franchises north. Tampa can stay; they're doing OK. But Phoenix, Carolina, Anaheim?! Phoenix should be in Winnipeg...

[@siouxrube]

Ex FIGHTING SIOUX Jonathon Toews is the man and I'm American.I just love great hockey.

[@XfoofightersruleX]

that was awsome toews kicks ass

[@LacrosseBoss]

I do! Remember when Canada won in 1985, 88, 90-91 then 5 straight from 93 to 97 and now 4 straight again 2005 - 2008? See unlike the USA when we win a major international gold medal we don't need to classify it as a "miracle"

[@rut1212]

Bettman and right, two words that should never be used in the same sentence. He's already in over his head, there's at least 5 teams that shouldn't be in the US (ie. Florida, Carolina, Washington, Atlanta, St. Louis), but that's where the CORPORATE money is, all the money from the businesses. If all you needed for an NHL team was support, there would be an NHL team in every town in Canada.

[@Winger97]

At the last second of the video there is Luc Bourdon celebrating R.I.P he had a great future ahead of him in Vancouver

[@Canerican88]

Why is Canada so awesome!?

[@gamezky]

People thought that about Trevor Kidd too!

[@LacrosseBoss]

it's a thing called passion. Scoring on Frazee was actually quite simple. I guess the difference between American and Canadian hockey players is passion. Which could explain our 4 year run of golds and your two year run of being shut out of the medals.

[@Kilby6969]

aww yeah man totally =[ you from winnipeg too? he played for manitoba

[@JBomber22]

yes i totally agree, winnipeg is dying for a new team, they should have a team moved there, or atleast start a new one...some of those southern US teams are horrible for attendance, but one team that suprises me is Dallas, ppl seem to love hockey in Texas, a Houston team would prolly do pretty good with fans. And Canada needs some new teams aswell, Hamilton would of been a good one or i think somethin out east, like halifax maybe but i dunno.

[@LacrosseBoss]

Jackpot, there have only been six I think in Canada over the tournament's 30+ year history. It usually cycles through Sweden, Czech Republic, I think the USA has hosted a few times. The thing is, teams are not guaranteed a spot in the tourney. You can get relegated so the IIHF usually awards it to teams they think will make it (Russia, Canada, etc). Switzerland had the tourney in 2010 but declined because they may not be in it.

[@JuliusJell]

What team do you like? You don't even seem Canadian right now, are you?

[@LacrosseBoss]

way to watch. Toews went three times. So did Johnson. Difference being Toews scored all three. And in three different ways each time. Our goalie just caught on American players have 1 move.

[@will81387]

GO TEAM CANADA! YAHOO! Last year toews are the best!

[@NintendoSpoofer]

I think it was safe to say that we canadians gave a thing for hockey.

[@Jeancarlo97]

Let's make it five!!!

[@themayor031]

this is what canadian hockey is all about baby

[@JBomber22]

US is getting better....they did almost snag that win from us, so if you say the US sucks, well we must be not far behind then....They got some fresh young talent thats gonna help them out for years to come....now im not glorifying the US team here, but come on, give them some credit,they are getting pretty good and if you cant see that well i suggest you take your heads out your asses....p.s Im Canadian

[@OnRockIT]

This was intense. But the better team won.

[@BookemDeno]

that doesnt say they're bad CANADA is and always will be the best in hockey

[@stocktalkjay]

dont put down USA program too much, they only have these guys: Zack Parise, Phil Kessel, Patrick Kane, Dustin Brown, Paul Stastny, Chris Drury, Brian Rafalski, Ryan Suter anchoring on D. Tim Thomas (Vezina) in net. They have a supporting cast of Jamie Jamie Langenbrunner, Scottie Gomez, Ryan Kesler, T. J. Oshie, David Backes, Joe Pavelski. The team even left guys like jason pominville, bobby ryan, blake wheeler off the team.

[@NickPerryman18]

agree - Bryan Little is going to be reallll good lol.

[@1latino8]

Personally i dunt mind hockey and i live in canada but Hockey is the number 1 sport here. Thats WHY THEY KICK ASS! GO CANADA

[@PaulBProductions]

Wow :)

[@jarkkofan]

OH CANADA!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

[@elmoflash]

Better add Tavares. BTW you forgot Orr and Messier and Howe and Brodeur and Lafleur and Yzerman and Coffey and Esposito and.....

[@OnRockIT]

Did you watch the game? We came back from a 3-0 deficit. Canada outplayed your country so much, it abjected your teams status in hockey! At one point where one of your players had the golden opportunity to score and tie the game. Colin Wilson had time, space but Tokarski shut the door. It was not a close game at all. The thought that Team USA might win against Team Canada wasn't even a plausible idea.

[@H3asL1p]

this kid is unbelievable

[@nprevo22]

ok this is just me but if you pay attention most of the gaols that were scored were off of shots without any fancy stickhandling. so why did some of the shooters do the fancy crap???

[@CanadaForce]

Actually why don't you take a look at the roster for all the teams, and see where the majourty of the people on every team are from.

[@JuliusJell]

And somehow, we own the top Hockey League in our country that you guys have to come and play in. Our business gives you guys business.

[@BlastinHash709]

us had speed in the gold medal game thats how they broke out in the 3 on 1 canada battled back again usa cant keep a 2 goal lead less then 3 mins left? 2 games they faced eatchother in that tourny and canada battled back from 2 goals

[@JuliusJell]

Now I'm confused again. Are you American, Canadian, or something else.
