It's Our Game .Team Canada's Victory at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey

[@richlewis1879]

Amazing how Mario had lost so much speed, but was still able to play his game. He just saw the ice better than just about every player in history! His hands were out of this world. Plus his size made him very hard to body

[@jimturner4937]

That Finnish team was amazing. Of all the international teams, Finland is most admirable. They don't whine, complain, cry foul...they just play & they're damn good.

[@mrwaltermathews]

They're like a less talented Canada.

[@TheBillaro]

Fins r awesome ppl.

[@RoyalMela]

Was funny when the names were brought out. "...Saku Koivu, Teemu Selänne, Jere Lehtinen and Mikko Eloranta." Mikko WHO? He was perhaps the last player chosen to the team and never made it big NHL.

[@darkazon5343]

As Finn, I thank you. We finnish people regard the 2006 olympic silver medal team, as the best finnish team that has ever been put together.

[@jimturner4937]

@@mrwaltermathews they may not have the depth Canada has but they're a much smaller country and that fact has never prevented them from always playing with the heart of lions. And look at the talent they produced: Kurri, Selanne, Koivu just to name a few. So many more.

[@james_d_eaton]

Okay...watching the first game in Montreal: USA vs Canada gives me chills. There are few places in all of the world, more electric than Montreal when you are the home team.

[@jarrettfullerton2580]

Two things 1) look at all the players without visors. Truly a different time. 2) imagine having a lineup deep enough to have Joe Thornton on your 3rd "checking" line

[@reyjusuf]

Lemieux - Sakic - Iginla. Deadly.

[@anti-woke617]

i think the Canadian team from the 96 world cup that lost to usa in finals was a far superior roster. they lost but on paper, best team ever.

[@errbt]

"Hockey is the best sport" fact #2: Even though class act Steve Yzerman's withdrawal of himself from Canada's roster meant that #19 was opened up for class act Joe Sakic to wear, Sakic still refused to take it, sticking with #91 to keep #19 unused in honor of Yzerman.

Finland indeed have a great hockey team with the likes Selanne, Kurri, Kiprusoff, Koivu, Jokinen, Numminen and Rask.

[@xTheGregx]

Man 2004 was a great year for the Lightning organization, win a cup then Marty, Vinny and Brad win gold at this event.

[@princeofpop8]

I watched the whole tournament for Canada and I was happy to see Joe Thornton to play this time after not getting a chance for 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. I never thought Finland would get this far for the Championship game vs Canada, they got Selanne, Koivu, Ruutu, Numminen and red hot Kiprusoff. The Championship game was just a day before my 18th birthday and boom on my birthday my dad was hospitalized due to breathing problems and the NHL officially went to a lockout. Still seeing Canada win undefeated was the early birthday gift.

[@MrFlippin24]

It was one of the dream team . we've seen other teams canada even better since

[@sebastienduplessis7959]

The squad of 2014 at Sotchi, is one of the best ever. They masterclassed the Swedes for that gold.

[@mrwaltermathews]

​@@sebastienduplessis79592010 and 2002 had to be considered better than 2014 no?

[@jarambahboy9391]

What a team

[@errbt]

"Hockey is the best sport" fact #1: Steve Yzerman withdrew himself from Canada's roster from this tournament because he felt that, due to injuries, he wouldn't be able to play at the level needed and would be taking a roster spot that should go to a player better able to contribute. The player that was then added in his place? Vincent Lecavalier (hard to believe he wasn't already on the roster, actually, but true).

[@Lexngton]

And Lecavalier went on to win MVP awards for the tournament, astonishing

[@errbt]

@@Lexngton That's my point. Had Yzerman not done the honorable thing and removed himself, and instead had stayed on the roster, reaching vainly for one last chance at glory, the team wouldn't have had Lecavalier, nor likely won the gold medal .

[@Lexngton]

@@errbta great point it is 👍🏻

[@errbt]

@@Lexngton Yep, Lecavalier was a budding superstar, and those three Lightning players together (he, Richards, & St. Louis) were dynamite.

[@james_d_eaton]

Kipper was a total beast in this era. Possibly the best goalie in the NHL at the time, and I say this as a guy whose favourite goalie of all time is Brodeur.

[@mrwaltermathews]

100%. Granted Kipper was a division rival of my Canucks so I saw him more than others but he was in my top 3 goalies I've ever seen. Brodeur isn't.

[@RayFinkle05]

When Eagle gloves stopped being used in the NHL, that was the beginning of the end.

[@ninjakitty5884]

The Czech anthem is the best part of the whole video

[@christophercolumbus8944]

[@tyraelhermosa]

Those players look like men. Today’s players look so, so much younger..

[@berryscott3590]

Things I recall about this tourney... prior to watching this vid... Brad Richards played well... Lecalvalier scored a big goal, the big goal,in the semis, wasn't it? ...Maltby, Draper & Thornton, if I recall correctly, were a very good line... JayBo (who played on our World Jr Team at 16, if memory serves) looked very good in a TC uniform, as per usual...Scott Neidermayer was Scott Neidermayer...Jovocop looked like he didn't belong... Brodeur got hurt & missed a game... BUT they don't beat the Czechs in semis, without Luongo.. .Also, on the other side of the pond, Czechs destroyed Swedes, and Swedish fans, still hurt from their meltdown , 2 years earlier, in Salt Lake City, really vilified their 'over-paid' stars, their words not mine... Brutal, brutal tourney for Tres Kronors...

A good team, yes. Definitely NOT "One of the best team ever." 1972 Team Canada was better. The 1987 Canada Cup Team was way better. The 2002 Team Canada Olympic Team was 10x better. This squad was a good group of players, but that's it. Certainly not worth of being called a "Dream Team."

@@cheese5565469 - You may have watched then series many years after it happened but the part you fail to see, and it's because you aren't from that time, is that '72 Team Canada played an 8 game series against The Red Army team that nobody outside of Russia had ever laid eyes on. We know now that Russian hockey is a big bad hockey playing animal. In '72, we didn't know that. That Team Canada went into those games blind against a Russian team, that played as a team, for years and years and years! The only thing comparable to that today would be if aliens from space showed up and had a hockey team and wanted to have a series. Those Canadian boys did a top notch job against a Russian team of all-stars. It wasn't just the team that I admire. It was the situation.
