2025 World Junior Championship Pre-Tournament Game Extended Highlights: Canada vs. Czechia

[@FlyingScot911]

Can't wait for Boxing Day. My favorite time of year. Love watching these young guys fight for their respective countries. Go Canada...

[@fightinface]

What is Boxing day?

[@NuggetBlox2000]

@@fightinfaceit’s December 26th for Canada it’s called Boxing Day (also the day world juniors start)

[@alexananin]

No Russia no party😢

[@wingy72]

There is so much parity developed over the last decade or so, this is no longer a cake walk for the Canadians anymore but it makes this tourney so much more fun and exciting to watch. Go team Canada.

[@lAmCanad1an]

It’d be even more exciting to watch Celebrini and Bedard together too.

[@Madmartigan6]

Sort of, Bedard and Celebrini are both playing in the NHL and not being loaned for the tournament. With the two of them on team Canada this is probably a different game.

[@GoldCountryTrapping]

Sort of, Canada could send another 3 or 4 teams that could compete and win.

[@lAmCanad1an]

@@Madmartigan6 Ya people forget that. Last year we had 5 not loaned, 4 forwards and our top D.

[@TheOnlyHobbs]

How did he get away with that massive slash and then interference right in front of the net?

[@bearingtondudesly9168]

My thoughts exactly

[@lucassundqvist9762]

Cuz its canada

[@gameburn178]

Absolutely thrilled that Czechia has excellent teams again. They had some lean years but that seems to be past. Anyone sad to see Russia less dominant? Lol

[@rhwing5095]

To me, all these "international" tournaments feel incomplete without Russia.

[@jasonstanko403]

Fast Forward to 5:10 of the video. Wannabe NHL ref should have stopped the play before the goal. Hopefully he doesn't get any more games this tournament. He has some growing to do.

[@bearingtondudesly9168]

Agreed! That was a brutal non-call.

[@rickyclerk3700]

You guys obviously are casuals . The guy hit him and then dropped his stick then he was pushed and fell down like a limp noodle and grab the stick of the Canadian player so yes there should have been a penalty for holding a stick. It wasn't a cross check !

[@Altair17670]

Slash + crosscheck to the back = no problem for team Canada

[@ufolovec3537]

The last goal should not have been awarded, the referee should have called a foul, a clear crosscheking by the Canadian player... 5:12

[@brokenglass6355]

Clearly not a crosscheck and Simik held his stick for waaaaay longer than he should have.

[@juliankyle2806]

Cross Checking wouldn't be the call. You can argue that is should have been called interference, but when he is holding his stick with only 1 hand it cant be cross checking. The game seemed pretty scrapy, so I doubt the refs would have called interference on a play where the two of them are going at each other.

[@jasonjads7452]

Good things to like about this team canada. I like the momentum on the offense to hold possession of the puck and their ability to track back on the defense. Only thing that worries me is they have made a lot of centring pass give aways. Also would like to see more direct chances on net

[@pellegebing9805]

Canadas last goal should not stand it's a clear slashing from gibson

[@TheBeastieBoy]

This Canadian team seems very beatable and not as strong on offense like in previous years. Other nations have caught up in terms of skill. Canada's goaltending isn't helping much it seems, then again goaltending at these tournies usually isn't the star of the show.

[@kappa0642]
