Czechia vs. Canada - 2023 World Juniors Highlights

[@demoadra4661]

The Czechia goal keeper deserves a gold medal just for his performance. Well played both teams, was awesome game.

[@GoldieBoots]

he plays in my hometown major junior team and he is really a phenomenal goalkeeper!

[@AHFAN11]

agreed, honestly just that last attempted save was was amazing in and of itself. he was a sliver from getting it and he did one hell of a stretch attempting to save it, a stretch like that is rare even in the NHL.

[@jeffvanderwerf3391]

You could argue he deserved the first star even in a losing effort!

[@miroslavhavlas1443]

I would like to thank all Canadian fans for the kind words I have seen in the comments, for the fact that you do not think about Czech team as something less but as a worthy opponent! Congratulations for the GOLD medal and cheers from Czechia! :) It was a great game.

[@MrNorberg]

Don't let you get fooled, if Czechia would win, there would be a whole other atmosphere in most of the canadian comments, and a lot fewer...

[@HeyRoosty]

@@MrNorberg That's just wrong. We aren't Americans. We don't default to jackass behavior. Czechia had an amazing team, it was anyone's game. Had they won it would be because they were the better team. That's it that's all.

[@MrNorberg]

@@HeyRoosty Nope, it's not wrong. It's the same for all countries and sports in general. The only difference is to what extence the different comments would have been between a win or loss for the country in question. Yes, Id say americans feel typically worse in most cases, including this, but I have seen how many more..., let's say, less nice/polite comments when Canada has lost a game, wether it's the final or not. It doesnt matter what country you are from, whenever you win there will always be more nice comments from the winning country cause it's always easier to be nice when you are happy yourself. Then there are people that are nice and polite towards people nearly always, but sadly it's not the majority, or at least not the majority that feel the need to comment, wether it's a positive or negative comment. Good day, Sir.

[@miroslavhavlas1443]

@@MrNorberg lets all agree that it is I would say a question of individual behavior - there will always be people who hate, but the ones who think positive will always be positive in both situations :) people tend to lean to stereotypes that some nations does this more, maybe they does IDK but in general there are great people everywhere all over the world, and lets leave haters aside

Smutnit by měly předešlé výběry, které od Kanady dostávaly sedmičky a ještě měly tu drzost mluvit o super partě. Ano, budou tam slzy, ale není důvod, aby trvaly dlouho. Stříbro za prohru v prodloužení s nejlepším týmem světa má punc zlata. Díval jsem se na to v Torontu v baru a při obou golech řval jako pominutý. Ti distingovaní kanadští příznivci se vzmohli jen na větu: "Are you happy now?" I kámoš Kanaďan měl pro Čechy jen slova chvály. Tohle stříbro je potřeba náležitě oslavit. Docení ho až s léty.

The fact that no NHL team drafted Tomáš Suchánek is nuts, in 2021 NHL Central Scouting had him ranked #6 overall. He plays for Tri-City in the WHL a league where a goalie's stats cant be taken seriously because of a mismatch between teams and a very high amount of scoring. He's 19 so Im not sure if he still has to be drafted or whether a team can just sign him but if Im a team with some extra cap and a space in the AHL I'm signing this guy immediately to a entry level contract. Worst case scenario he doesnt work out, you loan him to a Czech team where he'll probably sign after the contract runs out and he ends up being a long tenured Goalie in one of the top Euro leagues but I was impressed with this guy the entire tournament and especially in this loss to Canada where he stayed on the ice despite being wiped out and held a Canadian team with absolute Future Superstars on it to only 3 goals this game and only 2 the first game of tournament. He led the entire tournament in Goals allowed average 1.38 and saves percentage .939, the only teams to score more than 1 goal against him were Canada & Sweden which were both 3-2 losses and his only losses with a 5-2 record.

Yo, seriously...INSANE effort from Czechia here! I'm Canadian, and was playing poker in a local bar during this game. At 2-0, I announced that I wanted 2-2 instead of a Canadian blowout. Then I got the 2-2 that I asked for, and *immediately* started sh*tting myself. lol Overtime = anyone's game. It could have just easily been you guys. I'm happy that Canada pulled it off, but there's nobody in this tournament I would have rather lost to than Czechia.

3 vs 3 should really be banned from any competetive hockey. It is not the same sport, it is called arcade hockey. 4 vs 4 is acceptable, and also better than shootout. At least 20 minutes of 4 vs 4 overtime and after that a shootout if necessary, could be the best.
