Canadian here. Just want to say a huge congratulations to Team USA! Those guys left absolutely NO doubt about who deserved the Gold.
Thank you Canada Tile next time!!
Thanks Canada.
Usa 🤝 Canada, mutual respect
Good on you for actually showing good sportsmanship and not crying “WE SHOULDA HAD BEDARD AND FANTILLI” because believe me, it felt like that’s all anybody was saying on Twitter and KZhead comments. Good on you for being a good sport.
Team USA, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, or Czechia are capable of winning every year. That’s what makes this one of the best tournaments.
You're right. It changes every year and makes it wonderful to watch.
Even Switzerland can sometimes chock us other hockey-nations. Or Latvia as in the World cup last year
This just isn’t true. It’s USA Canada and then everyone else
I’m not a hockey fan yet I’m sooooo proud of these boys! Representing our country and knowing that they are the face of our great nation! And gave all they have! Respect for the boys and I felt sooo good to see our boys singing our awesome anthem! USA! USA! USA! Beats Rapinoe and the others for sure!
I got choked up watching this group of boys sing their hearts out to the national anthem. That was just common for most of my life until the past 15 years. It is wonderful to see such respect and excitement!
It's still common, just not in the US. I'm Europe, everybody songs their hearts out for their anthems
@@northbreeze0198 It's common in the U.S. especially the Olympics. Only time most people come together tbh
Agreed
@@northbreeze0198that's just not true lol
I love these young men. Pride, but the good kind. Proud of their abilities, proud of one another and so proud to be Americans. I haven't been this happy watching hockey since our boys won it all in 1980! Way to go USA!
Congrats to the US, well deserved win. And yes, I am Swedish. Your team played better than ours, simple as. I dont enjoy the shit flinging from either side. Edit: To add, the only thing that pisses me off as a Swede is when you just down right insult me or my nation, its a hockey game. treat it as such please.
I am from the USA. Not sure what someone may have said about Sweden but I would stand with you brother.
Internet trolls love to start fights. As an average american, i have a lot of respect for you Swedes- on and off the ice
I wonder how many teams in the past went thru the Tourney at 7-0? I found that accomplishment pretty amazing.
The best part was, the Americans played like neighborhood teens having an after-school game, with pizza on the line. 😁
They sang the National Anthem!!!!
USA USA USA 🇺🇸! As a consolation prize Sweden, you still have some of the most beautiful ladies on Earth.
Good video and summary, even though we feel differently about what you're calling "confidence". A confidence held in humility I love; one with a "take that" or "in your face" showboating attitude I do not, even though it has become the norm more than the exception in sports today. But in terms of play I could hardly have been happier with our boys all through the tournament. A great showing for sure! I actually very much enjoyed the whole tourney from start to finish. The only thing I felt was questionable was some of the officiating. Go USA!
They were getting booed the entire game. It would have been superhuman not to crack and give a little back.
@@niclas9990 I understand, and agree that it's hard not to 'retaliate'. Still, I feel it's classy not to respond in like manner but to just remain above it.
Good comment/swede
@@stefandjurachkovitch8624 Thank you. And I loved Stockholm when I visited. Great city!
@@pnutbutrncrackers They're kids. Sweden is embarrassing itself with the salt when their boys were doing the same celebrating on their push to the silver. They just can't handle it when they're losing.
I love how team USA plays fast, skill based hockey. Well deserved champions! it's interesting to see how younger generation is changing the game in good way. I wonder will there be rules against pass-over-the-goal (Zegras to Milano) things for exmaple.... i hope not.
I hope not. I'm a bit fan of the innovation that the next generation is bringing into the game. I think it'll only serve to make our sport more popular, which is what the goal should be! Tough luck for the Finnish lads today though, I thought they played really well until the 3rd period!
@@CunuckHockeyThe United States has been a world power in hockey for some time now, on the world junior and Olympic stage. Our development program is the among the best in the world. Dominating Sweden on their home ice, beating Canada in gold medal games in Saskatoon, Montreal, and Edmonton. A lot has changed since the US shocked the Soviets in 1980, a Soviet team that embarrassed a team of NHL all stars a year prior. The United States is a dominant hockey power, without question.
My Cousin played on this U.S. Squad, I’m so proud of him and this team.
Leonard's goal made me proud to be an American. Just fight through it!
Had no idea you could take a penalty of video after missing the call duaring the game. Specially with a almost identical situation earlier in the game that didnt get called, but you learn new stuff every day. The best team won, no doubt about it.
I think the only reason it was called was because there was already another penalty being called at the end of the play
Yeah I’m wondering why they didn’t review the 4 missed highsticks by Finland in the semis. Also wondering how people believe the refs were helping the US. In both games I watched the refs missed a lot of calls against the US’ opponents, some were egregious.
Fortunate bounce? That was skill like Gretzky off Ellett in 93.
Good Video Let's Go Team USA 🇺🇸
Great hockey, great KZhead coverage/Vlog, Thanks much... Nice not to get mopped up by the Canadians though the Olympics will be freakishly scary. Think about going against (for us American's), McDavid, McKinnon, Makar, Marner, Crosby, etc.
it visually looks like team USA playing in a Fallout vault 😆
So much blonde hair in that audience 😂
Congratulations to the US team, I enjoy hockey and wish I could have seen this game. But either way it’s great for all these young men.
Great work guys.
An American here and I have to say hockey is the greatest sport in the world. Thanks to Canada for inventing it.
So proud of this team,as well as the ones in the past.Singing our anthem should be a call to the other sports that kneel,copy these kids and not the babies....U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A......
They'll have a score to settle for sure.
This WAS the score settled. That was the whole reason that the fight broke out. These guys played each other several times in years past back U16 up to now. Sweden beat them last year and this was the USA’s revenge in the final year for the majority of the team on both sides.
I wish the USA men’s soccer be like that imagine if we play hard and act like we’re the bad guys we might be the dominant team in soccer aka fut’eball.
Gratz on the your 6th gm Team U.S.A.
Gracious comment. If I'm allowed to respond as an American ... thank you! Who was your team?
We Love you'll, such a refreshing thing from the women's soccer, that disgraced our National Anthem and our country.
No Hitting? Where's all the Checking?
Some of the best players on these two teams are Blues prospects! LGB
Capitalized on one of their only chances? Us out shot Sweden, had 3 break aways at that point ... US never trailed,
I was referring to that being one of their only chances till that point of the game, which was at around 17 minutes left in the first. Before that, it was really mostly Sweden. Obviously that changed after the first period, with the US dominating play a lot more.
Swed looked dangerous first 10 but didn't capitalize- no scoring chance.... I can relate- you "game" can be tight but it doesn't mean shit if you don't score.
Fuuuuck don't remind me of our crazy bad statistics. We literally never win. For some reason we just never can win the juniors championship. But than again, the US team was the better team in this final.
USA USA USA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
not very classy by #2.
Lol they silenced nobody 😂😂 just go home congrats to the win enjoy the new year. 👋😘
You're right. The Swedes were too busy booing to have been silent.
And they didn't even get a participation trophy
@@AB-ez4rm don't know if you watched the same game but the Swedish fans cheered on their team the entire game and afterwards as well just as much. They booed the non-calls which every home crowd always does.
Sore losers are bad enough - but being bad winners is the worst. You don't rub the other team's noses in it... or risk getting stitches later on in your career. Those Swedish players will remember all of it, and one of those American players will be laying on the ice holding a knee soon enough.
Waahhhhhhhh
@@eyedeekay143 yes... that's what those Americans will sound like when retribution is handed out.
You must not be a hockey fan, so I'll tell you to sit down and shut up politely. Euro teams get a huge break on penalties, and they hack and whack all game. Didn't you even watch?? The crowd wants to boo and this is what you get. The poor sportsmanship comes from the Swede crowd and the players slashing and crosschecking the whole tourney. Cry me a river then drown in it.
@@IntoTheWildFlyFishing yes, I agree that the officiating is bad and at times a bit favorable to the European teams - but that's no excuse for "basketball" or "football" behavior. Why not just start doing football-like end zone dances after a goal? No - that's not hockey - and I'd say the same about any team guilty of that trash. You lose like men and you win like men. Act like you been there before - even if you haven't. So, with the utmost respect, you sir need to sit down and STFU.
Classy move by the Swedes to send out that ogre for his first shift of the game to get his ass kicked by the smallest guy on the ice.
Looks like the muricans got their asses kicked in the fighting, hockeywize was another thing.
USA got absolutely smashed in the fight, can't really say "kicked ass" when he headlocked him, how embarrasing
@@lucasrydstrom7654well only one got a bloody nose
@@jyotistrandqvist9768 ye you're right, only that snuggeruds mouth was filled with blod lol
@@lucasrydstrom7654 Wait what, you're blind. The Americans bashed the hell out of the Swedes. The American knocked the Swede down, headlocked him, then pummeled his face again after being separated despite being smaller. Imagine starting a fight with a guy whose half your size and still losing, Americans can fight and Swedes can't it seems.
cant wait till my son makes the usa hockey team
“Hopefully alot of booze, we love the booze” - Lane Hutson. Idk bout that; he’s underage! 😬
"We love the boos," said defenceman Lane Hutson. "We want keep giving them something to boo about."
Not in sweden
F.u
Bring back Russia 😐
Maybe when they’re done getting their asses beat by the Ukraine.
The arrogance of their goal celebrations was disgustingly disrespectful. These kids showed just how immature their country is. On the international stage, winning with humility commands respect from the rest of the world. Winning with arrogance like this reinforces the negative stereotype that the USA already has. Show some class for a change USA. Celebrate with your teammates. Leave the crowd out of it… at least on the international stage. 🤦🏻 P.S. Not saying that they didn’t deserve to win the game. Just saying that they don’t deserve the respect that should come with being Champions as a result of that disgusting display after scoring. 🤷🏻♂️
The Swedish crowd was booing and yelling at the American players the entire game. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.
From Minnesota. Specifically, Edina. Look it up. Played there. Went on to Cornell. Played there. I remember all so well when our HS coach (Ikola) remarked that when you lose, you MUST be humble. But when you win, well......, then you have to be EVEN MORE humble. You NEVER grandstand. Ever. Period. You could never understand, you're not from Minnesota.@@neutralsportsfan17
BINGO!
Cry me a river buddy. You'd have hatred for the US no matter how we acted. So many people hiding behind this sort of phony morality today because they can't swallow Americans winning. The exact same celebrating is "passion" or "fun banter" when other countries do it, but when we do it, it's "arrogant" and "cocky". Btw, nothing says class like sending out your goon defender to start a fight with the other team's smallest player after you got spanked 6-2 on home ice lmao
It's entertaining entertainment by kids 😂..✌️😎👍.. don't take it so seriously..👀
I thought you stunned the hockey world, but you do you murica! Intelligence not needed!!! 😂
Soured their own win with their classless acting. They couldn’t silence the crowd though, let’s be honest, the crowd were the real winners there. But yeah, they are kids and not accustomed with the hockey culture of Sweden so they got rattled/shaken by the fans and took it personal, that was clear. In a way you can’t blame them for that. And yes, they absolutely deserved the win in the end. Even if the display was one of the more classless ones I seen in sports, I still get the circumstance: the immaturity and inexperience made them act up because they felt threatened and exposed. They are all just kids, so it is understandable and excusable. Just don’t fool yourself with your fantasy chains, as you are prone to do. It was a deserved win, not a worthy attitude.
You can't be serious. So it's fine for grown adults to boo these kids and classless for the kids to show a little back? Get a grip, Sweden.
The usa boys were far from rattled lol, blowing kisses and hitting cellys was a crux to the hostile crowd as they embarassed the home team 😂😂 get a grip
Damn those US fanboys are hard to take serious with some of they’re claims 😂
@@niclas9990 What do you expect a home crowd to do, soften up buddy
@@spiritboxyxbox no one took yall seriously, I just remember we beat yall in the fight lol
Just wish thay wasent so childish. Americans tend to be too full of themselves in general. But not showing respect after a finals game?
Timmy boy... give it a rest buddy! Team USA would do it over and over again. No apologies here 🇺🇸 Just be better.
It’s frustrating to me that Canadians seem to have a dual superiority/inferiority complex to Americans.
Better luck next time pal
People only cry about this sort of thing when it's the US because they can't swallow watching us win lol
Wronnnnnngggggg when the Canadian boys act like shits people complain as well, some people respect class others enjoy the pathetic celebrations and gloating to each their own I suppose but I prefer respect and class especially when representing your country
What a fn second... nothing better than a Euro crowd? BZZZZZZZZT. Incorrect. Sweden did NOT dominate the first period or the beginning of the game. They had 2 good minutes and a couple chances on the PP.
Sore losers are bad enough - but being bad winners is the worst. You don't rub the other team's noses in it... or risk getting stitches later on in your career. Those Swedish players will remember all of it, and one of those American players will be laying on the ice holding a knee soon enough.
The crowd was booing the whole time 😂 usa just showed that they own the ice now lol, and intentionally injuring a player would sum up swedens role as a coward
This USA team was full of FAFO attitude
