Julia: Canada and Russia had a bench brawl in the 80s Corwin: ok boomer

You guys heard wrong. She didn’t say “America, congrats on your shootout,” she said “congrats on your shutout.”

Team Japan and Korea. Best rivalry ever in hockey

I feel like Julia was once dumped by an American and has yet to come to terms with it.

THIS ARGUMENT AGED WELL....USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

Lol, Julia’s dad got her into hockey by talking to her about the 1987 brawl, my daughter gets into hockey because of Bardown and Steve Dangle videos. What a difference a generation makes.

that "shootout" win is looking real nice right now for USA

It’s simple... team Austria any day of the week

whos hear after the USA vs Canada game? 😔💔

She can't say this one didn't count 😂🇺🇸

So Julia, wanna talk about it? 👀🇺🇸🥇

“Shouldn’t, wont be concerned this year” Cole Caufield: hold my beer

Watching this after the US beat CAN for the fourth time in four Gold Medal meetings..... Yikes

As an American, US fans would always pick Canada for a team to beat in the Gold Medal Game.

If you asked the Canadian Junior players, "who would you rather beat, Russia or the US?" They would unanimously tell you, the US. Canadian kids (and adults) love to beat on the country they are closest to and most often linked to. Every Canadian I know (and I grew up in Calgary) hates to be thought of as "just like Americans." Hates it, and rightfully so. So they fight that "little brother" status with all their might. Some to the point of hate (I once had a job when I was in high school where a guy would not work with me when he found out I was American. That attitude, of course, is the exception, I loved growing up there). Also, to some extent, familiarity breeds contempt. That only works one way, though, because though most Canadians know a lot about the US, most Americans don't know diddly about Canada, and for the most part, they don't care. That attitude (fair or not) is insulting to many Canadians. Now Canada has always been THE hockey country in the world. Canadians for the most part, love hockey. Many of them identify with it. They consider it "their sport." So, beating the US in anything is always nice, but it is essential for hockey. Thus, the rivalry and it works both ways. Because Canada is considered the home of hockey, the US wants to beat Canada more than any other country. That and the fact that Canadians are particularly arrogant when it comes to "their" sport. That may or may not be the player's perception, but it is the Canadian media's perception. I've heard it said many times that Canadians are usually considered the nicest people in the world, and I would agree.....except when it comes to hockey. Canada's #1 rival is the US and vice versa.

The idea that Finland are Canada's 'rivals' is laughable, not because Finland aren't a better test than Russia or America, but because there's absolutely no animosity between the countries. A rivalry isn't about talent, if that were the case, every year the WJC final would be a 'rivalry' game.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Bardown, best present is quiz soon

Also, Julia in a way got her wish - the shootout has been abolished in the gold medal game, but not any other game of the tournament (you can understand why, though... with multiple games in one arena on a given day, do you really want multiple OTs happening with another game still to be played on the same ice?)

Here after U.S.A beat Canada for gold medal button!

here after Canada lost to the US in the WJC Final

There was also a line brawl involving the American bench in a New Year’s Eve game

I’m American and I found this hilarious 🤣

we can all agree that if team Jamaica was a team, they would be the best.

To be honest, Finland has been our toughest competition lately

USA vs Canada is always going to be fun

You heard it here first, if the USA beat Canada at anytime, it doesnt count

Answer is Finland.

All time - the Soviets / Russia. Most gold medals and gold medal meetings. Right now - I'd argue it's Finland. Here are the last 7 Canada-Finland matchups... - 2012 Bronze - Canada 4-0 - 2014 Semifinal - Finland 5-1 - 2015 Preliminary - Canada 4-1 - 2016 Quarterfinal - Finland 6-5 - 2018 Preliminary - Canada 4-2 - 2019 Quarterfinal - Finland 2-1 OT - 2020 Semifinal - Canada 5-0 They've gone back and forth beating each other. Also, other than that bronze medal game, whoever won Canada vs Finland won gold. - 2021 Preliminary - ???

Once again, Finland is underrated. They have won as many championships as Canada in the 2010s.

Hey Julia congrats on your silver!

As the Canadian hockey fan I would say it's pretty close between the US and Russia for biggest rival but I think honourable mention should go to Finland and Sweden and how they grown their programs they are no longer pushovers and I think they are threats for any of the metals every year

Canada's biggest rivalry is definitely Kazakhstan

FINLAND and RUSSIA

Yo DZ I saw u on sports centre today. Amazing job!

Thanks DZ

Finland is best u20 hockey team from the past 10 years.

Corwin sounds like a 13 year old calgary fan.

Afraid pffffffft, bro we can literally ice a line with McDavid, Crosby and MacKinnon and Our World Junior squad is STACKED!

Happy holidays🎅🏻

2:28: Me hearing that after USA upsets Canada one week later💪🏽

Unreal flow

As a U.S.A. fan... Canada is our biggest rival so I'm hoping its the same for Canadiens or else its pretty awkward.

YAY!! A Bardown video on my birthday!!

It's over for Canada. Canada is at a steady pace. USA is rising up and up and up.

I think Finland

Just like how Thunder Bay doesn’t count as a real city in Canada...

Hmmmmm does this win count cause I’m pretty sure we could’ve played another 3 periods and shut y’all out again.

Sweden aren’t really Canada’s rivals but they’ve been doing quite good in the past few years

Do a 3rd goal horns quiz. IM looking at you DZ

Finland currently But Russia has been for the longest time

Just wanna say that as a long time fan it was really awesome to see Z behind the desk on sportscentre this morning, so happy for you bud, you killed it! Keep it going! Also gotta agree the Russian rivalry has much more bad blood, that 5-3 still haunts me

watching this the day of the gold medal game...

I know how Corwin feels, being a 10 year watching USA score that OT game winner in my hometown made my heart drop.

Imagine that teams like Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Philippines play in the LOWEST of IIHF divisions. I would love to see one of those teams play Team Canada!

Hey uhh Julia congrats on your silver haha USA USA USA

Finland

Both Russia and USA have great young upcoming players and are becoming better international teams, but I feel like USAs growth is at an exponential level and I'm Canadian

Where are the quizzes big man??

Can we get a new quiz soon?

Take a shot for every time Julia says “shootout”.

if i was a canadian/american or russian i would be embarrassed every time i lost o finland or sweden. They're such small countries there isn't any excuses. and I'm not shitting on fin/swe, it shows how amazing those two are in hockey being so small countries

Make it 4 golds in a row over Canada, but ur right Julia there is no rivalry... Since it's so one sided lol! I'm just playing though gg to Canada, home to all my favorite NHL teams!

Absolute disrespect to Sean Couturier for not having him in the potential USA roster

Why was this none sense published

Anyone remember that Seattle Space Cadets Series? 😞

FINLAND

Watch Finland win it again this year

Finland has been the biggest competition to Canada but I would say Russia would be the biggest rival for Canada

I would say Russia because of all the drama & upsets that happen in their games. Last years gold medal game canada was down by 2 with 10 minutes left & & scored 3 unanswered to win. In 2011 canada was up 3-0 & absoloutly blew it. In 2015 canada almost blew a 5-1 lead (i think) & in 2012 russia almost blew a 6-1 lead in the semis. Dont forget about the bronze match in 2013 when russia taunted canadas bench when they won in overtime. You just dont see that in games vs the USA

Julia clearly isn’t aware of when the Soviet Union team played against the Broad Street Bullies and both teams basically just beat the *lights* out of each other the entire time(it was a very politically charged event) with Philly eventually winning both the game and the fight.

Canada had to play like that back in the day to slow down and compete with USSR. USA and Canada play hockey today. 🇺🇸 🥇🏆 enjoy your shutout.

Denmark just waiting to get revenge one day...

It used to be russia. But they havnt been nearly as competitive in the past decade. These days its the States.

You did good on Sportscentre last night DZ!

Hey dz I saw you on sports centre 😀

The way I look at is the US is the rival that Canada created. Russia on the other hand is our natural rival. I feel more of a sting when Canada loses to the Russians then when Canada loses to the US.

well julia’s take didn’t age well

Russia, even though I hate losing to the US more.

Corwin is right, but I think one of the biggest reasons for that is geographic location

Deep down inside we all know its Italy, with their Senior team in top division and their U20 playing in Division II A, playing against spain and romania

now it is 4 straight gold medal game wins for the states

Julia is eating those words right now

Bigger question is "Who is Russia's biggest Rival?". Canada, USA, Czech Republic or Finland?

You guys were right to be concerned. See you guys next time, maybe even at the Olympics! Hey Julia, they warned you.

I like how the states beat Canada just after this video.

Respect for Julia went 📉

You should do best goalie performance in wjc history

We in their heads

RIP Kirby Dach

I’m going with Russia because their team is gonna be lethal this year and it will be a good rematch. I am also a young fan but I still think Russia

Potential 2022 Olympic us team is STACKED

For real, it's Russia: Corwin's biggest point is that Russia hasn't won the tournament in 10 years, USA has. America has won once after Russia's last win, and has made the finals I believe twice more in that decade span. Hockey isn't the same anymore where Canada just dominates, if you get to the final, you have a shot at gold. Not to mention, only one of the US teams gold came against Canada in the finals in the last decade, but guess who Canada has played in the final three times in the same span? Russia

Julia: It shouldn’t count US Team: And we took that personally.

“no concerns”:dach is out

Congrats on your SHUTOUT!!!

Yes Julia and wjrn Russia wads so dominant WAY back when they beat a Canafiam all star team. Who came through with the biggest hockey win EVER? AND Were basically junior players playing a Pro Russian team? USA

Congrats on your shootout! So Toews' shootout performance in 07 doesn't count and we can take that gold medal away from Canada?

Julia is correct. USA has come on the scene and is a new rival. The Canadian Russian rivalry is historic

Russia almost beat Canada yesterday but Canada won 1-0

CAN U BELIEVE IT? I can!
