American Reacts to Canada's BEST Hockey Goals 

Saying "I've never sat down and watched hockey before" is like saying to me "I've never had a French fry or glass of milk"

When Crosby scored the golden goal in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics the entire country went crazy coast to coast, people cheering in the streets all across the country!

Number 9 is Tavares VS USA, and its more than one goal in a single game. Canada was behind and went on to win. The net is empty because the US is down by one goal with a minute left. US pulled the goalie out to put in another skater and try to score.

Sid yelling *IGGY!!* and the subsequent pass/goal is still probably my all time favorite hockey moment. Absolute chills and a privilege to watch Sid the Kids entire career. one of the all time greats

Added context to the Crosby goal at the end there. Not only was it the goal that won the gold medal (the most important medal to Canadians BY FAR) but it was on home soil, in Vancouver. The whole city was absolutely electric, never seen anything like it before or since. (Maybe 2011 but dont look into that haha) Also important is that this gold medal set the record for most golds by one nation at a winter olympics, which was especially notable because we came into these games having never won gold on home soil. While that definitely added to the moment, it probably would have been just as crazy in there if this was our only gold, if we’re being honest. Hockey is that important up here. Cheers from Van, love the vids.

1972. That's all I can say. The most exciting hockey series ever.

2010 Olympics gold medal winning goal is my all time favourite. Being in Vancouver at the time during the games was so awesome. Will never forget it. ❤❤❤

The ground shook when Syd scored that goal in 2010

2014 Women's gold medal game was epic. That's why we call Marie Philip Poulin "Captain Clutch". Also in that game, team captain Hayley Wickenheiser skated half the game with a fractured foot.

“I’ve heard of Crosby. I think he’s good”…….lol 😂 🤦‍♀️

The Tavares clip was not that he scored on an empty net, it's because he got a hat trick, 3 goals in 1 game by a single player.

Paul Henderson's goal in 1972 was the best and most important goal ever scored.

When your team is down by one goal and it is near the end of the game, teams often pull their goalie so that they can have another player on the ice to try to score a goal to tie up the game.

The USA/Canada women's games are always great.

Canada vs USA women’s hockey…is the biggest rivalry in sports! The 1972 Canada vs USSR …is the series you need to react to!

Ask any older Canadian and by far the biggest goal ever scored was Paul Henderson winning the Summit Series against Russia in 1972. That was the first series involving NHL players instead of amateur players.

Crosby's golden goal was so number one because Vancouver was holding the Olympics, so it was a home game. Canada winning the gold, in overtime, against the US, in Canada. It was a Hollywood movie moment. There is a great video of Canadians across Canada reacting to the goal, in the streets, in the bars and pubs and watch parties. The whole country was watching this game and goal.

No intermissions with dancing girls. Nobody standing around scratching their crotches. All action from start to finish. That's hockey.

World juniors is an international competition of best on best players from 10 contries that happens every year, only lasts about 2 weeks

I named my border collie puppy Crosby in 2010. And we lived in Sidney, BC at the time. He truly was a Sidney Crosby. 😁

When Crosby scored that goal, Vancouver went crazy. We could hear the crowd in the stadium screaming from miles away.

I am a Canadian that typically cares nothing about hockey aside from attending a few games as a teen, but did watch the 2010 gold medal game on tv and I screamed and cried. That game was legendary.

Vancouverite here! During 2010, everyone was either at home, at a bar, at the game, watching the game outdoors live in a watch party, or at someone's house for the hockey men's gold medal game. For me, I was at my aunt's house in a quiet neighbourhood in a neighbouring city. Right when the golden goal happened, I kid you not, the entire neighbourhood erupted with cheers down the street. If you opened the door, you heard the screaming from everyone down the road. The drive home, everyone was honking, running around with flags, and still euphoric from what they just witnessed. Almost 15 years later, this video popped up on my feed and I can still feel the chills down my spine when Crosby scored that goal: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fu8qTlzuGto.html

Tyler you knuckle head! If a team is down at the end of a game, they can add an extra skater (non-goalie) by "pulling the goalie". Goalie goes to the bench and an extra attacker goes on in his place. This gives the team that is down by a goal or two 6 skaters against 5, giving them better control of the puck in the other teams end. This is almost always done when there is a face off in the other teams end as it could easily turn into a disaster if they do it when play starts in their end!

Tyler trying to use hockey lingo is the most hilarious thing ever 😅😅

The 1972 Canada vs USSR summit series defines hockey brilliance! I’ve watched it so many times and still get tears in my eyes when I hear “Henderson”!

The "World Juniors" are formally called the IIHF World Junior Championship. Traditionally played in late December/early January, it is a tournament comprised of the best under-20 year old players in the world. Canada has won Gold a total of 20 times, while Russia has 13 Golds and the USA has 6.

Before watching this, every Canadian will say "Paul Henderson better be #1"

Ah, hockey. The unofficial national religion of Canada... You should look at the best moments from the Canadian Football League next

Tavares scored 3 goals in that game to win it for Canada. 1 clip for each goal. The US goalie was pulled so the Americans could have an extra player on the ice.

1) Henderson-72 2) Mario-Canada Cup 87 3) Sid-Olympics!

From '96 to '98 Fox sports had broadcast rights to the NHL and introduced a glowing puck to help Americans spot the puck. We Canadians laughed at it, but Tyler might have been the target audience.

Number 3 is just insane. I'll never forget it. 5-4 Russia with 20 seconds to go, Canadian puck pressure keeps it in the zone, Tavares dumps it towards the net with 8 seconds to go, we get the bounce and Eberle finds the loose puck and pots it in. Amazing moment in all our lives up in the Great White North. Also, Pierre Maguire's 'magical play' is a meme and hilarious.

As a Canadian I approve of this channel. 🍁

Okay, as a major hockey fan (of team Canada) your incredibly blind reactions are absolutely golden to me lol 😂 the attempts at pronouncing the players names absolutely sent me!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I never get tired of hearing Pierre McGuire describe Eberle's goal as "Tavares' magical play." What a bonehead. lol

I’ll never forget that Crosby goal. I didn’t get to see it because I was working at the time but I heard people cheering , singing O Canada and waving their Canadian flags around. It was incredible!

In hockey when you are down late you can pull the goalie and have another player on the ice. You can do it any time i suppose but the only time they might do it other than the third period is if there is like 2 seconds left in the first or second and also on what is known as a delayed penalty, because when the other team takes a penalty and doesnt have possession. when they get it is when the penalty starts so there is no risk of the other team scoring unless there is an own goal which does sometimes happen.

I found it so funny that I watched this whole video on 2 X speed and still never lost track of the puck, while he had to replay it a few times to see it. Great video, loved every second of it 😊

"I think I've heard of Crosby." I'm sorry, qu'est-ce-que le fuck?!

My family has always been hockey obsessed. My brother is an NHL scout and even has a Stanley Cup ring!

People alway forget the women in 2010 winning gold for the third time in a row . Which made the mens game just that bit more

Us Canadians live for hockey! Best sport ever🎉

The americans pulled their goalie so they could have an extra attacker on the ice. Usually reserved for the last minute when you're down one goal

That 2014 Women's Gold Medal game is still the best hockey game I've ever watched, even though it didn't finish until somewhere around 2:30am eastern, but Crosby in 2010 is definitely the biggest individual goal in the time frame that video covers. For going older than the video covers: 2002 Men's Olympic Gold Medal game - any of them really, but the one that sticks most in my mind is the last one by Joe Sakic that made it 5-2. Wiped out any nervousness about the US coming back in the game. 2002 Women's Olympic Gold Medal game - Wickenheiser for the 2-1 goal (Notably the first Olympic Gold for Canada's men's team in 50 years, and the first for the women's team ever) 1987 Canada Cup - Gretzky to Lemieux for the game winner in the 3rd game in the best of 3 finals. The best all-around player ever to play to the best goal scorer ever to play. 72 Summit Series - Paul Henderson game winning goals in Games 6, 7 and 8. The game 8 winner is the biggest of the three (easily), but the game 7 goal was the better goal.

I can't believe they didn't show Paul Henderson's goal against Russia in 1972. I thought for sure it would be number 1. The whole country went nuts.

That last Crosby goal was in Vancouver. It put us in 1st place for gold metals at home. The whole city roared.

This was such a great reaction! You have a good eye for hockey and really appreciated the skill in these clips. Hope to see more hockey related content, I think you’d really enjoy it!!!

I wish you read the comments Tyler. You can say anything to him and he'd never see it

The Crosby Gold ripped the roof off of our Costco from the cheering!!!!!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

World Juniors happens every year during Christmas break. It's a huge tournament for a large amount of players from a variety of Major Junior leagues (WHL, OHL, QMJHL, EHL, etc). It also plays a huge role in NHL draft picks. Some of the players I've seen are as young as 15. It's a huge deal.

@6:40 The empty net rule is used to allow a team to put an extra attacker on the ice. So instead of 5 attackers, they'll have 6. It generally gets used close to the end of the game when one team is down by 1 goal, in an attempt to tie the game to force over-time play. This does, however, leave the team vunerably to having an easy goal scored on them because of the lack of a goalie.

I have a feeling I know what goal is going to be number 1. Goal medal 2010 Olympics. The crowd from that goal registered on seismometers.

Sometimes they take out he goalie to put another player on to help make a score

I appreciate you trying a video like this, and some of those hockey player names are tough! 😅

#1 brings me back. I went to Vancouver with my mom and step-dad, and we watched that gold medal game in comfort on a 100-in projector that one of my step-dad's friends had in his apartment. To this day, I still think it was the next best thing, if not better than being there.

It’s not best goals, it’s the most important/nice goals in Canada’s international competition

Canada my country

The John Tavares part consisted of 3 goals (a hat trick). He was quintessential in team Canada's comeback during that game. Since they were trailing, Team USA pulled their goalie for an extra skater, that's why there's no goalie

For starters, in the very first one, Jamie Benn was in front of the net, tipped the shot in from 'the point'. You have seemed to miss that. The shot was probably traveling at 85-90 miles per hour. Thanks for this.

The World Juniors is an annual international tournament that starts on Boxing Day. The level of hockey is just below the NHL and a great place to see future stars in action.

So funny to watch you man keep it up

Any Canadian who was invested/interested in that game (which was a lot of people) remembers where they were when Crosby scored the Golden Goal. I had to work at a drug store in the mall that day and couldn't actually watch the game, but shoppers and employees all over the mall were watching it if there was a TV within eye shot. No word of a lie, the ENTIRE mall errupted in joy when the goal was scored. "WE WON!!" could be heard from one end of the mall to the other. And that's how I found out we won the gold 😄 I'll never forget it.

Martin Brodeur is a Canadian from Montreal and possibly one of the best if not the most unique goalie in the history of the sport. Holding dozens of records such as most time on ice most goals by a goalie most shut outs most wins most goals saved etc. Should do a video on him. Guy used a hybrid style of goaltending. Also brought home 2 gold medals for canada out of 4 winter Olympic hockey seasons. Would have been 5 but with the devils making it into the play offs that year he was playong and wont the stanley cup instead of playing for canada for another potential gold medal. Not to mention the NHL literally changed the rules of the sport because of this goalie calling the new rule the Brodeur Rule after him.

You seem like such a nice guy. I dub you an honorary Canadian. Thanks for the vids, even though I’m Canadian, I always learn something new 🤭

I love the Paul Kariya goal in the olympics 2002 (Lemiuex fake shot).

Your reaction is the best. You make my day pleasant .😂🇨🇦

One thing to keep in mind for some of these clips, they happened in FINALS during OT for the OLYMPICS ... it's quite literally PEAK hockey, scoring is REALLY hard at that level, that's why the plays might not be as "flashy" as other compilations, both teams are EXTREMELY focused and there's ZERO margin for error.

The Tyler gets into the hockey content, his Canadian subscribers will skyrocket. Mark my words

I can still remember when he scored, I grabbed 2 beers from the bathtub cooler we had going in our friend’s apartment in Van. Shot gunned em and then we went downtown, people chanting on the skytrain ‘14 gold’ after winning our last medal, people singing O Canada, chanting in the streets, American fans in their Jerseys politely giving their congratulations (so they didn’t get mobbed). Probably the funnest day of my life

I caught your reactions to Canada's best goals. I applaud you for recognizing and keeping up with the speed of the game. One situation was when John Tavares shot multiple times, this can happen after the first three shooters have gone. The only time this happened up to this point. Then your questioning where the goalie was? Common strategy to pull your goalie for an extra attacker when you are behind by a goal near the end of the game. They had goals from women's hockey. In women's hockey Canada & USA are the top two teams in the world. Almost always they play each other in the Gold/Final game and they are very equal in wins! The #1 goal when Sydney Crosby scored it happened so fast that for a couple seconds Sydney was the only one who knew the puck was in the net! These particular Olympic Games were help in British Columbia Canada, we hosted the Winter Olympics that year. You did very well, thanks for the Reactions! Oh yes the USA Men have come on stronger more recently in Hockey. I think that can be thanks to The "Miracle on Ice" from 1980 when a team of relative unknowns beat the Russians in the Final to win the Olympic gold medal. The USA hosted the Olympics that year.

I’ve never skipped a video so fast 😆

A shootout is a tie-breaking procedure used in ice hockey games when regulation time and overtime periods have ended and both teams are still tied. When a hockey game goes to a shootout, each team chooses 3 players who’ll take turns attempting penalty shots. The objective is simple: score more goals than your opponent during these attempts. The shootout continues until there’s a clear winner. If both teams remain tied after their initial 3 shots, additional rounds are played using a sudden-death format, where each team sends out 1 shooter at a time until a team scores. Shootouts provide an intense finale for fans, who watch individual skill battles between shooters trying to deceive goalies with dekes or quick shots. The goaltenders attempt to read their opponent’s moves and make exciting saves.

For all the people asking why the 1972 goal was not on here... The video he used was "Current Team Canada goals." He didn't make the distinction because he doesn't know nor does he care.

Just today, I remembered the song, "I've Got Canada In My Pocket," which my schools sang during assembly every so often. It's a song that goes over the symbols on Canadian coins and how they relate to Canada. Not sure if it's something you'd be interested in, but it's quite a catchy song, in my opinion. (It's an older song, too, so it also has the Canadian penny.)

#6 - Europe was also on a "power play" - Canada incurred a penalty, sending a player to the penalty box for a time. Canada was thus "short-handed" during that goal.

Lol came across your videos the other day, love the perspective you share. Curious where in the US you’re from? Loved the Vancouver videos!

I remember the 2010's Olympics like it was yesterday. A few movie theatres changed their movie schedule so we can watch the game instead. The celebration was insane in the room. Such great memories :)

This was still the Junior Hockey that we watched and it was about the hat trick which is 3 goals made by one person. So this was part of the one we saw prior. The USA coach decided to pull the goalie and this is why it looked like an easy goal. I like how you said "It was from downtown." Love it. Hockey Junior and other wise is big in Canada.

I remember Bobby Hull clocked slap shots at 60mph. That was in the days when only the goalie wore a mask. There's a reason they now wear headgear. Get in the way of a puck at that speed and your brains are pretty much mush.

#1 was one of the most unifying moments in Canadian history. Sidney Crosby was touted as the next Wayne Gretzky when he was drafted in 2005 and he was like 23 years old in this game. Jarome Iginla is regarded as one of the top well rounded Canadian players ever and is definitely one of the most respected players ever and was at the tail end of his career. Crosby shouts out "Iggy" and to have Iginla pass the puck to Crosby while enduring a hit and falling to the ice to have Crosby take that puck and drive the net to score was a literal handing of the torch to this young up and coming Canadian superstar. This play symbolized both of these incredible players defining characteristics on the worlds greatest hockey stage in the most intense moment possible. Put all of this together and this goal was all any Canadian could talk about for a week. Decades long provincial rivalries were non-existent for that week. Albertans cheered, high-fived with Quebecers and millions of people across every creed in Canada sang O Canada in unison when the medal was awarded. Many many Canadians still get chills (myself included) when they see this clip to this day because of its significance. I don't think this moment will ever be replicated.

As soon as you said " I cant keep track of the puck!" I started to literally lol. A few decades ago,American broadcast stations felt it necessary to put a little blue highlighter on the puck. It was hilarious! Not just for NHL games but world games as well. The uproar of laughter was huge. No, they didn't keep using it for long. There are plenty of hockey fans in the US. They didn't need those networks embarrassing them. It quietly dissapeared. Go Habs!

Like a lot of things, sports generally have a dedicated audience in Canada. Except when the olympics is on, then most of the country is watching. I know that the 2010 Vancouver Olympics had the most people watching it. I love watching sports of all kinds. Your videos make me feel so nostalgic and proud. Thank you.

Tyler you are obviously a natural hockey fan! You should check out the NHL playoffs happening right now. And that #1 goal in 2010 was played in Vancouver Canada. It was fun to watch you watch hockey! Thanks!

Whenever Tyler talks about hockey it's clear that he speaks American. He says : "ice skates" "ice hockey" hockey "match" He says "college" for university and Verse instead of Versus. Also, because he's not a hockey fan, he's unaware of the existence and enthusiasm of the American hockey fans. Lots of Americans love hockey, supporting 25 American NHL teams in the USA. 7 NHL teams are in Canada. Hockey match 😅 The goal was right off the tip of his pinkietoe 😊

The 2009 World Juniors were *amazing:* two comeback wins and our 5th consecutive gold medal. Crosby's 2010 "Golden Goal" had the *entire country* cheering.

I love your video so much❤😊

The hand/eye coordination and reaction time on hockey players is crazy. So many goals are generated from deflections on shots/passes.

Yes, you are absolutely missing something! Empty net..USA pulled the goalie and added an extra player. When that score happened you could hear every canadian in the country shout with pride!

The 2010 Olympics in Vancouver had the USA vs Canada in BOTH the women's and men's gold medal games and Canada won BOTH in overtime. I watched that game with a coworker at a restaurant in a very large mall. When Canada scored, the restaurant went completely nuts and we could hear people all over the rest of the mall doing the same. When someone started singing Oh Canada, the whole mall full of people (my guess would be several hundred) joined in and I was told it was loud enough to be heard outside. The USA vs Canada in both men's and women's hockey also happened in 2002 in Saly Lake City and Canada won both that year as well (the Canadian women's team played almost a full 20 min period short handed due to some really bad refereeing but STILL managed to win!)

The 2010 Olympics were in Vancouver Canada and it was really a magical time for Canadians. I would highly recommend looking at clips of those Olympics or of the men’s hockey Olympic final. Beautiful moment!

Once every few years I rewatch reaction videos from across Canada to Crosby's 2010 winner. Whether it was right there in VAN, or CGY, EDM, WPG, MTL... coast to coast... pure jubilation!

as a Canadian, I still get goosebumps every time watch the golden goal.

When Sydney Crosby ,from right here in Nova Scotia ,got that goal ,the whole country was literally dancing in the streets all over the country ! I’m not a big hockey fan but I love the Olympics,I did jump all over the living room until I was exhausted 😂😂😂😂

#6: Brad Marchand's World Cup winner was also "short-handed" meaning one of Canada's players was in the penalty box. "Power play" on the clock means that team has the usual 5 attackers but the other team only has 4 because one guy had to take a time out for being naughty. Also known as "a man advantage", it's a big opportunity for the team at full strength so when the short-handed team scores, it's a huge deal.

The IIHF World Junior Championship, sometimes referred to as World Juniors, is an annual event organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation for national under-20 ice hockey teams from around the world. It is traditionally held in late December, ending in early January.

2010 Vancouver men's hockey gold was insane. I didn't live in BC, and I genuinely don't cRe about hockey, but the news was reporting that you could *hear* the screams and cheering erupt from like... a *distance* it was wild.

so the rule is 6 players can be on the ice at a time, so if one team is loosing they can choose to sub in their goalie for an extra player in a desperate attempt to gain back a lead.

I don’t like watching sports but when I was around 15 years old, my BFF took me to a hockey game to see the Canucks. I’d never seen a game on TV but had played field hockey & indoor hockey at school. I never knew where the puck was because of the speed. I spent the entire time deafened & confused. Never again. 😂

These are some great goals - especially Crosby's Golden Goal, which set off pandemonium across Canada: not only did we win the Gold Medal in hockey, it was the first time in Canadian history we'd scored more gold medals in an Olympics than anyone else (narrowly edging out the USA) But there are some incredible goals out there on RU-vid, just not all in a nice package like this one. Paul Henderson's 1972 game-winner over the Soviet Union to win the Summit Series. Mario Lemieux's overtime winner against the Soviets in the 1987. Lanny McDonald's final goal, in Montreal as the Flames defeated the Canadiens to become the first visiting team to EVER defeat the Canadiens on home ice in a Stanley Cup Final. It's a rich history, Tyler.
