Political tensions turned into on ice tensions as USA defeated Canada 3-1 on Saturday at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.
Political tensions between USA and Canada have dominated headlines for weeks. However, tensions ignited on the ice between the two longtime rival nations at the 4 Nations Face-Off at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada on Saturday. The United States defeated Canada 3-1 in an electric showdown which featured a little bit of everything a hockey fan would want to see. After Canadian fans booed the US national anthem, the friction came to a boiling point within seconds of puck drop. American brothers, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk, set the tone by getting into two consecutive fights within the first three seconds of the game starting. It did not stop there.
