Tensions between the US and Canada grow as we approach the NHL 4 Nations Face-off Championship. And you know there’s a lot of it, given that the first game literally brought us a fight in just nine seconds.

When the US and Canada were set to play each other in the tournament finale, the intensity of the atmosphere went high and eventually escalated to a story of garbage from Canadians.
I’m mentioning Canada’s left wing Brendon Haregel taking shots with the US Stars Matthew Tokachuk, Brady Tokachuk and JT Mirror In the entire “group chat” comments.
“There’s no group chat,” Hagel said.

These comments have returned to US left wing Matthew Tokachuk, but instead of beating the Tampa Bay Lightning rival (playing for the Florida Panthers), he chose a pure American class to handle this Canada. I’ve come.
“Well, if their teams aren’t in group chat, their teams might not like each other,” Tkachuk said. “It’s a player who enjoys his opportunity. Our team doesn’t care what they say. There was a lot of personal chatter and talk, but in this room I was worried about one thing. I’m doing it.

“There are millions of people who are watching us and supporting us in this country. We are extremely proud to play for them, so that’s what I am. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us.”
clock:
“Maybe their teams don’t like each other if they don’t have group chat… our team doesn’t care what they say.” 👀

We’re getting this whole thing… Canada can’t match us and us outside of it on the ice. It’s rap, people.
