Canada’s Brandon Hagel recounts fight with USA’s Matthew Tkachuk: ‘I did it for the flag, not the cameras’

When Team Usa and Canada meet for a resale in the championship of the 4 nations, do not wait for the intensity to fall. The Canadian striker Brandon Hagel said that the animosity at the beginning of the game was not just for the presentation.

When the Americans and the Canadians met on Saturday night, a 3-1 victory for the United States, There were three fights in the first nine seconds of the game. Hagel left the gloves with Matthew Tkachuk from Team Usa as soon as Puck hit the center’s ice face, and this started a chain reaction.

All of this Ruckus was preceded by the Canadian fans who caused the United States National Hymn during the Prayer Festivities. This led to an atmosphere loaded in the Bell Center, as well as among the players. Hagel is waiting for nothing different on Saturday night because his struggle comes from a sense of national pride.

“I think it will be the same way,” said Heagel. “… listen, what happened the other night, I did it for the flag and not for the cameras.”

After Heagel and Tkachuk went to each other, Brady Tkachuk and Sam Bennett fought against the face. Six more seconds passed without struggle until the JT Miller of Team Usa and the Colon Parayko of Canada exchanged punches in front of the Canadian network.

The “The Star-Pangled Banner” disgusting in Montreal led to the heat in an already controversial rivalry. After Team USA 6-1 victory on Finland on Thursday, Matthew Tkachuk shared his brief thoughts on the mess.

“I didn’t like it, and that’s all I achieved,” said Tkachuk.

If Boston’s North -North -American Fans -Boston’s favor refund the Canadian national anthem, it remains to be seen, but the intensity level of ice will not be in question.
