BOOM! Team USA Destroys Canada After Disrespectful Anthem Booing

Tensions between the United States and Canada have been simmering for a while—trade disputes, political jabs, and, let’s be real, Canada trying to act like they’re not the 51st state. But leave it to hockey to bring out the glove and settle things the old-fashioned way: with fists and a final score that screamed U-S-A!

The scene? Montreal. The event? The NHL Nations Face-Off tournament. The vibe? Absolute chaos.

Before the game even started, Canadian fans decided to show their true colors (and not the polite ones we pretend they have) by booing the U.S. national anthem. Yep, an entire arena filled with Tim Hortons-fueled rage tried to drown out the Star-Spangled Banner because… what? They were mad that America is, once again, better at their own sport? Cute.

But don’t worry—Team USA had a response. And it wasn’t a press release.

The second the puck hit the ice, Matthew Tkachuk went full send on Canada’s Brandon Hagel, throwing haymakers like he was trying to knock some common sense into him. Not to be outdone, two more fights erupted immediately after. Welcome to Fight Club, Canada. First rule? Don’t challenge America.

Even Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports had to acknowledge the spectacle, posting:

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Canada may have scored first (aw, good for them!) but America came back with three unanswered goals, finishing them off 3-1. A classic display of humble dominance.

After the game, Zach Werenski confirmed what we all knew:

“We used [the boos] as motivation the best we could and found a way to get a win… Definitely don’t like it, though.”

Of course, this isn’t just about hockey. The real tensions between the U.S. and Canada have been heating up ever since President Donald Trump started treating our northern neighbors like the 51st state—which, honestly, is generous. If we’re being real, Justin Trudeau is basically “Governor Trudeau” at this point.

But don’t worry, Canada—you still have maple syrup, free healthcare, and Ryan Reynolds. We’ll let you keep those.

As for Team USA? They’re heading to the finals in Boston on February 20, and something tells me that crowd won’t be booing the anthem.
