The NHL-run 4 Nations Face-Off tournament is experiencing significant political undertones, especially illustrated by Canadian fans booing the U.S. national anthem at games. The final matchup between the U.S. and Canada, set for TD Garden, is expected to be highly charged, given the teams' previous encounter, which featured physical confrontations. Tensions are further heightened by President Trump's threats regarding tariffs on Canada and his controversial remarks about its sovereignty. While U.S. General Manager Bill Guerin invites Trump to attend the final, opinions on his attendance vary among insiders.
"We would love it if President Trump was in attendance. We have a room full of proud American players and coaches and staff. Listen, we're just trying to represent our country the best way we can."
"It is expected that President Trump will make his way into Boston. He might feel inclined to attend the game to support the national team."
