The article discusses the heightened emotions between Team USA and Team Canada during their hockey matchup amid recent political tensions, specifically referencing President Trump's comments about Canada. In the 4 Nations Face-Off game, fights erupted shortly after the game began, attributed to the Canadian crowd booing The Star-Spangled Banner. General manager Bill Guerin noted that the longstanding rivalry combined with current politics contributed to the fierce atmosphere of the game. Team USA advanced by winning 3-1, setting up a potential championship rematch against Canada, should they win their next game.
I think a little bit of everything... Canada-U.S. is a huge rivalry in hockey. I think there was a little bit of a political flair to it.
The players use it as inspiration. If you let it get the better of you, then you're in trouble.
