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.
