From the moment the puck fell, a hockey game between the United States and Canada fell into chaos.

Matthew Tkachuk of the United States said: “We need to send a message. “The message we want to send is 'is our time. '”

The confrontational matches of 4 countries were set against the backdrop of uneasy tensions between North American neighbors and long-time allies, and at the Bell Center, many fans booed loudly in the pre-match performance of the U.S. National Anthem at the Bell Center. It all sprinkled on the ice, Tkahuck asked Hagel to throw his gloves while Canada's fourth-tier winger played for two seconds in the battle.

The Americans beat their biggest competitor 3-1.

“That was one of the best experiences of my life, just an incredible hockey game,” said Dylan Larkin. “Tkachuk Brothers and Millsy, it's a start and thanks to those guys Answering the bells and the crowds, this is a wonderful night of our movement, this is a wonderful night of competition.”

It has been shown throughout the U.S. at a staggering pace and physical performance, showing that it can keep up with the NHL’s first international game and keep pace with its best players in nearly a decade.

“What an incredible hockey game,” said American coach Mike Sullivan.

Apparently, the early ideas of the game came from group chats involving Tkachuk Brothers and Miller. Matthew Tkachuk said it had nothing to do with boos from the national anthem. If anything, players feel it adds to the fun of the night.

“I think the atmosphere of playing on this stage in Canada is incredible, and I think it’s cool for all of us,” said Winger Jake Guentzel, who scored twice. “Our team has a lot of excited people coming to the warm-up and just seeing how big it is packed. It's special.”

Canadian coach Jon Cooper called the first minute purely “chaotic”.

“I think there isn't a decade of international hockey in a minute and a half,” Cooper said.

With a 3-1 victory, the United States confirmed their position in the finals of the 4-country match. They will play Sweden in the final billiards game on Monday, while Canada will face Finland.
