Title: Boston crowd boos Canadian national anthem after Team USA heard same jeers during 4 Nations Face-Off
As the teams took to the ice for the championship game of the 4 Nations Face-Off, a notable trend seemed to emerge in the Bell Centre. The hostile atmosphere that had been building throughout the competition continued as the Boston crowd booed the Canadian national anthem, echoing the same jeers received by Team USA during their previous matchup.
The ill will between the two teams was palpable from the start of Saturday’s game, with gloves dropping immediately when Canada and USA were on the ice together. Matthew Tkachuk went toe to toe with Brandon Hagel, followed by a scrap in the Canadian zone involving J.T. Miller and Colton Parayko.
Despite this animosity, Team Canada managed to put the first goal on the board thanks to NHL star Connor McDavid’s early effort. However, the United States would score three unanswered goals to secure their victory and secure a spot in the championship game.
In response, Canada secured its own win over Finland yesterday, guaranteeing a highly anticipated rematch against the USA for the title.
