USA-Canada 3 fights in 9 seconds after US anthem booed 2/15/25

USA and Canada fight 3 times in the first 9 seconds after the Star Spanged Banner is booed loudly in Montreal on February 15, 2025. Matthew Tkachuk vs Brandon Hagel, Brady Tkachuk vs Sam Bennett, and J.T. Miller vs Colton Parayko.

I hate it when you're trying to watch boxing and a hockey game breaks out.

As an Australian, I never knew fighting was a tradition in ice hockey. Seeing the refs allow it for a while and surround them like it’s a boxing match is fascinating.

[MrStensnask]

I like how the hockey commentary just seamlessly goes into boxing commentary

[J.Dome.A]

That fight was more invigorating, intense, interesting, and convincing than the whole, entirety of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight.

[mitchellobenchain]

That was the "i went to a fight and a hockey game broke out" kinda night.

[IdkSomethingswrong]

As a non hockey fan this has to be the most entertaining start to a game I’ve ever seen

[Sydneysideliner]

We're edging closer and closer to the plot of South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut

2:00 Why are the referees acting like they refereeing an actual boxing match 😭

[johnr]

From the booing of the National Anthem to the 3 fights to the Tkachuk brothers high fiving in the penalty box. Might be the greatest opening to a meaningful hockey game i’ve ever seen.

[CarlAquaForce]

I haven't watched pro sports in 30 years but hockey is now back on the menu 😂

[ReaperoftheWar]

Holy fuck. That was the greatest start to any game I've ever seen.

[rusva]

This is what THE FUCK I wanna see when I watch hockey, dammit!

[brianh.conrad]

The gentleman singing did a fabulous job on both national anthems

[Joe-eyfg]

I went to a ufc fight and a hockey game broke out.

[devbrew]

Man I might have to start watching hockey. Screw baseball. This will help my football depression

[tommyhunter]

They did the sport and their countries proud. That’s how you do it. Settle it like men! Love it.

[Reach_O_Grab]

I thought VP Vance was invited here to perform National Anthem😁

[Shatamx]

Yo real talk that dude can sing. Great version of our national anthem!

[larrybrown]

Wow what a show! Craziest start to a game ever. Such intensity and seeing how seriously the players are taking these games and this tournament is amazing. The NHL has stumbled upon an absolute gem. This is great for hockey!

This is exactly why my uncle said he became a hockey fan growing up in pennsylvania and i can see why because seeing stuff like this is awesome and entertaining. Hell like him this is exactly why i became a hockey fan too. 😁💯
