What the hell did we actually just witness?

We've had booing during anthems at NHL games and other sporting events for weeks leading up to the Four Nations Face-off. One part in a political landscape between the USA and Canada at the moment that has ignited this age old rivalry to a level I haven't seen in years. It all came to a head tonight in Montreal as team USA faced off against team Canada in what was absolute chaos in the opening seconds. Truly a game that will be talked about for decades! This game did not disappoint. We saw 3 scraps in the first 11 seconds as Matthew Tkachuk and Brandon Hagel went at it, then Brady Tkachuk and Sam Bennet followed by a 3rd between JT Miller and Colton Parayko. The Bell Centre erupted after McDavid opened the scoring shortly after in a first period I can't remember anything like. We had massive hits, fast paced hockey and a reminder of what we've been missing for nearly a decade! From start to finish, this was old time hockey and I loved every second of it. I cover it all in todays NHL video!

This is so much better than an all star game

"I went to a Fight and a Hockey game broke out!"

[CioerKieov]

Compared to the official NHL page, this highlight reel is far superior. Hell, neither the battles nor the huge hits were shown. Bro, keep up the fantastic work.

There should never be an allstar game again. This is so much better.

The 1st period was one of the best periods of hockey I’ve ever seen. Super entertaining.

as a Texas/Louisiana kid, hockey is a new horizon for me and i am excited to explore it

[harleymanning]

If I had to show one game of hockey to a non hockey fan, this is it.

This epitomised the game.

We witnessed old school hockey and it was beautiful

[hint]

9 seconds of a hockey game was better than the entire super bowl

[euclideszoto]

[kyledabearsfan]

This. This is what ive been missing. I used to get this kind of excitement over the NFL, but now its just a joke. I need more of THIS.

I have never watched a hockey game in my life. I saw the anthem play and people booing and continued to watch to see how the USA team responded. I was proud of those guys and watched the whole game. I don't understand some of the rules but it was an experience to watch.

[seanmahoney]

This is such a better highlight reel than the official NHL page did. Hell they didn't even show the fights or the big hits. Keep up the good work bro.

[MastinoNapoletano]

This was some old school 90s hockey. I wish they would play like this in the league. I'd watch the NHL again.
