With the political issues that are going on between the United States and Canada right now, it is no wonder that these two teams would have it for one another, and Matthew Tkachuk was pretty outspoken about the Canadian fans booing their National Anthem.
After the Tkachuk brothers confirmed that the fights to begin the game we pre-meditated by a group chat before the game, Brandon Hagel took a small shot at them, saying that Canada doesn't need a group chat to organize passion.
"We had a little discussion earlier in the day," Brady said.
Matthew chimed in by saying, "Tell them the truth,"
Brady added, "There was a group chat going on today. Still something [inaudible].We just reaffirmed we are gonna do that. I think Matthew's fight to start off was such an energy boost.
I was more excited and more nervous than my own and Miller's to cap it off to go against a big guy like that, I think he did a great job. I think it was pretty awesome to us."

This is what Brandon Hagel has to say:
«I did it for the flag, not the cameras, we're out there playing for the flag, not the camera We don't have any group chats going on.»
At the end of the day there may be some bad blood but there will always be respect, even though the two are trying to punch their heads in.
