The USA hockey team would “love it” if Donald Trump was to attend their grudge match against Canada in Boston on Thursday night. The two nations played out a brutal game in Montreal on Saturday, which saw three fights inside the first nine seconds. Tensions were running high throughout after Canada fans, in front of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, furiously booed “The Star-Spangled Banner” as it played pre-game.
Speaking on Fox News on Monday, the US team’s general manager Bill Guerin spoke out on the chaos. “Canada-U.S. is a huge rivalry in hockey,” he said. “I think there was a little bit of a political flare to it. It’s just the time that we’re in. I think our guys used that as inspiration. If you let it get the better of you, then you’re in trouble. But I really do think the players used it as inspiration.”
