The United States has won a heated ice hockey duel against arch-rival Canada at the four-nation tournament. The game was all about the current political tensions of both countries. With the opening bully, US international Matthew Tkachuk and Brandon Hagel immediately delivered a fight. After that, two more fights occurred within the first nine seconds of the game, including Tkachuk’s brother Brady. Both then clapped on the penalty bench.
The ice hockey stars from the USA prevailed 3-1 (1: 1, 1: 0, 1: 0). Connor McDavid put the hosts in the lead, Jake Guentzel with two goals and Dylan Larkin turned the game for the US team. After two victories in the first two games, this is already determined as a finalist. Canada is tied with Sweden and Finland. The last two games and the final take place in Boston. The four-nation tournament will replace the classic all-star weekend of the NHL this year. Many top stars from the world’s best ice hockey league take part.
While Andreas Wellinger in Japan was able to provide a German bright spot in Japan, Pius Paschke was the opposite. The 33-year-old missed the final round as 31 and travels to Trondheim with little confidence to the title fights (February 26 to March 9). Read more about jumping in Sapporo here.
