Team Canada and USA are set to play in the 4 Nations Faceoff Final tomorrow, and USA forward Matthew Tkachuk stirred the pot with some direct shots at Team Canada.
Yesterday, Canadian forward Brandon Hagel chirped the Americans for talking in a group chat and planning fights, and now Tkachuk has responded specifically to that comment.
Team USA's Matthew Tkachuk says Team Canada must not like each other
While defending Team Canada's response to Team USA starting their last game with three fights, Hagel said that Canada is close enough to give everything for their country without pre-planning in group chats.
Tkachuk is responding to that comment directly, saying that Canada must not like each other and even referring to Hagel as a player just enjoying the spotlight.
Maybe their team doesn't like each other then if they don't have group chats. I think that's just a player enjoying his opportunity. I think our team doesn't not care about anything he's saying. There's been a lot of chatter and talk from individuals, but we only care about one thing in this room.

Team Canada and Team USA may drop the gloves again in rematch game
Multiple players have already said that there may be some fireworks again to begin the rematch in the 4 Nations Final. Nathan MacKinnion teased there could be a response, and Drew Doughty said it would be an honour to fight Tkachuk.
The rivalry between these two team is certainly palpable at the moment. Without international hockey for so long, bringing the two best teams back together for a final is what hockey fans have craved.
