Trudeau wrote to X after the match that he was “prideful” about Canada. However, he also portrayed ock-lol from our fans.

In the NHL, boos were heard during the US national anthem after Trump announced tariffs in Canada. The president also teased Canada about becoming the “51st state.”

“Obviously I know what's going on and understand the frustration of Canadians, but I think we should respect such an anthem and the like,” Doughty said. “I don't think everyone should be booing.”

US defensive Manzak Werensky wasn't grateful for the booing.

“We knew it was going to happen,” Welensky said. “It happened in the last game, it happened in the NHL before this, and we knew it would be the same tonight. We obviously wouldn't like it. .”

The US later won 6-1 ahead of their match against Finland.
