Just days after Canadians in Montreal booed the US national anthem in a four-country showdown, some Americans tried to retaliate in Boston.
On Monday, Team Canada postponed Finland this time with a 5-3 victory at TD Garden. Some fans attended returned jealous Currently singing “O 'Canada.”
In a game where Team USA is not involved, hostility on the ice did not exactly match the hostility of Saturday night's contest. Canadian crowds rained during the US national anthem In Montreal, the Jeers overwhelm the similarities in support of the national anthem.
The Canadian booing could have been born out of the current political climate between the two countries as President Trump threatened tariffs and called for Canada to join the United States as the 51st state.
The Canadian flag daboo appears to have involved the Americans who engaged in three fights in the first 10 seconds of the round robin game, heading for an American 3-1 victory.
“We knew it was going to happen,” US defensive man Zach Welensky said of Montreal's booing. “It happened in the last game, it happened in the NHL before this, and we knew it would be the same tonight. We obviously don't like it. .”
“We had an idea,” he continued. “We found a way to use it as motivation we could and get a win. But we had an idea to get into it, so that wasn't a surprise. But definitely I don't like that.”
The Canadian player was not a fan of the Bell Centre crowd's response to David Glennon, a warrant officer in the production of the Royal Canadian Air Force band “Star Spangld Banner.”
“Obviously I know what's going on and understand the frustration of Canadians, but I think we should respect such an anthem,” said defensive man Drew. Doughty said. “I don't think everyone should boo.”
It appears hostilities are set to be renewed again as Canada has acquired the place in the finale. This time in US soil.
