The intensity between Team USA and Team Canada reached new summits in their latest game and Brady Tkachuk sent a message after the game.
The game was one of the wildest in recent memory by featuring three fights within the first nine seconds.
The stage is set for the matchup between Team Canada vs Team USA for the 4 Nations Face-Off
However, it came at a cost for the Americans since
Matthew Tkachuk left with an injury and his status remains questionable for the final.
the most anticipated rematch will happen in the Four Nations Faceoff Final, but the path wasn't straightforward since Canada needed a regulation win over Finland in their last game and they did just that in a 5-3 win to secure their spot in final.
With the stage now set, we can expect another heated battle between these two hockey powerhouses on the international stage.
The physicality and emotion in their first meeting could be present in the next match especially if Matthew Tkachuk is sidelined.
His absence would be a huge loss for Team USA and a good help for Team Canada.
Meanwhile,
Cale Makar's return to Canada's lineup will be a game-changer for the final since he missed the first meeting against the USA and his presence brings a lot of offensive.
With national pride, bragging rights and tournament glory on the line, this final has all it needs to be a classic between Team Canada and Team USA.
No matter the outcome, this game could go down as one of the best international battles in the recent history of the international tournament.
