Three fights broke out in the first nine seconds of a 4 Nations Face-Off game between the U.S. and Canada Saturday.
At the opening puck drop, Matthew Tkachuk of the U.S. and Canada's Brandon Hagel didn't wait to drop the gloves.
Just two seconds later, Matthew's brother, Brady, went toe-to-toe with Sam Bennett, who is NHL teammates with Matthew with the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.
That wasn't all. After an opening rush into the Canadian zone, a scrap involving just about everyone broke out, and J.T. Miller and Colton Parayko got into a fight of their own.
The penalty boxes filled up, but cooler heads eventually prevailed.
The game was being played in Montreal, so the tensions in the crowd were already high. The "Star-Spangled Banner" was booed loudly despite pleas from the public-address announcer to "respect" both nations' anthems.

Congrats on the Win over Canada USA!
Proof that Canada just isn’t ready yet for U.S. statehood. LOL! The U.S. already has one really goofy state. Hawaii.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this tournament, but so far, it has been much better than a pointless all-star game.
Canada??
That’s actually gay North Dakota
I prefer the all star game along with the skills competition and the old timers game. However, I certainly do not have a problem with a good and hard fought game like this, even with the dumb and ignorant simpletons booing the way that they did.
One year olds have more teeth than a Hockey Player.
I went to the fights the other night and a hockey game broke out.
I agree. That was one of the best games I’ve seen.
The fans in Montreal, Quebec booed the USA anthem. I thought the people in Quebec hated Canada too?
Just read that US beat Canada…eh
At least Canadah had enough stones to boo our anthem. Trumps trolling is working great. Loved the game too. It was real. Way better than the stupid show up and skate around all star games.
Most of Canada hates the French in Quebec.
When I was in Scotia, the people thought the British should have kept going all the way to the Pacific in driving out the French.
Many French were relocated to New Orleans.
Many times I have heard Canadians refer to Quebec as Queerbec.
His was a sordid display of faux Canadian Nationalism whipped up by the liberao government in cahoots with CBC and CTV propaganda about our neighbor to the south, the USA.
Canadians have been subject to CNN broadcasts via the CBC as their dedicated US News CHannel. So Canadians are ignrant about US politics, ill informed, proving themselves to be distinctoy lacking in kindness we shouod have to our SOuthyern Neighbirs, who cloth us, defend our borders, and allow us to give the a 300 dollar trade deficit year after year. SO why are we not thankful?
Two words: The manipulation of Justin Trudeau and his collective of Liberal Fascist prigs.Trudeau is a scion of Klaus Schwab and the NWO, no borders, social engineering and population reduction.. He will stop US expansion by gum, and make us poverty stricken, cowed, and subservient to government , just like the citizenry of Europe , which is now defenselessly facing an Islamic rape crisis.
LAST paragraph in the fox news article:
The U.S. ultimately beat Canada 3-1
Screw fox news.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT FAUX news IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The scumbag Murdoch family hate America Hate Trump and Hate us - they have Lil Paulie Ryno (Willard Romney’s illegitimate son) running their operation. Any questions?
Very rare at the All Star game which this tournament is replacing. The players actually care, been a great tournament.
Proud of the St Louis Blues connection to 3 of these US fighting players. Both the Tkachuk boys are sons of Keith ‘Big Walt’ Tkachuk, Blues left winger (2001-2007) with Colton Parayko being a current Blues Defenseman. Let’s Go Blues!
I went out to fight and a hockey game broke out!
