What would you do if someone boo'd your nation's National Anthem?
Well, Team USA did what many of you just answered and punched them right in the face.
That is how the NHL's 4 Nations Face Off began on Saturday night.
The 51st state, North North Dakota, or Canada as some still refer to it got literally punched in the face to begin the hockey game, and then it happened again and again as Team USA set the tone en route to a 3-1 victory and a spot in the championship game on Thursday.
Just seconds after the opening face-off, the first haymaker was thrown, and the fight had started. Team USA's Matthew Tkachuk and Canada's Brandon Hagel dropped their gloves and it was on with Tkachuk getting the better end of the brawl.
On the ensuing face-off, Matthew's brother Brady Tkachuk and Sam Bennett got into another fight and were sent to the penalty box. As Brady entered the box Matthew Tkachuk was all smiles and celebrating his brother's arrival and you can see his American pride shining through for his brother's effort.
That was not the end of the brawling as just nine seconds into the game, Team USA's J.T. Miller and Colton Parayko went at it after a shot on goal by the U.S. to make that three fights in 9 seconds setting the tone for the game.
The game itself almost became a backdrop but Team USA advancing in that arena was pure cinema. Dylan Larkin scored the go-ahead goal in the second period and Connor Hellebuyck saved 24 shots to lead team USA to the win.
Besides just the fighting this has been viewed by many hockey insiders as one of America's greatest hockey victories. After the National Anthem was disrespected twice, and the Canadian fans ripped Americans in the media all week, Team USA walked into their building, in their biggest market and beat them on the ice in their countries biggest game, after picking a fight with them.
After the game, Las Vegas Knight Jack Eichel said the international battle reminded him of the intensity of a Stanley Cup Finals game and added that this was "one of the most exciting games I have been a part of."
Brady Tkachuk said "I feel like they're a lot of unhappy people here, especially in Montreal, a place that isn't my favorite."
