MONTREAL — With so much on the line, Canadian hockey fans erupted in jubilation after another night to remember on Thursday.
Canada – after losing to the United States earlier in the tournament – triumphed over the Americans in the hotly anticipated 4 Nations Face-Off final in Boston.
Canadian pride was off the charts at Peel Pub in downtown Montreal, where rowdy celebrations in the jam-packed bar led to beer glasses smashing all over the floor.Wearing a Canadian hockey jersey and the flag hanging around his shoulders, Ryan Badr said he was thrilled to see Canada take the win. Trump stoked the fire Thursday morning, using that rhetoric yet again in a social media post supporting the American team.
Boston fans booed “O Canada” before the puck dropped Thursday in an apparent response to the recent jeers that have echoed in Canadian NHL arenas, including Saturday’s chaotic Canada-U.S. round-robin matchup at Montreal’s Bell Centre. "It’s always been big, but now, especially because I'm here, and the geopolitical tensions right now, it feels like at the peak,” said Naim Temlock, a former McGill student from Chicago, in Montreal.
In Vancouver, people at a watch party couldn’t contain their excitement, jumping up and down and waving Canadian flags when Nathan MacKinnon scored to put Canada up 1-0.
