Canadian hockey followers booed the “The Star-Spangled Banner” — setting off a brawl-filled recreation that ended with a US win Saturday night time.
The NHL-run worldwide video games held in Montreal might have been mistaken for a boxing occasion — with three fistfights breaking out between American and Canadian gamers following the widespread booing of the US nationwide anthem by over 20,000 indignant followers.
Fisticuffs flew as quickly because the puck dropped — with two different fights breaking out within the seconds following the primary bout.
The animosity comes as President Trump continues his overtures at making the US’ northern neighbor its 51st state.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — dubbed “governor” by Trump — was in attendance on the recreation sporting a jersey along with his nation’s iconic leaf emblem.
The soon-to-be former prime minister posted a video from the sport along with his son with the caption, “True North, strong and free.”
The US would rake the Canadian staff immediately additional time traditional — profitable 3 -1.
