It's no secret that Canada and the United States don't like each other in hockey. Canada and the United States is one of the best rivalries in hockey.
Heading into Saturday night at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Team Canada and the United States headed into an emotional and exciting atmosphere with a showdown in the 4 Nations Face-Off. For one Ottawa Senators player, it was time to fire up the crowd.
Brady Tkachuk helps fire up crowd in Montreal with early fight
It's no secret that the Tkachuk brothers are two of the most intense players in the NHL. With their fighting attitudes, chirping back-and-forth, Brady and Matthew Tkachuk have made their presence known in the NHL. Just three seconds into the game, both of them made their presence.
Just two seconds into the game, Matthew got into a fight with Canada's Brandon Hagel. Thought the crowd was fired up enough? Think again. Enter Brady.
One second after Matthew's fight, Brady would then drop the gloves and fight Canada's Sam Bennett. Ironically, Brady played against Bennett in the Senators' last game before the 4 Nations Face-Off break.
THIS IS MADNESS 🤯

A third fight then would happen six seconds later between J.T. Miller and Colton Parayko after Brady's fight. Three fights in nine seconds isn't often seen in hockey, but it would happen between Canada and the United States.
Brady made an immediate impression in the United States' first game when he scored two goals, including the United States' first goal of the game this past Thursday against Finland. Now, Brady helped the crowd in Montreal get more fired up with a fight three seconds into the game.
