After a fight-filled start to the round robin 4 Nations Face-Off matchup between Team USA and Team Canada on Saturday, American winger Brady Tkachuk explained that his brother Matthew "wanted a piece" of Team Canada's Brandon Hagel. Tkachuk later added that he, Matthew and fellow teammate J.T. Miller, who was also involved in one of the three brawls to start the contest, planned out the fights via text messages in a group chat.
Now with a USA-Canada rematch set for the final, Hagel, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, took a jab at the Americans, saying the Canadians "don't have any group chats" and are "playing for the flag, not the cameras."
