Your Canada-USA game in 10:
1. What an incredible, electric start to this game. Three fights happened in the span of nine seconds of gameplay. First, Brandon Hagel and Matthew Tkachuk squared off. Then, Sam Bennett and Brady Tkachuk. Then, when you thought it was over and we got a few seconds of game action, Colton Parayko and JT Miller squared off. Words can’t do it justice, but thankfully, ESPN posted the full sequence.

It’s worth adding that this is a collection of some of the most elite talent in the league, and this is how the game starts: ultra-emotional and physical.
