After the crowd at Montreal's Bell Centre loudly booed the United States national anthem ahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off game between Team USA and Team Canada on Saturday night, the tension that was in the arena seemingly spilled out onto the ice, as three fights broke out in the first nine seconds after the puck was dropped.

It appears that the feeling was mutual between Matthew Tkachuk and Brandon Hagel. Immediately following puck drop on Saturday’s 4 Nations Face-Off match between USA and Canada, Tkachuk and Hagel threw their gloves to the ground and sparred with each other. Their fight was the first of three in the opening nine seconds of the match.
