Matthew Tkachuk doesn't like the Canadians booing the US National Anthem. [View all]

Hey Matthew,

Perhaps they have a couple of valid reasons to be pissed off at the United States or did you not hear about tRump threatening to make them the 51st State or day glow threatening them with a 25% tariff that could put them into a recession?!?

Today the United States is playing the Canadians in the 4 Nations Face Off tournament and for the first time in my long life I will be cheering against the USA.

I don't like what this country has become and I really don't like the direction this country is heading in.

GO CANADA!
