  • Justin Trudeau says he’s ‘damn proud’ of Canada as fans boo US national anthem, faces online ridicule

    Justin Trudeau says he’s ‘damn proud’ of Canada as fans boo US national anthem, faces online ridicule

    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced ridicule on social media on Saturday night following the Canadians’ loss to the U.S. in a 4 Nations Face-Off game.

    Canadians were heard booing the American national anthem before the game. As the puck dropped, so did the players’ gloves. There were three fights in the first nine seconds of the game. The U.S. pulled out a 3-1 victory in the end.

    Trudeau wrote on X after the game that he was “damn proud” of Canada. But he drew some mocking from U.S. fans as well.

    In the NHL, boos have been heard during the U.S. national anthem after Trump announced tariffs on Canada, which have since been paused. The president has also teased about Canada becoming the “51st state.”

    Players have been adamant about fans stopping the boos. Canadian Drew Doughty talked about it again before the game against the U.S.

    49ERS’ GEORGE KITTLE GETS LAST WORD AS US TOPS CANADA IN 4 NATIONS MATCH AFTER BOOS DURING ANTHEM

    “Obviously, I know what’s going on, and I understand the Canadians’ frustration, but I think we should respect the anthems and stuff like that,” Doughty said. “I don’t think anyone should be booing.”

    U.S. defenseman Zach Werenski didn’t appreciate the boos.

    “We knew it was going to happen,” Werenski said. “It happened the last game, it’s been happening in the NHL before this, and we knew tonight was going to be the same way. We obviously don’t like it.”

    The U.S. faced boos ahead of their game against Finland and later won 6-1.

    “It is what it is,” Werenski said. “We kind of had an idea. We used it as motivation the best we could and found a way to get a win. But we had an idea going into it, so it wasn’t a surprise. Definitely don’t like it, though.”

    American hockey star Zach Werenski reacts to national anthem boos

    The U.S. and Canada’s 4 Nations Face-Off matchup on Saturday night quickly became a slugfest as multiple players dropped gloves following boos during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

    The Americans defeated Canada, 3-1, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, but U.S. defenseman Zach Werenski was unhappy with the booing during the national anthem. In the NHL, boos have been heard during the song after Trump announced tariffs on Canada, which have since been paused. The president has also teased Canadians with the idea of Canada becoming the “51st state.”

    Still, the boos have been heard.

    “We knew it was going to happen,” Werenski said. “It happened the last game, it’s been happening in the NHL before this, and we knew tonight was going to be the same way. We obviously don’t like it.”

    The U.S. faced boos ahead of their game against Finland and later won 6-1.

    Matthew Tkachuk fought Brandon Hagel off the opening faceoff, his brother Brady tussled with Sam Bennett and J.T. Miller fought Colton Parayko. Brady Tkachuk told ESPN that his brother’s fight “happened pretty organically.”

    “Matthew said that he wanted to go first, it just happened and now it’s over and done with,” he said. “It’s right when Matthew found out the starting lineup, he said that he wanted a piece of him (Hagel).”

    Hagel added that he thought it was a “long time coming” between him and Matthew Tkachuk.

    Conor McDavid started the scoring for Canada but the U.S. answered with a Jake Guentzel goal. Dylan Larkin scored in the second period to take the lead. Guentzel then put in an empty-netter.

  • NHL exec hopes Canadians avoid ‘unfortunate situation’ of booing US national anthem ahead of rivalry game

    NHL exec hopes Canadians avoid ‘unfortunate situation’ of booing US national anthem ahead of rivalry game

    The USA-Canada rivalry on the ice is a longstanding one, but the rivalry appears to have gone political.

    The bordering countries will take the ice Saturday night in Montreal for the 4 Nations Face-Off, the first time the two countries have played against each other in a best-on-best format since the World Cup of Hockey in 2016.

    When Team USA faced Finland Thursday night in Canada, the crowd was anti-U.S., booing the American players and, later, the national anthem despite the public address announcer pleading with fans to respect both anthems.

    “I think it’s obviously an unfortunate situation. I don’t think anybody likes when anthems are booed or disrespected in any way, and certainly we count ourselves among that group,” Bill Daly, the NHL’s deputy commissioner, told Bloomberg’s “Business of Sports” podcast.

    A rivalry is a rivalry, but tensions between Canadians and the United States are high after President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on goods imported from the north. He also said Canada could become the “51st state.”

    Raptors and Senators fans also booed the “Star-Spangled Banner” earlier this month when American teams visited Toronto and Ottawa. Vancouver Canucks announcer John Shorthouse even joked that a penalty would be 2½ minutes because of the 25% tariffs.

    TEAM USA STAR MATTHEW TKACHUK DELIVERS STERN ONE-LINER AFTER CANADIAN FANS BOO DURING AMERICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

    Daly said the NHL is “monitoring the situation.”

    “I do think it’s ebbing a little bit,” Daly said. “Our experience just this past week in Montreal was a positive experience, with two American teams playing there. So, I hope that that will continue. Sport is a way of breaking down barriers and bringing people closer together, and we hope that this tournament can help do that, for sure.”

    The puck drops at 8 p.m. A win in regulation for the U.S. will clinch a spot in next Saturday’s one-game final. There is a chance the two could play each other for the tournament title when it moves to Boston next week.

  • Team USA stars brace for rivaled showdown vs Canada as tensions rise over national anthem controversy

    Team USA stars brace for rivaled showdown vs Canada as tensions rise over national anthem controversy

    Team USA and Team Canada are facing off in international best-on-best hockey at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday in Montreal, and the stakes are high.

    It is the first time in nine years that NHL players will be able to compete in the bitter rivalry, as the NHL stopped allowing players to play in such an event since the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. 

    “I’ve thought about this game for nine years,” Team USA star Matthew Tkachuk said via Sportsnet.

    Adding to what is already going to be a hotly contested game on the ice, there is another part of the highly anticipated matchup that fans will be watching: the national anthems. 

    Prior to Team USA’s 6-1 win over Finland on Thursday, which was also in Montreal, the Canadian fans booed during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

    “I didn’t like it. That’s all I got,” Tkachuk said postgame of the boos. 

    And Tkachuk played like someone who didn’t like it as he and his brother, Brady Tkachuk, each scored two goals in the win. 

    The Canadian fans would be wise to not give the Tkachuk brothers or Team USA any more reason to be fired up against team Canada on Saturday, 

    “I think it’s going to be the biggest game that I’ve ever played in my career. I’m really looking forward to that. There’s a big buildup to it. USA vs. Canada is bigger than just the guys on the ice,” Brady said postgame.

    “There’s so many people past, present and down the road [that it affects]. We’ve been talking about this game especially. It’s going to be a long couple days [waiting] until it happens, but it’ll be exciting.”

    Team Canada star and Boston Bruins captain, Brad Marchand, wasn’t happy with the boos from Canadian fans during the national anthem. 

    “They should not be booing the Americans during that anthem. They have nothing to do with the political things that are going on. I do feel bad for those guys in that moment. I don’t think it’s right,” Marchand said via The Athletic. 

    “We respect the anthems; I’ll leave it at that,” Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby said via ESPN. 

    Since President Donald Trump’s threat to issue tariffs on Canada and even saying that the country could become the “51st state,” it has been common for boos to be heard during the USA’s national anthem.

    Both Toronto Raptors and Ottawa Senators fans have booed the USA’s national anthem since the tariffs were set to begin. 

    Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke via phone last week just before additional 25% tariffs were to take effect on Canadian goods coming into the United States.

    Trudeau said that Canada will implement a $1.3 billion border plan and appoint a fentanyl czar, in a post to X. 

    Trump had promised to impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian and Mexican goods, as well as a 10% tariff on Canadian energy, as he has long said that the countries have not done enough at the borders. 

    With the Canadian crowd now supporting their own team on Saturday, the boos could be thunderous during the United States national anthem.

    Team USA forward JT Miller said the booing gets them fired up. 

    “I think we like it. Not politically, but just in the sense of we know where we’re at, in Canada. I think that fires us up more than anything,” Miller said via the NY Post. 

    Team Canada also won their first game of the tournament, a 4-3 overtime thriller on Wednesday. 

    While their national anthem may not be booed, they will certainly be ready to roll for Saturday night. 

    “It’s a big game,” Team Canada superstar Connor McDavid told reporters after practice on Friday.

    In addition to the excitement of NHL players being able to take part in the USA-Canada hockey rivalry, there is a scenario that if Team USA wins, they can clinch a spot in the final in Boston next Thursday night. 

    It’s safe to say both of these teams will be bringing their best on Saturday night.

    Team USA star Matthew Tkachuk delivers stern one-liner after Canadian fans boo during American national anthem

    Team USA heard the boos loud and clear, and they weren’t happy about it. 

    When they took the ice ahead of their matchup against Finland in the 4 Nations Face-Off on Thursday night, they were vociferously booed by the Canadian fans. 

    The booing continued during the “Star-Spangled Banner,” as fans disregarded the request from the public address announcer asking fans to respect the United States and Finnish anthems.

    “I didn’t like it. That’s all I got,” Team USA star Matthew Tkachuk said postgame.

    And Tkachuk played like someone who didn’t like it. 

    Tkachuk scored two goals in Team USA’s 6-1 win. It was 2-1 going into the third period before Team USA erupted for four goals in the third period to break the game open. 

    Tkachuk recently spoke about how “grateful” he is to be American during a visit to the White House. 

    Tkachuk was part of the Florida Panthers Stanley Cup winning team last season. He spoke at the White House while the team was celebrating the victory with President Donald Trump. 

    “Thank you, Mr. President, for having us today. We greatly appreciate it. Being one of the few Americans, who loves this country so much, it’s such an incredible day for myself. You wake up every day really grateful to be an American. So, thank you,” Tkachuk said.

    Team Canada and Team USA are the two favorites in the 4 Nations Face-Off and are set to play each for the first time on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET in Montreal. 

    Canada won their first game, holding on against Sweden in a 4-3 overtime victory on Wednesday. 

    Considering the bitter hockey rivalry between the two countries and the political dissension from Canada’s fans toward the U.S. right now, the booing could be thunderous during the “Star-Spangled Banner” on Saturday.

  • Canadian hockey fans boo Team USA players, national anthem at 4 Nations tournament in Montreal

    Canadian hockey fans boo Team USA players, national anthem at 4 Nations tournament in Montreal

    The 4 Nations Face-Off began this week in Montreal, and Team USA is public enemy no. 1 up north.

    Team USA played its first game of the tournament on Thursday against Finland, a day after Canada defeated Sweden in overtime, and they were across enemy lines to start the tournament.

    As the team took the ice, the team was vigorously booed by the crowd, who continued to cheer on Finland all night.

    The fans also booed the playing of the “Star-Spangled Banner,” despite the public address announcer asking the fans to respect the anthems.

    The Canada-USA hockey rivalry is long-lived, but the hostility from Canadian sports fans has grown since President Donald Trump’s threats to issue tariffs on the country and saying Canada could become the “51st state.”

    It is not the first time sports fans in Canada booed the USA’s national anthem since the tariffs were set to begin; Raptors and Senators fans did so earlier this month.

    The boos did not work long, though. Finland opened up the scoring, but Team USA scored six unanswered goals, including four in the third period, for a 6-1 victory. Brady and Matthew Tkachuk each scored twice.

    Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke via phone last week hours before additional 25% tariffs were to take effect on Canadian goods coming into the United States. In a post on X, Trudeau said Canada will implement a $1.3 billion border plan and appoint a fentanyl czar.

    Trump has long said Canada and Mexico have failed to do enough to prevent the flow of illegal migrants and drugs, particularly fentanyl, from those nations into the U.S. In addition, Trump claims the U.S. has subsidized Canada to the tune of $200 billion annually. 

    Trump had promised to impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian and Mexican goods, as well as a 10% tariff on Canadian energy and a 10% tariff on all goods entering the U.S. from China. The tariffs on China were set to go into effect Tuesday at midnight.

    National Impotence Day 2025 Date and Significance: What Is Erectile Dysfunction? Psychological and Physical Impact of ED and Other Details You Should Know

    National Impotence Day, also known as National Erectile Dysfunction Day, is a significant observance aimed at raising awareness about erectile dysfunction (ED) and its impact on men’s health. Celebrated annually, this day encourages open discussions about ED, breaks down the stigma surrounding the condition, and promotes education on its causes and treatments. Although many men feel embarrassed or reluctant to talk about ED, this awareness day provides a platform for individuals to learn more about the condition, its effects, and how they can seek help. On National Impotence Day 2025, observed on February 14, we bring you National Impotence Day significance, erectile dysfunction meaning, psychological and physical impact of ED and other important details that you should know.

    National Impotence Day 2025 Date

    National Impotence Day 2025 falls on Friday, February 14.

    What Is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

    Erectile dysfunction, commonly referred to as ED, is a condition where a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. ED is not uncommon and can affect men of all ages, although it becomes more prevalent as men get older. The causes of ED can be both physical and psychological, and in many cases, a combination of both. Physical causes may include underlying health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and hormonal imbalances. Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship problems can also contribute to ED. National Impotence Day 2025: From Kegel to Squats, 5 Exercises That Will Help You Avoid Erectile Dysfunction. 

    While occasional difficulty with erections is a normal part of life, persistent or chronic ED can lead to emotional distress, decreased self-esteem, and challenges in relationships. National Impotence Day aims to highlight the importance of addressing ED, encouraging men to seek help from healthcare providers without shame.

    National Impotence Day Significance

    National Impotence Day serves a critical role in reducing the stigma associated with erectile dysfunction. For many men, ED can be an uncomfortable subject to bring up, even with a doctor. This is often due to societal pressures and misconceptions about masculinity. The awareness day provides a safe space for men to acknowledge and discuss ED openly, helping to normalize conversations about sexual health.

    By encouraging education and awareness, National Impotence Day helps men and their partners better understand ED, its potential causes, and treatment options. Raising awareness about ED can lead to earlier diagnoses, better management of the condition, and ultimately improved quality of life. It also fosters healthier relationships by promoting communication between partners and addressing concerns without shame or embarrassment.

    The Psychological and Physical Impact of ED

    Erectile dysfunction can have a significant impact on both the mental and physical well-being of those affected. On the physical side, ED can be a sign of underlying health issues, such as poor cardiovascular health, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances. These physical causes may require medical treatment to address the root of the problem, and early diagnosis can prevent further complications.

    On the psychological side, ED can take a toll on a man’s self-esteem and mental health. Many men feel frustrated, embarrassed, or inadequate when dealing with the condition. This can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, or even depression. In some cases, ED can cause tension in relationships, as it may lead to a lack of intimacy and communication between partners.

    National Impotence Day encourages men to seek support from healthcare professionals, mental health counselors, and support groups. Open conversations about ED can reduce the emotional burden of the condition and provide individuals with the resources they need to manage their health.
