Brad Marchand Refuses to Leak Team Canada Locker Room Details Ahead of 4-Nations Face Off: “Not Getting Into That”
Hey, have you glued yourself to the chairs? The 4-nations face-off has come down to two, and the excitement has skyrocketed. The biggest hockey event is going to happen in Boston, and considering how political tensions between the USA and Canada have been palpable since the beginning of the tournament, it would have been a surprise if politics didn’t come up ahead of the final game.
The Canadian left winger Brad Marchand was in conversation with the reporters hours before the USA face-off. When asked about the President of the United States wishing Team USA for the championship game and if there was any message that Justin Trudeau had sent the Canadian team’s way, the 36-year-old said, “I’m not getting into that stuff,” with a hint of a smile on his face.
Donald Trump had called Team USA before the finale of the 4-nations face-off against Canada and wished them luck. Talking about this USA forward, Brock Nelson said to NHL reporters, “Pretty incredible. For him to take time out of his day, wish us luck, and talk about just enjoying the moment …It’s pretty special and something I’ll remember forever.” There was also an anticipation surrounding President Trump’s presence in the arena. However, he said, “I will be speaking before the governors tonight in D.C., and will sadly, therefore, be unable to attend. “But we will all be watching.”
But to get back to Brad Marchand, though he did not reveal what Trudeau said to the team, he has cleared the air, by saying, “Everybody rallies behind the national teams of either country. There’s so much pride in the Canadian country and its hockey team. And it’s always been that way. It’s always been something that when these games are on everyone in the country sits down and watches them, it’s all people talk about and it gives people belief in, you know, whatever it is.” And how would not everyone be extremely excited? It’s the championship game and a rematch! You would miss that!

It’s the rematch and who’s gonna miss this! Even the people who haven’t watched a hockey game are also talking about the watch party. The Saturday game was a tough one where Team USA dominated the Canadian team. But the night in Boston is gonna be a long night. But according to experts, there is the ‘Connor Hellebuyck’ factor, which can be a great game changer in the game.

USA coach Sullivan confessed about the team’s mindset, stating, “I think Brady and Matthew, first and foremost, are really good hockey players, and they’ve been a big part of the success that we’ve enjoyed to this point in this tournament. I also think they have the ability, through their personality, to give our team a whole lot of confidence and swagger.” The interesting and heated part about the 4 Nations face-off finale is the Canadian team is saying, “This is our game” and the USA team is emphasizing “This is our time.”
As the game starts, the most important part would be to attack and dominate by offensive leads. Let’s see who makes the first and last move on the ice.
