“When you put that jersey, it separates,” ” Said to Eruzione. “This is a big deal and you will send a message how much we have arrived in this country and the type of player we have.”

There were also some controversy and tensions that led to these fights after falling, as Canadian fans Let go of Boos during the American national anthem, which players like Matthew Tkachuka, who immediately fought with Brandon Hagel, admitted that he did not like him.

But when the animation ended, it was clear that Team USA could compete with Team Canada – a group of stars playing for the country where hockey is his national sport, and they have proven why they have been many times in the past.
Eruzione, however, could not be more secure to say that he believes that the best team in the world was ahead of him at dinner.
“You’re so damn good,” he said. “Grow it up, enjoy it. Because this is special. I can’t wait to watch you play because you guess what? The best team in the world currently sitting in front of me.
“Go out and show it and bring back something special. It’s something you’ll remember the rest of your life.”
