00:00Uh, here is, uh, Brandon Hagel, of course, uh, talking about, uh, the fight that he had

00:07with Matty Kachup.

00:08No, I think it's going to be the same way.

00:10I think, uh, it's two countries, um, I mean, listen, what happened, what happened the other

00:17night?

00:18Um, I think I did it for the flag and, uh, not for the cameras.

00:24Okay.

00:25Uh, yeah.

00:26Yeah.

00:27Um, and then here's Matty Kachup, what he thinks of, uh, Hagel.

00:31I mean, maybe their team doesn't like each other then if they don't have group chats,

00:35but, uh, um, you know, I think that, uh, that's, uh, that's just a player, you know, enjoying

00:42this opportunity.

00:43So, um, I think that our team does not care about anything that they say, and there's

00:48been a lot of chatter and talk from individuals, but, you know, we care about one thing in

00:53this room and we have millions of people that are watching us and supporting us around

00:58this country.

00:59And we're very prideful and playing for them and the guys in the room.

01:02So, um, it's an opportunity of a lifetime for us.

01:06Let's just get real here.

01:08Uh, if you lose, uh, it's going to suck.

01:11Yeah.

01:12More than that, Scott.

01:13And I'll tell you, I got to give Hagel respect though.

01:16This guy and you know, Lightning and Panther, Bernstein, I'll tell you, these guys hate

01:19each other, like Leafs Canadians and Leafs Bruins type of thing.

01:22You know, uh, the rivalries too, like it's one of those situations where Hagel's not

01:27even a fighter and he stepped up and he fought.

01:29That's how much this tournament means to these guys right now.

01:31I don't think we're going to see like shenanigans off the top, like three fights in nine seconds,

01:35but I'm going to tell you, Scott, I can't wait for this game.

01:37Like to the anticipation of this thing.

01:39And Marinci was on earlier and he was right.

01:41If Canada loses this game tonight, there's a serious problem.

01:44They've already didn't go far in the juniors.

01:46There's a lot of things.

01:47Everybody's catching up, like even on the women's side.

01:49So USA wins tonight.

01:50Like it's going to be very, very bad.

01:52The prime minister is going to have to do damage control.

01:54There's going to be a lot of anger.

01:55Yeah.

01:56Damage control.

01:57The bars will be empty and they'll be sad.

02:02Win or lose, hit the booze, but hey, Vancouver, remember they burned down the city.

02:07Like if Canada loses tonight, I don't know.

02:09Yeah.

02:10That's not cool though.

02:11Like how much of a fool do you have to be to lose?

02:16I get it.

02:17Losing sucks.

02:18I've lost a lot of championship games.

02:20It sucks.

02:22I get it.

02:23It's torture.

02:24But I have never once in my life, I've lost all kinds of title games in basketball.

02:28I've never once gone out, start setting everything on fire.

02:33Like what is wrong with you?

02:36They did that in Vancouver.

02:37It was embarrassing.

02:39I was there.

02:40I was there.

02:41I was covering it for the score.

02:42We were doing journey to the Stanley cup and I was in right in the middle of that riot.

02:45And Marencio will tell you about it too.

02:47It was absolutely madness insane.

02:49Like we thought we could have died.

02:50It was, it got stupid.

02:52So I'm going to tell you this.

02:53I've always respected the fact that, you know, you don't talk to your best friend in a tournament

02:56at the end, you can go and have a cold beer.

02:58That's what it's all about.

03:00Let's just leave it on the ice.

03:01No friendship and whatever happens at the end, make the better team win should be a

03:04great game tonight.

03:05Well, in the Stanley cup playoffs, everybody shakes hands after the series ends.

03:11Why, why would you as fans go out and destroy the city that you live in and that you love?

03:17It makes zero sense to me.
