The Tkachuk brothers, Matthew and Brady, played a key role in helping the United States reach the final of the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, but their comments may have provided extra motivation for Team Canada. Team USA had defeated Canada 3-1 in the round-robin stage, with Matthew Tkachuk stating, “It’s our time right now.” However, Canada got revenge in the championship game in Boston, winning 3-2 in overtime.
Following the victory, Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins had some interesting comments about the Tkachuk brothers, cautioning against shooting off in the media. Despite the loss, Brady Tkachuk performed well in the final, scoring a goal and setting a physical tone. Matthew Tkachuk, on the other hand, was unable to make much impact due to an injury sustained against Canada in the previous game.
Looking ahead, the Tkachuk brothers will have another chance to lead the United States in the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina. The intense USA-Canada rivalry will likely continue in international competition, providing another opportunity for the brothers to showcase their skills and competitiveness on the world stage. While the NHL trade deadline and Stanley Cup playoffs will take center stage in the coming weeks and months, hockey fans can expect the rivalry to reignite in Italy less than a year from now.
