Team USA captain Auston Matthews on what he told the team during the pre-OT intermission:
“They’re telling us we’re bad people because of our government or whatever…that isn’t us at all. Their last prime minister did blackface, divorced his wife, and then started banging Katy Perry…who can’t sell tickets to her shows anymore. Their biggest star [Drake] is a certified pedophile. So you tell me who’s in worse shape. Let’s go out there and remind them who we really are.”
