It’s almost go-time, folks! The battle between the stars and stripes and the maple leaf is about to hit its grand finale, and let’s just say, this one’s got fireworks written all over it. The NHL 4 Nations Face-Off final is serving up a red-hot rematch between Team USA and Canada, and if their last showdown was any indication, buckle up. Their first clash in Montréal? Absolute chaos. Three fights in the first nine seconds, a rowdy Canadian crowd, and a hard-fought 3-1 win for Team USA.
Now, with a championship on the line, the stakes have never been higher. But wait—here’s where it gets even spicier. While Brad Marchand is ready to suit up for Canada, one of his Boston Bruins teammates, Charlie McAvoy, might suit up for the USA if he comes out of injury. But before that, their Bruins’ teammate is keeping it all the way real about this high-stakes showdown.
In a video shared by the Boston Bruins on X, a journalist tossed a question at David Pastrnak, trying to stir the pot a little. “Any interest between USA and Canada in terms of between Brad or any of those guys?” But he was cool as ice with his response. “Honestly, not really,” he shrugged, totally unbothered. Sure, he admitted it’s great for hockey to see these two powerhouse nations battling it out in the finals, and yeah, Team USA took the first game, but at the end of the day? He’s just here for the vibes.
“As a Hockey fan, I enjoyed those couple of games to watch and I will watch Thursday, but I really don’t care who will win.” No stress, no rivalry, just a guy who loves the sport and isn’t losing sleep over the outcome. Classic Pastrnak—keeping it chill while the hockey world is on fire. The stage is set, the stakes are sky-high, and the hockey world is buzzing! Team USA and Canada both punched their tickets to the 4 Nations final with matching 2-1 records, leaving Finland and Sweden in the dust.
@pastrnak96 on the #4Nations Face-Off: “The level [of play] is very high. Good for hockey to have this tournament and for the fans to get to see…happy for our fans in Boston, hopefully it will be a good game [on Thursday].”

Now, they’re ready to battle it out for the first best-on-best international crown since 2016. History? Well, Canada’s got it in spades, winning the last three and nine of 13 all-time. The U.S.? Their lone moment of glory came back in 1996 at the World Cup of Hockey. But hey, that just means they’re hungry for another taste of victory!
So, mark your calendars—Thursday, Feb. 20, is when all the questions get answered. But before we dive into the on-ice drama, let’s talk about David Pastrnak, who may have played it cool, but guess what? He definitely threw a little fuel on the fire with his take!
