J.T. Miller had strong words to describe Team USA's rivalry with Team Canada.
The Team USA vs. Team Canada game on Saturday night kicked off with three fights in the first nine seconds.
It was a start for the ages as Matthew Tkachuk fought Braden Hagel immediately after the puck was dropped. That was followed up with a fight between Brady Tkachuk and Sam Bennett.
Even J.T. Miller joined the action, fighting Colton Parayko. Miller has been playing hockey for a long time and has participated in some memorable games, but he felt he’d never been a part of anything quite like what went on in the USA’s matchup against Canada.
"That was pretty fun,” Miller said via Mollie Walker of The New York Post. “That was the coolest experience I've probably had on the ice, one of them. To hear the building like that, it's something you'll never forget. There's a lot of bad blood, but at the same time, tons of respect for the other team."
The Americans went on to win 3-1, which punched their ticket to the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game.
Miller is among the four Rangers players representing the USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
