As you surely already know, Saturday night, we witnessed a very intense start to the game between Canada and the United States. Three fights broke out in just nine seconds, notably involving brothers Matthew and Brady Tkachuk.

It turns out that on Saturday night at the Bell Centre, the younger of the Tkachuk brothers was mic’d up.

Several interesting clips have been released, but one in particular is drawing a lot of attention.
