Anarchy broke out at the hockey game between America and Canada on Saturday night with three fights in nine seconds after the US national anthem was ferociously booed.

There were three separate brawls early on in the game in Montreal as tensions continue to flare between the nations after President Trump recently threatened to impose tariffs on Canada.

Trump also suggested the country could become America’s ’51st state’, prompting backlash from a close neighbor and longtime ally.

With Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sat in the stands, the home fans once again showed their anger towards Trump by jeering ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’.

The booing came despite desperate pleas from PA announcers inside Centre Bell to ‘respect the national anthems’ before it played.

Fans lined up by the hundreds to get into the arena more than 90 minutes before start time and also booed every time a US player was shown on video screens during pregame warmups.
