Guerin appeared in “America’s Newsroom” on Monday and was asked if the fight was lit due to the boo, the previous heat between the players or the political struggle between the United States and Canada. Guerin said he thought everything was the above.
“I think a little of everything. Canada-US is a great rivalry in hockey,” he said. “I think there was a little political flare. It’s just the moment we are. I think our boys used it as inspiration. If you let it overcome it, then you are in trouble. But I really think the players used it as inspiration.”
Guerin promoted the intensity of the game between the two teams, calling it the “highest level of hockey ever played.”
