For the US team, its three fights in nine seconds against Team Canada on Saturday night began with a group chat.
Brady Tkachuk, who was involved in the second fight only a second after his brother, Matthew, dropped his gloves, revealed that the brothers and JT. Miller also made an earlier group conversation that day and planned his fights (Brady fought against the Florida Panthers teammate from Matthew, Sam Bennett).
