Team Canada is set to kick off its men\u2019s hockey tournament on Thursday against Czechia, but it\u2019s clear that their eyes are still on their biggest rival: Team USA.<\/p>\n
In a short video now going viral among hockey fans, Canadian forwards Brad Marchand and Seth Jarvis, along with goaltender Adin Hill, were asked to say three nice things about the Americans. And the results are hilarious. <\/p>\n
Marchand, never shy with his words, delivered a response that had fans in stitches: \u201cThey\u2019re alive, they can skate, and they like food.\u201d Jarvis chimed in with his own playful answer: \u201cI live in the United States, Jaccob Slavin (my Carolina Hurricanes teammate) is a good person, and they\u2019ve got cool hockey gloves.\u201d<\/p>\n
The clip has been widely shared, and social media fans are loving it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so over-the-moon happy that Jarvy gets to be part of this,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cStop making me like Brad Marchand,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdding Seth Jarvis was such a good move,\u201d added a third.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018They\u2019re alive\u2019\u2014lol. I\u2019m not typically a Brad Marchand fan, but he\u2019s genuinely funny,\u201d noted a fourth.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a rare moment of humour and lightheartedness ahead of a high-stakes rivalry. With the Olympic tournament just beginning, it seems Canada\u2019s stars are keeping things loose, while also reminding fans why the Canada\u2013USA hockey rivalry is always must-watch.<\/p>\n
