The US beat Canada 3-1 in their round robin match of the 4 Nations Face-Off event on Saturday night at Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada, which had fans saying the same three words: play free bird.
The US, which has taken over the hockey world, won the World Juniors earlier this year. They chose Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” as the song to play after they scored goals during the event.
You can hear the classic rock song playing in the background as the US celebrated following Teddy Stiga’s winning goal in overtime of the championship game against Finland at the World Juniors.
The US 4 Nations team decided to continue the trend. They chose “Free Bird” as their song to play after goals in the 4 Nations Face-Off event. It played six times on Thursday when the US beat Finland 6-1. Then it played three times on Saturday as the US beat Canada 3-1.
Fans and even NHL teams were joining in the celebration and kept saying “play free bird.”
Who saw Lynyrd Skynyrd becoming such a big part of US hockey? American fans are loving it, and they loved the win over Canada even more.
