Brady Tkachuk was interviewed following Team USA's blowout win over Finland, and when he was asked about the upcoming game against Canada, his response was epic.

Brady Tkachuk is hyped for tomorrow's USA vs. Canada game in the 4 Nations Face-Off. After the United States dominance over Finland 6-1 at the Bell Centre, Tkachuk called the Canada game his career's most important to this point.

He said it's more than a rivalry between players, it's a war that means everything to him and the fans, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

"I think it's going to be the biggest game than I've ever played in my career. So I'm really looking forward to that. And just, yeah, there's a big build up to it. And US versus Canada, it's bigger than just the guys on the ice. It's so many people past, present and future down the road that are just so excited for it...," Brady Tkachuk said.

The United States put on a dominant performance in their matchup against Finland. Brady and his brother Matthew each tallied two goals, Jake Guentzel tallied a goal and a helper, and Matt Boldy tallied a goal and a helper.

Jack Eichel and Zach Werenski created key plays, and Connor Hellebuyck blocked 20 shots. The Finns got going with a score by Henri Jokiharju but didn't score for the rest of the game. Juuse Saros struggled in the crease, giving up all six goals.

Coach Mike Sullivan shook up forward combinations in the second period, pairing Brady and Matthew Tkachuks alongside Eichel, a move that was productive. Boldy's late score put the United States up 2-1 before a blazing start to period three.

Matthew's power-play goal was backed up just 11 seconds later by another one by Guentzel. Brady added to their lead before Matthew put it home again on a power play.

The United States is in a position of leadership in the standings with three points, ahead of Canada (two), Sweden (one) and Finland (zero).

The tourney continues Saturday when Finland plays Sweden in the afternoon and the USA plays Canada at 8 p.m. ET. Winning in regulation would earn a berth in the Boston final for the Americans.
