Trudeau's comment after Canada beat US in hockey final
Trudeau posted to X,"You can't take our county and you can't take our game".
Trump has repeatedly referred to Canada as America's 51st state.
While players and fans alike outside the stadium were hesitant to discuss the geopolitical tension between the countries.
Trump posted on social media "I'll be calling our great American Hockey Team this morning to spur them on towards victory tonight against Canada".
Canada squared things up less than ten minutes after the Americans look at their lone lead of the game.
McDavid found himself free in front of the net and swiped the winner past Hellebuyck.
There was a smattering of boos and chants of "USA" in Boston at the start of the Canadian anthem but they were quickly drowned out by cheers in the packed arena.
