Canada wins the Four Nations Face-Off. Tkachuk Tried Giving it a go, but his body said no

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Florida Panthers Historian Francisco Oporta (@fjojr and @FLACatsHistory) to the show to break down Canada's 3-2 OT win over the USA in the Four Nations Face-Off Championship. The two discuss the success of the tournament and that it gave hockey fans everything they wanted on a true best-on-best tournament. Canada at times set the pace, and did so early with a goal five minutes into the game where Nathan MacKinnon struck again. USA then would score shortly after juggling their lines, putting Auston Matthews with the Tkachuk brothers. USA then took the lead into the second period thanks to Jake Sanderson, and after a tight third period where the USA was starting to take control, they couldn't capitalize. Jordan Binnington came through in the over time period off a short side shot off a rebound by Brady Tkachuk, and then shortly after, Canada won a draw in the USA zone, where Adam Fox and Auston Matthew went to chase the puck, leaving Connor McDavid wide open in the slot, where his shot got past the glove of Connor Hellebuyck for the Golden goal. McDavid was contained for the most part, but one mistake proved costly for the Americans. Sam Reinhart and Sam Bennett were the Panthers to come out victorious in the tournament, and Matthew Tkachuk tried giving it a go after getting hurt in the first matchup against Canada. Matthew Tkachuk played one shift after the nine minute mark of the third period, but couldn't finish the rest of the game. What does that mean now for when the Panthers return to action? We discuss all this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
