"You guys are really talented. I have great respect for hockey players. I'm a hockey fan. I love hockey," Trump began. 

Coaches and players were seen smiling, but kept stoic expressions, as the president spoke. 

"The talent, the skill that you have is crazy. And just go out and have a good time tonight and I just want to wish you a lot of luck. You really are a skill group of people," Trump continued. "It's an honor to talk to you. And get out there, and there's no pressure whatsoever." 

The players let out a light chuckle after Trump's "no pressure" line. 

Finally, Trump departed with his closing message. 

"You just go out and have a good time. You're going to win, and we love America. We love you guys. We'll be watching tonight. Bring it home!" Trump concluded. 

The stakes for Thursday's game were raised amid physical hostility between the teams throughout the tournament and geopolitical tension between the two countries in recent weeks. 

It started on Feb. 13 when Canada fans in Montreal booed the U.S. national anthem. The tension stemmed from President Donald Trump's recent threats to issue tariffs on Canada
