What To Look For In USA/Canada Four-Nations Final
Right now, the hottest ticket in sports is for the Four Nations Final between the USA and Canada in Boston. Face value for one ticket to Thursday night’s hockey game was around $237, but now…on Stub Hub…the cheapest ticket in the door will run you $989 (without fees) to as much as $2,632. NHL veteran Bill Guerin credits President Donald Trump for building the heat around the matchup, specifically citing “51st state” and “tariff” talk.

Here's the moment it happened. (And the groan from the crowd.)
