Canadian forward, Sam Bennett, just gave the best possible response to Matthew Tkachuk and Team USA. While there have been several subtle invitations and public jabs ahead of the grand final of the Four Nations Showdown, Bennett has now responded brilliantly.

After the jabs thrown by Matthew Tkachuk..

And while many expected the tough Bennett to engage in Tkachuk's mind games, he did the complete opposite-and we love it.

Sam Bennett doesn't care about sending messages: all that matters to him tonight is winning!

Here's what he had to say about the second showdown between Canada and the United States.

Sam Bennett, on the USA/Canada rematch:
'I think the messages were sent in that last game. This game, it's all about winning'

He also added that he wants nothing to do with anything else.

All that matters to him tonight is victory! (not the subtle invitations or the messages that can be exchanged at the start of the game)

I love this player!

Yes, this is shaping up to be exciting!

'We want them again!' - Sam Bennett
'This thing is far from over' and 'This is our Game 7' - Connor McDavid

Team Canada kept its word.

They will face Team USA this Thursday night.

Great players have stepped up.

This is going to be fun.
