Drew Doughty let it be known loud and clear that he is ready to do anything for his country, even if it means taking down Matthew Tkachuk in a huge brawl. Drew Doughty and Matthew Tkachuk have <a href='https://www.si.com/nhl/drew-doughty-doesnt-rule-out-fighting-matthew-tkachuk-during-usa-canada-4-nations-face-off#:~:text=The%20feud%20between%20Tkachuk%20and,Tkachuk%20a%20%22dirty%20player.%22' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>long been sworn nemeses</a>. In Tkachuk's time in Calgary, which seems like it has been so long ago, the Kings and Flames used to clash all the time as division rivals, with hot arguments following. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/LAKings/status/1203510349825114112'> </a></blockquote></div> Their respective histories only provided more fuel to the fire. Now, <a href='https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/43893884/beat-guys' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>with Canada and the U.S. set to face each other</a> in the Four Nations Tournament final, the question on everyone's lips is: could their rivalry be rekindled? It's certainly feasible. <h3><a href='https://www.markerzone.com/hockey/stats/nhl/player/Drew-Doughty-10513' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Drew Doughty</a> showed immense pride for his country</h3> When questioned if he would fight <a href='https://www.nhl.com/panthers/player/matthew-tkachuk-8479314' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Tkachuk</a>, who, as it happens, fought Saturday night at the Bell Centre, Doughty was clear: he'd go through with it if that's what it would take for his nation, clearly showing the pride that he has for his country. It's not as if he'd have anything else to say, but his face didn't exactly light up when talking about it with <a href='https://x.com/BizNasty2point0' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Paul Bissonnette</a>. The Kings defenseman also addressed the strategic ramifications. You're putting me on the spot, Biz. I'll do anything for my country. If the time is right and I've got to go, I guess so, Doughty said. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL_On_TNT/status/1891643935044341964'> </a></blockquote></div> A fight would remove an important American forward for a couple of minutes, but for Canada, the loss of a defenseman, even momentarily, could be expensive, especially one as experienced as <a href='https://www.nhl.com/kings/player/drew-doughty-8474563' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Doughty</a>. But with Tkachuk injured, a fight could wind up ending his night, and obviously, the tournament as it is the final game. That's probably why some wish a Canadian player, not necessarily Doughty, would rise to the challenge and fight him.
