00:00A person who says stuff. His name is Matthew Chuck. Now. This is cool
00:06Matthew could Chuck was on The Tonight Show
00:09He was on with Jimmy Fallon last night
00:15Are they really
00:18Canadians
00:20The thread underneath the picture
00:24Who was hating on him, where's March and was he not invited to Jimmy Fallon
00:30Oh
00:31Well, let's hear a little bit of Matthew could Chuck on The Tonight Show
00:36which didn't feature any Boston Bruins and
00:40Here was Matthew could Chuck. This was him discussing
00:44On all the fights in the Four Nations Cup
00:48This is a big to the Four Nations face-off
00:51Everyone was talking about this. Everyone watched like 60 million people. When was the last time they did this? It was been
00:58Ten years, I think since last international
01:01The last international opportunity. So this is my ninth year in the league
01:04So I've kind of gotten the short end of the stick on that. You've never had the opportunity
01:08No, never had the opportunity
01:10So I think you know myself and all the guys that were in this were just so jacked up for it
01:14And I think that's why you saw the the fights all at the beginning of that game against Canada
01:18I think guys want to get their anger out of the way. No
01:21Yeah, they did the first nine seconds of the game. There was like three fights. Yeah. Yeah, and you're one of them
01:27I I was one of them. My brother was one of them. So yeah
01:31Dad was proud. Yeah
01:35You said in some interview that it was the big one that was the biggest game you ever played in you won the Stanley Cup
01:42Yeah, this was bigger
01:43It really was such a big tournament in such a huge stage and something that I'll never forget and just the thing that I'm most
01:49Proud of with that team was how much pride we showed in representing our country and and being Americans
01:55We're so lucky to be from this great country and to be able to represent
01:59It must feel cool to put that Jersey up
02:02Yeah, just just to be able to represent and look down and see the USA crest. Yes. It's nothing, you know
02:08There's nothing that'll beat that so it's incredible
02:11See, he's like fireworks dude fireworks and apple pie
02:14Here's here's the the greatest thing about any could you
02:26You hate him unless he's on your team and you love him. Mm-hmm and
02:33You can't have the perspective
02:36Until he's on your team. It's pretty crazy though. Like how many hockey players are getting on Fallon, right?
02:41It was so shocking for me to see like how many guys were to fight nine seconds into a
02:47Into one of the most watched athletic events in a while
02:50There's not a lot of guys. I feel I can have the media cachet though
02:54Like you got to have a certain personality. That is a thing with a certain way because
02:59Ovechkin is getting ready to break a record that nobody thought would break and I don't know
03:05Are they gonna have him on with his teeth out or his teeth in or what?
03:09No, I don't know what I mean because that that's a big deal
03:13That's a record. Nobody ever thought anybody would break that Ovechkin can party. You remember when he won the Cup? Oh my goodness
03:20Russia
03:23We're more let's hear a little bit more forgot Madigan Chuck cool. We'll break clock for America go Len
03:30This is him I'm getting to play with Brady
03:34Yeah, yeah, it's been two different play together never it was our first time
03:38We played an all-star game together, but that's fake. So
03:42It was our first ever opportunity and we grew up like always competing against each other and dreaming about
03:48Eventually one day he plays in Ottawa. I'm in Florida
03:50So we need to be tough for the regular season
03:52but we always had the dreams of playing with each other and you know, it finally came true when you won the
03:59Stanley Cup there was a shot of your dad. I just want to show everyone. Here's a picture of your dad at game seven
04:05He got emotional there yeah proud dad, I think that's the only time I've ever seen him cry
04:10Yeah, and now I'm sure you got a national television again
04:13And then my brother was crying there too, which I haven't seen him cry since playing mini sticks in the basement and throwing him
04:20Through the walls. Yeah
04:24There were a lot that was mom was not too happy with that
04:27No, then we had to bring it outside and play roller hockey, but your dad was a legend
04:32Yeah, and and he played 19 years and was one of the best players of all time and one of the best Americans of all
04:38time and he ever
04:39Unfortunately never got the chance to win the Cup and I don't think he would change a thing
04:43To see one of his boys lift that trophy and one of the coolest moments
04:47I had was after that on the ice having my whole family out there with me
04:50I don't know
04:51I had the cup in my hands for some reason this was
04:53after all the
04:54Celebrating and I got to hand it to him and it was one of the most special moments in my life, buddy
04:59Come on, Matthew
05:02He just made America swoon
05:05Matthew could Chuck just made America swoon. Look at that. They really don't know that he's the most disliked player
05:15And right in the face and and sometimes like
05:19so
05:21And and I would say this
05:23my
05:24personality
05:26Off the football field. You wouldn't think I played football the way that I did
05:32right, but
05:34sometimes you have to play a certain way to survive and
05:38I wasn't gonna outrun anybody. So I was very confrontational on a football for you
05:44But off the field I wasn't like, you know, people weren't afraid to come up to me because of it, right?
05:51I'm afraid to come with you the hard-on with 900 posters
05:57You know what I do I don't think
06:00That the people in this building
06:03understand
06:05right like
06:07some of the situations
06:09That they put me in. Mm-hmm. They really don't because like again, we were in Vegas and the cabbie just
06:19How do you think his script is going dude
06:22so there's nothing worse than being somewhere with Tobin yeah, and
06:27And somebody's saying something and he's going
06:35Script yeah, he looked at me. Well, that's it up dude, or the worst part was the seatbelt incident
06:46Where he he
06:49Never tried to help. Mm-hmm. He just sat there and
06:53Waited it out. Yeah, like yo, you're too hard. You got gentle gentle with it
