Just curious about this one... We're playing a game between two Canadian teams, in Canada, yet the American national anthem was sung. Um, why? Why don't we also sing the Swedish anthem? Or the Russian?
Am I missing something here? I didn't hear the Canadian anthem at the Winter Classic...

If no Canadian anthem was sung at the WInter Classic, then yeah - this is bullsh-it (pardon my french).

Great question. I asked myself the same thing when I heard the US anthem. I can assume that because it was an NHL showcase event that both anthems were sung however I agree with Slozo. If the Canadian anthem was performed prior to the Winter Classic I have no issue. So, seeing as they did sing both Anthems at the Winter Classis, I have no issue.
I guess everyone forgets hearing Steven Page from BNL fame since the Canadian Anthem??

my guess is because the game was carried into the States and CC wanted to be politically correct.. pretty soon we'll be hearing the russian national anthem at games. |

| The Canadian national anthem is always played too at any big event, even if it's 2 US based teams playing (ie every Winter Classic), so i wasn't surprised to hear them play the US anthem at the Hertige Classic. |

[Mod Edit- Might not have crossed the line, but pretty close. Close enough to remove.]Yes the anthem was sung at the winter classic. And it was sung better then the American one!
