| I hate the Oilers, but that was pretty cool. To be an Oiler then would have been pretty awesome. |

Ya, that gives you good memories. Also, at the Stars games I like how they yell stars everytime it comes up in the Star Spangled Banner.
I've figured it out, the guys gotta play like girls! |

Nice video! Not that it inspires patriotic feelings in me, but for you Canadians it's really something eh? 
Anyone have a link to when the fans at the 1972 Summit Series sang 'O Canada'? I've heard it was supposed to be exceptionally loud since that was a great victory for Canada. |

Yeah I know I love when they do that because it is very loud and everyone is doing it and it's funny becuase they're all on the same beat. |

I have often admired the Canadians for their participation in the anthem. If only Americans were not so complacent!

That just goes to show you how passionate us Canadians are about hockey. When I first saw that it sent a shiver down my spine to know that those fans were singing that loud just over a hockey game. WoW I would be pumped up if I was an Oiler playing in that game

| I think it's only in Buffalo. Does it have something to do with the proximity to the Canadian Border and that meaning there are a lot more Canadians in the stands than in other rinks?? |

| Yeah, that's probably it Beans. Buffalo's what, a half-hour away from Toronto? It's pretty close to the border, so Canadians come on in for the games. Now if I ever see a game in Canada I'm gonna yell the Star Spangled Banner at the top of my lungs, lol. |

It's estimated at 3-4000 Buffalo season ticket holders are Canadian....the guys behind me were last night, and at any rate, we're so close, most of the ppl here know the words anyway

Beats the Leafs eh?
If I lived closer to NY I'd be a season ticket holder for sure. And I know the words to 'O Canada'...sort of. |

actually most of the canadian ask why do the french in quebec province (like me) took the anthem and "translate" it to french, but actually they are all mistaken, we wrote it in french first (im proud of it) then you did transaltein english

If you have a chance tonite, watch the Sabes national anthem singer. He's pretty badass....along the same lines as the Ottawa guy (except the Ottawa guy is dressed way cooler).
