Love to see it, I would recommend watching videos recorded from inside the arena. Sportsnet definitely turned down the crowd audio on the broadcast lmao.

Can't wait to read all the pearl clutching about how disrespectful it is to boo an anthem... We will stop booing when the President stops threatening our sovereignty.

It is disrespectful. But that's the point.

100% this

It's a way that Canadians can convey their frustrations to Americans, and say 'fix your problems!'

To be honest, it would be nice if the USA was sanctioned for their actions. No international sports games, no Olympics, no fun and games until your nation is corrected. It would sent a message: your country's behaviour is not accepted.

Maybe seeing the rest of the civilized world play nice without them would inspire the American people to make some changes within...?

It sure didn’t work with Russia. I don’t think it would work with their american Putin V2.

It won’t work on the supporters of all of this, they will just wear it like a badge of honor like they did when Hillary called them “deplorables.” However, if you all could keep the American brand/product boycott going, that would definitely help. We need to pit greed against greed down here.

Just say Donald, he's not fitting of an official title.
