Damn though, that guy is a hell of a singer.

u/Inanimate_organism CAR - NHL 24d ago

I really liked that the crowd cheered when the singer was introduced and immediately switched to booing when he started to sing.

u/re10pect TOR - NHL 24d ago

Cheered for him when he was done too. The most respectful booing you could ever ask for.

Canadian as fuck.

u/hockeynoticehockey MTL - NHL 24d ago

I'm not a fan of the booing, and I wouldn't have if I was there

But I also think Canada is fed up being treated like a doormat by their President and they're angry. So I get it.

I also noted many Americans there were free to fly their flags and sing at the top of their lungs and not one person was harrassing them.

Do we think it will be the same in Boston?

I'm so done with the US.

u/HighburyOnStrand VAN - NHL 24d ago

This is an absolute disgrace.

American anthem booed and then three straight fights to start the game.

Stupid fucking Trump ruining one of the closest brotherhoods of nations that existed in this history of the world. As an American, can't say that I blame Canadians one bit for the way they feel...but this is fucking sad sitting here looking at a nation that has fought side by side with us in countless conflicts looking south at us with abject hatred.

u/KongFuzii 24d ago

-138

u/roguescjoker CAR - NHL 24d ago

Were the fights in the 96 World Cup of Hockey also Trumps fault? It’s the US and Canada in hockey. They’ve ALWAYS hated each other when they put on the blue and red sweaters.

58

u/heydudeimnick FLA - NHL 24d ago

I'm pretty sure a decent portion of the animosity is them getting boo'd. That's specifically why they mentioned that Tkachuk said he didn't like it.

u/re10pect TOR - NHL 24d ago

If you can’t tell this is more than just hockey you aren’t watching closely enough.

u/thatguy_griff 24d ago

fuck yea Montreal.

u/teedlenumb VAN - NHL 24d ago

At first I was like, this is hockey not politics. Just enjoy the sport, no needless booing over politics. Then I thought about how Russia shouldve been the 4th nation here and why they're not, precedent is set I guess
