A couple of nights ago, the Detroit Red Wings were visiting the Maple Leafs in Toronto, and as custom, before the puck gets dropped both the US and Canadian national anthems were played. Unfortunately on this night the singer's microphone cut out toward the end of the US anthem.
Check out how our friends to the north handled the situation:
I guess this should not come as a surprise. As a hockey fan, I've always sung the Canadian anthem at the Minnesota home games, and have done so since I was a kid. I know others do as well, hence this response seems appropriate.
Regardless, it still was a classy thing to do. Hats off to you, Leafs fans.
This made me proud to be a hockey fan, and I teared up!
