Sang OUR national anthem in its entirety after the singers mic failed yesterday. Pretty cool.

Jingoism.

Nah, I would've said wouldn't happen at an NBA game if that were the case :wink:

I'm just going to say this type of thing would only happen at a hockey game. (it has happened before too and went down exact like this in terms of the response)

Are we entirely sure the words weren't put up on the video board?

they weren't. Those fans hear the US anthem probably 30 times a year in Edmonton.

If the roles were reversed I sincerely doubt that US fans in any sport could sing more than the first two lines of O Canada.

I know I couldn't. But I'm also never in a place to hear it

I think I could when I was younger. Seemed like I went to one Cubs expos game a year and every Hawks game we saw they did the Anthem. So it's possible I saw a lot of maple leaf games or they used to sing both before ever game in the mid to late 80's. Almost never hear it now.

I would guess we get 75% of the words correct when the fireworks start at Lakemoorfest.

I can sing it all in English but not in French.

Our country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beef carcasses

And we have to clean up after them
And our saddle sores are the best
We proudly wear women's clothing
And searing sand blows up our skirts

And the buzzards, they soar overhead
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole
And our bones will bleach in the sun
That's it!

And we will probably go to [REDACTED]
And that is our great reward
For being the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen
C'mon everybody

Our country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beef carcasses

And we have to clean up after them
And our saddle sores are the best
We proudly wear women's clothing
And searing sand blows up our skirts

And the buzzards, they soar overhead
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole
Our bones will bleach in the sun

And we will probably go to
And that is our great reward
For being the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen
