Why do all the Canadian teams have a fat 60 year old dude singing the national anthem and all the American teams have some hot 20 year old chick sing theirs?
Discuss.

yea i love that police captain that sings for the ottawa senators and i love how the canadian anthem singers hold the mic up and let the fans sing, unlike the yanks who have to sing it all cuz they feel unsecure about themselves cuz they dont want to stop in the middle of there presious anthem or some shit lol..

i come back just to say one thing:
Danzig you are more inbred and retarded than any american ive ever met..
plainly, you are a fucking moron..
Edmonton and Carolina are fucking classy cities. .both of them. Did you hear them singing each others anthems? That is what it's all about.

i dunno, i didnt pay attention to the games in edmonton, but last night it seemed there were alot of Canadians in the crowd singing our anthem.
incidentally that girl leading was pretty cute
i missed the anthem last night, but the one who did the opening game in Carolina botched it pretty bad. Good looker, but not a singer thats for sure.
National anthem at the start of the game is stupid, outside of international tournaments.

oh well, nice for the fans and its prob a decent opportunity for local singers to get out and get some attention ::)
Pointless waste of time. Neither team is representing the country, so why play the anthem.

tradition... why not ::)
That had to be the greatest retort in internet history.
isn't it carried over from ww2 time as a way to promote nationalism & patriotism?

pronger and pecca were asked that and they said it sends chills down their spines everytime the oilers singer holds the mic and lets the crowd sing, so keep it going, why stop it?
Because it's not America vs. Canada...
Then again, if you're cheering for Edmonton just because they're a 'Canadian' team, you'll never understand what I'm talking about.

Fuckin rights that is working for them then keep that shit going??
What about the poor Euros? Why not sing their anthems too? Why do they have to benied the shivers? ::)
Why get rid of the anthem? What is wrong with singing a song which represents your country, and why do you need a reason?
The only reason it's still done is because of nationalism. Nationalism is a bad thing.
It makes sense in an international tournament, when you sing the other teams nation out of respect, because that team is representing that country... NHL teams don't really represent anything.
And why, dare I ask, is Nationalism bad at a sporting event? i guess they better dispose of the anthem singing at the Olympics as to prevent the fierce sense of nationalistic competition.
Oh wait... ::)
Traditionally, the anthem was sung by a representative from the opposing nation, as a sign of respect. And the Olympics as they are now are a joke; but that's a whole other argument.
Nationalism in the NHL is stupid.
why?
the players are representing a city (regardless of their own nationality), and that city is representing a country. What's the issue?
I'm honeslty not sure what the issue is, ask everyone who's ever boo'ed another 'teams' anthem.
And the players are representing the team, that's it. This isn't amateur hockey, this is business.
