Awfully cool watching Canada honor they're visiting rival hockey team Carolina by singing the American Anthem,I'm proad of Alberta and Canada for doing that!!

Here in Maine at Hockey and Racing events when there are canadians we usually play the Canadian National Anthem, is that common elsewhere?

Yep- Rodeos, demo derbies, etc. They don't at any of the school events usually because we have little cross border sports competition- altho a few times we've had fill in football games filled with a Canadian team and they do then....Couldn't tell you about the Hockey games as I don't go to any of them- sit in the cold to watch a guy slip and slide around on the ice chasing a frozen horse turd- SHEEEESH Rolling Eyes Wink Laughing ....

It's ok Mrs Greg hockey is a man's game to fast and tough for an oldie from Montana better crawl in an easy chair and watch NASTARD lol. Mrs Greg was probably refering to the classless fans in San Jose who booed our national anthem-pretty stupid to boo the country where 90 percent of your players came from-ohh well their golfing and were still playing hockey.

I agree with you there. If this league wants to be taken seriously in it's southern markets (and elsewhere) it better get a handle on the way the games are called. The penalty on Jason Smith with four minutes left was a bush league call, and not the only one of the game.

Well I'd make darn sure that i got the wood on a guy-if your going to get two anyway you might as well give the guy a memento lol. They miss a big crosscheck then call that crap-Ron McClean said it best when he said start calling diving-Carolina is damned good at it.

Well, if they're gonna call everything like they claim they're supposed to, diving better be part of it. Too many guys taking advantage of the so called 'zero tolerance'. Makes me mad that zero tolerance doesn't include diving. And what is this nonsense I've seen where when they do call a guy for diving, they still call the other guy for the hook / trip???? Does that make any sense at all?
