I'd heard of Metric but didn't really know anything about them until their performance. It wasn't great -- the weather wasn't really conducive to it -- but I appreciate that the NHL/Flames decided to get away from cheesy oldies Can-Con and go with some bands that are relevant today.
If it was The Guess Who playing I wouldn't have watched the performance at all...because I had heard of Metric but didn't know much about them, I was at least interested in hearing if they were any good.
In the end, I doubt that any of us were watching today for the musical performances...it's a bit like watching porn for the plot and dialogue.
