Wow. I can't believe how upset some people are that Metric was performing during the intermission. I admit I'm a huge Metric fan. Not because they're an indie band but because they're talented musicians and make catchy music that I enjoy.

Just because you don't like Metric and haven't heard of them doesn't mean it wasn't a great choice by the NHL. They're a big Canadian band that's not completely mainstream, their music is fast and upbeat (too bad they didn't play Gold, Guns, Girls), and they're not Def Leppard.

Puckluck you may not like Metric and I'm not telling you that you have to. Lots of people do like their music and there's nothing wrong with that.
Metric is highly acclaimed, have gone Platinum on two albums, won a Juno, were nominated for the Polaris prize, and have won best Alternative album.

I don't like Nickelback but you don't hear me bitching about how much Nickelback sucks when I easily could so how about you STFU.
