Maybe it was because the dome was less than half full when the anthem was being played, but I thought George's rendition of Oh Canada lacked the enthusiasm and excitement that I think is needed in an anthem singer.
Did he sing the anthem without missing a word or falling down? Yes
Does he resemble Calgary's culture (assuming they want to portray that culture as 'cowboy')? Yes
Other than those two check marks, I don't see what else was good about that performance. Couldn't imagine a playoff game opening with that low toned dreary voice.
