I was like, it was ok, but it wasn't something special that deserves the hype that its getting. With the exception of Montreal most fanbases would do the same thing. Montreal of course would boo the crap out of the US Anthem being sung.
I just thought it was peculiar that the mic failed right at the start and he went right to the hand gestures and then like a miracle from god they came back up for the Canadian National Anthem.
I probably wouldn't put it past the attention whore obsessed Oilers ownership and management team to have done this as a stunt.
It was ok, but its not this amazingly cool er me gerd moment.
I tend to think that the anthem singer almost killing himself on his skates was cooler.
