Put me in the category of people that think singing anthems before games is dumb. I would love to see the Flames start the trend of ending anthems. Like, probably about half the guys actually playing in the game aren't from the country of the anthem being sung so they don't really care. Half the people in the crowd are just staring at their beer waiting for the anthem to finish so they can take a sip. I don't feel any more Canadian or patriotic after the anthem. If someone does feel that way then I guess I have to question their actual level of patriotism if singing a song before watching a hockey game affects that in any significant way.
