Put me down as who the hell cares. As long as they're not overly dramatic and/or long.

Outside of sports, how often do you actually hear the Canadian anthem? I'd rather keep them in rather than having a whole generation of kids who don't know the words to O Canada because they hardly ever hear it

Do they not sing it in school anymore? That's where I learned it.

I enjoy the anthems at the games. Not so much for the patriotic aspect but more so just for the tradition. It's chilling during the playoffs. The calm before the storm. I think it gets the crowd and the players fired up. I'd definitely vote to send Canyon packing though. Country singer is terrible.

My favorite singer is probably Jim Cornelison in Chicago. Dude can seriously belt it out. Tell me an anthem like that doesn't get the crowd into the game.



I don't mind George Canyonero that much, but Heather was much better IMO.

That's like saying Calgary made the playoffs every year Bollig was on the team.

They made the playoffs every time they traded Baertschi.

George has a good singing voice, I generally enjoy his content.

But there was something off or wrong with the anthem singing this year. I think the accompanying organ made it sound like a 1997 ringtone.

He should just sing it with no music methinks.

I know at the time it was supposed to just be a 1 year thing, but I haven't heard anything since

I don't know if it was just because it was the playoffs and everything was so awesome...but I found George was 100x better in the playoffs with a little emotion.

Barf. Why not get Jann Arden? I'm sure she's looking for something to do these days.

There was a woman singing at the preseason game v. the Canucks whose voice was not bad (but super slow).

I think the weak link is the organist on that song (I know everyone loves him during the game for his video game snippets),

I thought the pre-season girl was doing a decent job, if not a bit over dramatic.
