I'll miss him rushing through the anthem.

Ideally the Flames would lead the charge in ditching anthems altogether.

I did that..

Why? Because it seemed like a logical fit rather than starting a new thread. Same idea...different day. No?

(Don't we have about 27,398,652 threads on E=NG. This isn't that complex....)

It actually has interested me that CP is so against making new threads. Mega threads are the worst

It's give and take. There are threads that shouldn't be created since it's redundant or mainly irrelevant. This is where CP is good at limiting those.

But for a topic that changes the dynamic of the thread, such as this one, this is where CP is too hesitant on making a new discussion since the thread creation topic is now outdated and doesn't fit within the context. It's been years he's been the signer. He's not the new anthem singer anymore, and in fact may be the old one at this point.

No more country singers. It’s never been better than Susan Smith. We don’t need anymore “stars”. Do a competition and get a powerful voiced singer that does a great job and gets the crowd into it. Canyon’s rendition was embarrassing.

Nah. More stars. More twang. The only people really “getting into” a “powerful voiced” Canadian anthem are the geriatric crowd. “My word, Jack, this anthem has given me the feels! It reminds me of how patriotic I felt during the War of 1812.”

Canyon’s was the best it’s ever been. Quick and dirty with minimal flair.

If I have to hear another anthem singer who wants to hold a note for a few seconds and show us the pipes every time, I’d rather we just cancel the thing all-together.

Yup. This isn’t your big break. Everyone is here to watch a hockey game. Just sing the song and leave.

You have to laugh at PepsiFree

How many years has it been with George and Heather before, plus I'm not sure who was between Heather and Susan but Its not like we have a history of embellishing singers. Not even close
