The real pressing question is, who the fuck plays a national anthem for anything other national teams? How deranged of a society one has to live in to think this kind of brainwashing is normal. Holy Dr House, It's collective dementia.

It's just what they do in the NHL. Any time a US and Canadian team play each other, they play both anthems. You know, out of the mutual respect we felt for each other until about two days ago.

Idk I don’t think most Canadians have ever had much respect for Americans.

Well we have respect for them, it's fine if they don't reciprocate.
