Maple Leafs Take Up the Slack

[Sarah G]

The Nashville Predators visited the Toronto Maple Leafs Tuesday night, and during the performance of the Star-Spangled Banner, the microphone cut out. Almost immediately, the crowd in the Air Canada Centre joined in to finish the final few lines. The organist followed up by performing O Canada, and the Predators went on to win 9-2.

If the roles were reversed, how many Tennesseans could finish off O Canada? We’re guessing less than 5% of the crowd.

Our neighbors to the North are such a classy bunch.

It isn't about me hating America its about Canada loving America. But then stupid you wouldn't be able to figure it out.

What insult. You have a problem with it because you hate Canada. Old Repub grudges make it difficult for your types to focus sometimes.

I Love Canada and I hate TPers. So there, TPer.

Hockey fans are the best!

I like hockey but not the one which is played on the ice. Yet, I think I like O Canada. It is a beautiful song.

There are two versions of it.

Official English version:

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Translation of official French version:

O Canada!
Land of our forefathers,
Thy brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of flowers.
As is thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
Thy history is an epic
Of the most brilliant exploits.
Thy valor steeped in faith
Will protect our homes and our rights
Will protect our homes and our rights

Jean Belevue, one of the all-time greats, just died.

Canada is in mourning. I don't think I've ever heard a bad word spoken about the man.
