Amazing! Well done Edmonton fans

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Wonder if this would ever happen in Montreal.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

You guys are a bunch of ****ing beauties

 

[playasRus]

I feel like the same thing happened a few years back, in Vancouver? Maybe not playoff atmosphere though.

 

[karnige]

edmontons building is the best these playoffs. easily. the atmosphere is bone chilling

Good job, Canada. I wish I knew if my country would do the same... I'm afraid of the answer...

Pretty cool though. I always enjoy these types of things.

 

[Senacus Maximus]

Love it! Would have enjoyed being there for that

You never know, listening to both anthems before every game(as long as both countries are involved) has a funny way of teaching you the anthem of your neighbour.

Absolutely loveeee stuff like this. I remember when Toronto did this when Nashville was up there a year or so ago.

Good job by the fans. If my preds don't make it to the SCF i'm definitely pulling for Edmonton

 

[LarKing]

Well done by the fans there. Really nice to see some of the players joining in as well.

 

[Dorian2]

I wasn't there, but I stood for the entire thing. The family was singing it with the crowd!

Toronto last year as well. I'm sure there have been a few others.

 

[PensPlz]

Ok. This makes me hate Edmonton just a little bit less.

That was awesome and gained a lot of my respect. I'm impressed that so many knew the words, but I suppose that they hear the anthem so often, at every game except between two Canadian teams, that they can't help but memorize it. Even still, they didn't need to sing it or could've done a weak job of it. I'm most impressed.

Good job, Canada. I wish I knew if my country would do the same... I'm afraid of the answer...

I'm sure that Americans who know the words would do the same, but there are likely fewer who know them all, if only because we don't hear it nearly as often as Canadians hear ours (and, at least on TV, it's not always fully in English). I'd love the opportunity to sing "O Canada." I actually find it the more enjoyable anthem to sing, since The Star-Spangled Banner is notoriously difficult. In fact, come to think of it, we Americans don't really sing our own anthem very much (we mostly just mouth or whisper the words and pretend that we're singing along), likely because of the difficulty, so it's even more impressive that the Oilers fans actually sang it.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Should have just shouted "USA! USA! USA!" mindlessly for 30 seconds

 

[StrangeVision]

That is really cool.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Breathtaking moment. Can't beat those fans when it comes to singing anthems.

 

[playasRus]

Love it! Would have enjoyed being there for that

They usually play the lyrics on the jumbotron or on the LCD strip around the rink in Ottawa. Lets us sing along

I think it was in Toronto against Nashville and those guys repaid us by blowing us out (which we didn't mind because we were tanking).
