During last night's pre-game ceremonies before the US 5-4 win in Quebec city, "singer" Carol Marcil (daughter of Hockey Quebec head Rene Marcil) forgot the words to the Star Spangled Banner (twice) and then after running off to get a cue card took a Chevy Chase style pratfall before leaving without completing the anthem.
Three lessons from this:
1. Singers should know the words to the song (or at least have a good lip-synch engineer - NOTE do not use someone from Ashlee Simpson's crew);
2. Nepotism does not pay; and
3. Anthem singers should NOT wear high heels on the ice.
Marty Brodeur's take on the whole proceedings????
"You've got to give her credit, she came back twice and fell once," he said with a laugh. "It's definitely a different way to start a hockey game than we're used to.
"There was a little bit of humour involved. It was just too bad for her. I was just thinking that I hope she's not on Canadian Idol."
