When Toronto fans finished the U.S. national anthem after the singer's microphone crapped out before the Leafs' home game against Nashville, we were all impressed. Oh, those classy Canadians!
Would American hockey fans have done that? I'd like to think so, but do American hockey fans even know the lyrics to "O Canada"?
Just in case, here is the first stanza:
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.
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.
P.S. When I first heard the Canadian national anthem, I swore that it sounded like, "We stand on God for thee."
