The bruins aren't my favorite team in the NHL, but Rene Rancourt is definitely the best anthem singer in the NHL.

Met Rene at a signing he did in Springfield. Dude let me wear his Cup ring for the picture we took. He's as genuine as he seems. Hope he's enjoying his retirement

You weren’t at a bruins game until Rene Rancourt sang the anthem. Bruins fans my age don’t know anyone but him kicking off a game with the stump pump!!! Most iconic moment definitely had to be after the marathon bombing, and he only sang 5 words, he knew enough to let that moment take over. His first anthem gig in Boston.., game 5 of the 75 World Series.....the Fisk homer game!!!

Bruins suck!!!! Glad you lost. Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you suck!!, Not a single classy player in the organisation. Well, maybe Chara. Seems to be getting softer in his old age. Nah, he sucks too!
