Edmonton Oiler Fans finish singing US anthem after mic stopped working

When the mic doesn’t work, the crowd takes over and belts out The Star-Spangled Banner...
...In Edmonton.
🇺🇲🇨🇦

[@dixonb.tweenerlegs5291]

Not only do the Oilers fans sing the American national anthem, a flames fan posts it for everyone to see. It's great to be Canadian!

[@ofcgow]

Dixon B. Tweenerlegs Never been prouder myself 😀

[@chublub4982]

Dixon B. Tweenerlegs omfg, try going to a jets game, no class whatsoever. They boo the us anthem after it ends

[@sirg-had8821]

Thank you to Canada. Many times over.

[@JonathanSorenson204]

As a jets fan, I can say I've never heard that in my life. Montreal maybe, not Winnipeg.

Friggin rights, it is!

They'd have to learn the American anthem first!

This was disgraceful as a Canadian

[@GhostOfKotori]

@Proton1 I already learned the Canadian anthem and I'm American boi. RESPECT 🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@damien4246]

There are two kinds of crowds, one that throws bottles, hats, and other things into the ice. And there is one that will sing the anthem of the opponent's team. Well done to the crowd.

[@johnsanford4631]

I think they're supposed to throw hats if a player score three goals? I get what you mean though

[@JohnDoe-gn5bc]

I think you're supposed to throw an octopus if you are at a Detroit playoff game.

[@bambamnj]

They're even better than that. After knocking your teeth out they pick them up hand them back to you and apologize for doing it. Of course, they'll hit you again if you are in their way while trying to score, but hey, that's the way the game is played.

Imagine how touched the Ducks must have been for the Oilers fans to sing their national anthem. This shows the love and respect between the USA and Canada. As an American, this warms my heart.

We have family living in Washington, D.C. When they showed us various points of interests a must see was the Vietnam War Memorial--the Wall. Even though I am Canadian to see all those 50,000 plus names inscribed on that wall got to me emotionally--I wept.

[@ritorevolto8309]

[@jiminycricket2976]

Funny coming from a Quebecois.Ever time I go through Quebec as soon as people realize I spoke English I was treated like crap.French people from Quebec are some of the most ignorant people I have ever met.Any anglo who has been there will attest to the dislike of non French.

[@ejbinette]

Please don't generalize. I do not know where you went, but the people here surrounding me, ie. my family, neighbours, friends, are not intolerant and narrow-minded like you described. Are there ingnorant and bigoted people in Quebec? Sure, as are anywhere in the world. But your generalization is hurtful and discouraging to us that appreciate all of Canada.

[@davescuderi3494]

Full respect to the Canadian audience there’s not a lot of nations that will do this 👌🏼❤️🙏
