Does it bother you when people start applause early in the American national anthem? I mean, I get it, "land of the free" ends in a high note, and whatever diva is singing it usually gets to show off a bit. But the anthem goes on for another line. And when people applaud and cheer it sets off talking and settling down. There's still another line left! Stand back up! Put your hand back on your heart! Can someone please tell me that they feel the same way? Sorry, I just got a little carried away. It only bothers me a little, but it's fun to rant every now and then, isn't it? I do sing it all the way through, though, just so we can make a good impression for people from other countries.

As an American I thought that not playing the Canadian anthem at the game in London was wrong, your opinion? I thought the NHL (who makes the rules) would have made sure that the Canadian anthem was played as well in todays game. they did play the anthems of both the UK and USA. I realize that both teams were American and the game was played in London, but aren't the teams representing the NHL? and the NHL is comprised of teams in Canada and the USA. In my opinion just another unclassy act by gary Bettman and the NHL. I've heard the NHL was very instrumental in all aspects of the games and that would include the anthems. Also the fact the majority of players are Canadian should have swayed the powers to be that for this game all 3 anthems should have been played. Most of you are missing the main point. The 2 teams, though being from American cities are representing the NHL and the NHL is in the USA and Canada. In this case I think proper procedure would have been to play both anthems of the countries the NHL is played in. But I guess that if it didn't bother the players or any Canadian sports announcers, who cares LOL

Why was the British booing the American national anthem such a big deal? Yes it was rude but these things happen, go to Europe and watch an international soccer match and it happens all the time.

It's a soccer thing and most of the hatton fans were soccer fans, it happens everywhere(apart from Us and canada). you guys should come to europe, in italy or eastern europe the fans are even more hostile i aint british, european but not british
