I was saying "Boo-urns".

So San Jose fans booed the Canadian national anthem on Sunday night. I'm surprised, not by the booing, but the fact it took so long to notice: the same Shark Tank faithful gave "O Canada" a chorus of boos in Game One. Ask anyone who was in the Underdog for that one, they'll tell you.

But, really: who fucking cares? I don't even know why they bother with the anthems at NHL games. Given the international flavour of the game these days, choosing to sing just two anthems isn't representative of the players. And, more than that, it's just silly and archaic. Ditch 'em.
