just a useless waste of time
Seriously. Get rid of them.
We know what country we're in.

Can you prove that bullshit theory?Add me in to the group who thinks the national anthem is stupid
The government pays the league to sing them, that's silly

I don’t know — I still like the flow.Guys that still go without a helmet in warmups
nobody cares that much about your hair.
Booing Bettman is a tradition in itself tbhPutting personal feelings aside on Bettman's tenure, he really should delegate the Stanley Cup hand-off to a more generally-liked (or innocuous) representative. Him getting booed every year just adds this awkward dynamic to an otherwise magical moment.
On top of 30% of the league not being Canadian/American, I just dont see the point. Its so repetitive to do it before EVERY single game. Not a big fan of patriotism either.
I mean this isnt the Olympics, no team is representing a nation.
That was a call back to Scott Mellanby. Legend has it that he killed a rat in the locker room with his stick and proceeded to core two goals that night with that stick. And so a ritual was born.Best: Panthers fans tossing rats on the ice after wins. It’s from a fun early year where we went to the Finals.
Worst: chanting a goalie’s name and saying it’s all his fault after a goal if you’re not Nashville. Not a big fan of them doing it, but I’ve seen other teams’ fans doing it. That’s their thing.
same to you and your opinion. See how that works?What a sorry world we’ve created, where this is a common opinion.

Long time Panther fan, I know the story well. Glad the tradition is still being carried on.That was a call back to Scott Mellanby. Legend has it that he killed a rat in the locker room with his stick and proceeded to core two goals that night with that stick. And so a ritual was born.
I’ll happily stand and virtue signal tf outta the anthemSinging the anthem before every game is just virtue signalling. If you pay your taxes, if you're a good neighbour, if you're well involved in your community, etc., then you're probably a decent Canadian/American. We don't need a song to affirm that.
When the heck did someone manage to sneak a live octopus into a hockey game?The Octopus toss is one of the worst, especially the idiots who threw a live one on the ice.
I do agree the rookie lap is cool and I am a fan of the teams giving funny hats to the best player of the game to wear in postgame interviews.
Nah Bettman is a legit piece of shit that panders to the boys club and has no f***ing spine. He's a pathetic weasel that refuses to let the job go and sticks around like some skin tag you want to remove but keep forgetting and then realize oh crap it's still there. He deserves to get booed and I hope they start throwing expired veggies and used diapers at him.Booing Bettman is old. Like, I get he's not liked and he does a good job being the "villian" at the draft but these days I feel the Booing is just for the sake of booing without understanding why he's being booed. Just let it die.

It could be like India, where they play it before every movie as well.
In fact why isn't the anthem played before everything always? Why limit it to sports only?
