i felt embarrassed to be among people who showed such disrespect. i was very sad to discover that there are some blues “fans” who are not respectful and sportsmanlike. just like coach heineman always said, “if were gonna go down, were gonna go down with class”

Drunk or not, you speak words of truth, Patel

I can’t see how you could boo during it

I was amazed as much respect people gave the anthem. I was at the game and people cheered for that damn anthem.

seemed like maybe 3 people in 20,000+

Anybody who boos another national anthem has no class at all. I couldn’t believe it when I heard it on TV. We’re supposed to be the best sports city in America, and if our fans keep this up, it’s not going to last long.
I wish we’d actually sing along with our anthem, like they do in Canada. You should have pride in your own country, not have to bash another. I mean, if you want to hate another country, hate N.Korea, not Canada.

Not only is it classless, but it’s just moronic. I mean, did these people forget that half the guys on our team are from Canada?

I hate when people don’t respect other traditions or each other.

I’m the type of fan that will agnolige a great play by an opposing player and I expect my sons to do the same. They hear me cheering players on their opposition soccer and little league teams when they make a good play.

It’s not about sports, it’s about sportsmanship.

If someone near me boos Oh Canada on Tuesday . . . let’s just say I have sharp elbows and they might be put to use.

It’s a shame that there are idiots in every crowd. Hopefully the Canucks’ fans won’t respond but there will be some jackasses that do.

And yes, I expect them to get a chance to respond.

i was disappointed at this as well — I’m glad it didn’t catch fire into a house FULL of boos.
any desecration of any anthem’s not cool … but this is coming from the guy who still gets a little perturbed when everyone yells BLUES after charles sings “home of the” … and i get REALLY pissed at stars fans for screaming STARS every time the word is sung in dallas. the anthem isnt about hockey, guys. i’m still on the fence as far as chicago clapping all the way through. but i’ll lean on the side of fuck them because they’re from chicago.

and you know the assholes who boo the Canadian anthem are the same ones who yell things like “SHOOT IT!” at happy meal when ohlund is sprawled on the ice two feet in front of him. hey, anthem-booing dicks: lesson one — class. lesson two — hockey.

America the Beatiful a much better choice for the National Anthem. Easier to sing too! ;)

I actually found myself having to say outloud “Don’t boo their anthem” to quiet down some assholes in my section. Show some fucking class.

I really didn’t expect to hear it in St.Louis. But it unfortunately can happen anywhere.

Normally the people doing it are the same morons that real fans watch hop on and off the bandwagon every year. It’s a small percentage , and by large Blues fans have been pretty classy (you must be far enough away from Detroit).

I’d be really surprised to hear it the next game, but if it does, this forum alone shows where the attitude of thr real fans is at.

I pray that if it comes back to Vancouver, which any hockey fan fan expected it to all along, you won’t here the same thing here. If I do, I will personally slap the bandwagon jumping retard upside their head.

But I really don’t care for anthems at the beginning of sporting events. It shouldn’t take a mandatory anthem before a game to get people to acknowledge that they live in a free country.

I really don’t like O Canada to begin with… I’ll make fun of it, sure, but booing it is classless and lame. Remember Canada isn’t a real country anyway.

But I do I hate Dallas fans for screaming STARS during those parts of the anthem.

Remember Canada isn’t a real country anyway.

Yeah, it’s more like utopia.

great post.
i must say, i watched the game on tv, i saw the anthems being sung, and i did hear booing.
it is disrespectful to boo other national anthems.

now we just need those silly habs to stop booing…

As a Canadian, who has been cheering on the Blues to beat the Canucks (because if anyone brings the Cup back to Canada it should be the Leafs) it is good to see that this was the actions of a minority of classless fans.

Or at least very little. I think this is being blown out of proportion. In any case, I was at both home games and didn’t hear any booing or anything that registered as disrespectful.

because the Canucks players started to skate off their blue line before the last line was even sung… now that’s disrespectful.

I was shocked and speechless when I heard this happen on Sunday and tonight, again. I spoke with Charles Glenn about this fact on the phone this afternoon. He said, “Sunday night, I wanted to stop in the middle and make a statement about their show of disrespect. I was embarrassed by it.” C’mon now, how can you hate a country’s national anthem just because you don’t like a particular team. A great passage for you guys…"Better to be thought of as immature, classless and moronic assholes…than to open your mouths and REMOVE ALL DOUBT!!!

are the only ones i’d seen do this kond of crap before this. As a canadian, who cares?
LETS GO BLUES! Next Year Baby!
