Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted March 25, 2012 Crosby and Staal were holding back smiles, while Erik Karlsson simply could not Even people in the stands appeared to be laughing at her. Nice voice, but opera singers should stay away from hockey rinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miksteri 55 Report post Posted March 25, 2012 Thank goodness the national anthem is sung only pre playoff games here in finland, no anthem during the regular season which should be the way in NHL too. 3 Red Wings Addict, Jersey Wing and markaswell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted March 25, 2012 Well that's what happens when you bring in someone from RuPaul's Drag Race to sing the National Anthems before a game I guess. 2 NotTooAbby reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted March 25, 2012 I love the way they do it in Tampa Bay--no anthem singer, just an organ with the words on the jumbo tron and everyone sings it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blueliner 69 Report post Posted March 25, 2012 The flag the was being passed around wasn't even made before she started singing. I think someone got bored and just made it with plenty of time to spare. 1 lookalive07 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted March 25, 2012 I like how the reaction from both the players and the crowd seems to be a combination of laughter and "are we being punked?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Completely classless with the "let me hear you" during O Canada. I don't have a problem with opera singers doing the anthems, as I've heard many of them perform them well and with the respect and dignity the songs deserve. I've also heard far too many "vocalists" from all genres turn the national anthems into exercises in musical masturbation. This one's vibrato, however, was beyond obnoxious. If a soprano was to sing like that for any of the honors chorus auditions I've been involved with she wouldn't qualify for districts, let alone regions or all states. While being part of a chorus is different than being a soloist, vibrato wide enough to drive a semi truck through that detracts from the performance is never acceptable. /music teacher mode Edited March 25, 2012 by TheXym 3 55fan, DatsyukianDangles122 and troubadour reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 It's weird, normally after long delays to start the game they let the players take another short warm up.. lucky no one pulled a groin after that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 I love the way they do it in Tampa Bay--no anthem singer, just an organ with the words on the jumbo tron and everyone sings it. I'm a Karen Newman fan, but I'd rather it be done organ style and the fans just sing a long. I would think the players would appreciate if the anthems were sung at regular speed, so they can get the game started! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
