Montreal fans boo American Anthem before game.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but come on! Do they think we don't care or won't remember that? |

yea that is pretty disgusting, but it ain't the first time it has happened. I remember the Canadian athem being booed at in last years playoffs at a leafs Isles game. this really has to stop, such a lack of respect. Some might argue it was a form of anti-war protest, if so I don't think it was the smartest way to reach that message.

Yeah, fans in Atlanta should be ashamed too. At least there was an apology issued by both sides. I'm glad because I was just about to boycott Molson and Labatts.  |
