"As singer Cami Clune began her rendition of 'O Canada' at KeyBank Center, the microphone started to intermittently cut out. Sensing this, Buffalo fans quickly rallied to sing along with Clune. The result was a moving display of a U.S. crowd belting out the Canadian anthem."
"The game ended in a disappointment for the home crowd, as the Bruins emerged victorious 2-1 in overtime to prolong the series. Yet Sabres fans have acquitted themselves quite well since stepping back into the NHL's postseason spotlight."
"The crowd's display continues a stirring tradition of NHL fans periodically taking the anthem into their own hands at various moments. Edmonton Oilers fans collectively covered a faulty mic in 2017, singing a rousing rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner."
"For Bruins fans, one of the more emotional moments following the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 was Rene Rancourt letting the crowd lead in the singing of the anthem. The decision to defer to the collective voice within TD Garden remains iconic."
