Hockey fans in America weren't excited with the Canadian National Anthem tonight, as they let the audience at home know how they felt.
The hockey fans in TD Garden tonight let Team Canada know how they felt about them.
UPDATE:
During the start of the 4 Nations Face-Off championship, what could be a weird mixture of fans from Canada, the US, and the world?
That mixed crowd let the boos be heard loud and clear tonight while "O Canada" was sung in the original-six arena.
Was it the poor singing, or the rivalry going on between the two-nations?
One specific Canadian fan believes that the boos down-poured due to her performance, have a look:
The booing of the National Anthem has been a trend that started in Canada before the NHL break due to geopolitical tensions that have been felt across the globe.
Now tonight, fans in Boston felt that they needed to one-up their Canadian counterparts with a rain of boos.
Only a few fans would join in to sign the anthem itself.
The booing is only part of the political backdrop which has seen itself manifest on the ice.
The first match between the two teams was fiery. During the 1st period on February 15th's game between Canada and the USA, there were a total of three fights which included Brady and Matthew Tkachuk, plus JT Miller from the USA, and Brandon Hagel, Colton Parayko, and Sam Bennett.
Team USA would come out ahead, 3-1 in what was a brutal match.
The USA set the tone at the start of the night and would control the ice afterward.
Now, tonight Canada has a chance to reclaim their glory and win the big game against Matthew Tkachuk, and a team that is without Auston Matthews, and Charlie McAvoy.
While Canada still has all of their superstars intact.
Can the boos silence Canada's game, in what could be considered for all intents and purposes a "Game 7" atmosphere?
