The four-country showdown is over, but the anthem boo continues.
New York Rangers fans booed the song oCanada Before the match against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night.
The booing trend began on February 1st, when Ottawa fans booed the US national anthem before the match against the Minnesota Wild. After Canadian hockey fans booed the US, Canadian basketball fans picked up the trend by booing the Los Angeles Clippers before a game against the Toronto Raptors.
The national anthem war certainly didn't cool down during the four-country showdown that US and Canada faced twice. On a particularly loud night in Montreal, we saw Team USA and Canada drop their gloves in the first nine seconds and competed in the third round after a thorough booing of the US national anthem.
On the same day President Trump signed an executive order placing tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, Booing Come also joked on social media that Canada will be “51st state.”
The Rangers lost to the Maple Leafs, 3-2.
