Buffalo Sabres
Fans Belt Out ‘O Canada’
… After Singer’s Mic Issues
Published
No mic, no problem — Buffalo Sabres fans had an all-time assist when a national anthem singer’s performance was rocked with technical issues … ‘cause the whole crowd joined in to belt out “O Canada.”
The blooper-turned-highlight went down ahead of Game 5 on Tuesday night at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo … as “The Voice” alum Cami Clune started a beautiful rendition of the song.
Just a few words into it, her mic gave out … but the thousands in attendance had her back.
By the end of the anthem, it was like a choir was brought in to perform … and it’s honestly goosebump-worthy.
The moment of unity didn’t result in a win for the home team, though — the Boston Bruins were able to snag the dub in overtime to bring the series to 3-2 in favor of the Sabres.
Side note — why the Canadian anthem for two American teams?? The Sabres always do it no matter the opponent due to their proximity to the North … and they have a bunch of Canadian fans.
There have been plenty of viral anthems over the years — for good and bad reasons — but this one is certainly positive.
