- November 18, 2014, leafs vs nashville predators. The mic cut out partway through the us national anthem and the Canadian fans took it from there!
I happened to be filming the anthem because I have 2 daughters, 2 and 4 years old who always stand up with me and sing both countries anthems when we are watching the games from home on TV, so since I had the chance to watch a game live, I thought I'd record it for them to see later at home. Turns out it was a feel good moment for Canadians and Americans, and I'm glad I caught it on video and could share it!
Eric Bosman
That is the most Canadian thing we could have done. I love Canada.
Canadians are just the most friendly people in the world! Greetings from Germany.
So True, eh?
From one border to the other - El Paso, Texas loves you Canada! 🏜️♥️
Canadiens are special, and I mean that it the best way possible. We couldn't ask for better neighbors, speaking as someone who lives below the 49th Parallel. O Canada is the only other national anthem I've made an effort to learn, other than Mel Brook's "Let them all go to hell, except cave 76" anthem, but that one is hard to forget from his 2,000 year-old man albums.
So do i.
We got you America
+Michael Newell
But you're both America.
+ZeD lol
+Michael Newell You're a good hat.
+Michael Newell Can we get your new PM?
+ZeD I understand it was a joke but america is just another way of saying our countries name just like mexico.
If that's not brotherhood, I don't know what is.
+magmablock - Yeah. Canada is like the older, more responsible brother. Even though his younger brother is a selfish, spoiled piece of shit, he still treats him with respect, because it's the decent thing to do. Thanks Canada. Somebody we'll be all growed up, just like you.
America would be the "selfish older brother".
Scott K Wow! That is pretty accurate.
Nah, they were probably there to watch the Canadian team beat up (literally) the American team.
and the cancerous comment of the day! only meant to incite argument.
American Veteran here. Our Canadian brothers and sisters are a very kind and loyal people. I will bare arms to protect and defend.
Protect from who? Its 2021 for gods sake and nobodys going to invade canada or the us. The whole us military is just pointless.
Protect from who? Well, Canada has already been destroyed, or very close thereof (along with USA and much of the world), via the infiltration. th-cam.com/video/8Jb8KqaerhQ/w-d-xo.html

Respect, thank you for your service , sir.
This was a very heartfelt thing to say, thank you and thank you for your service. We appreciate you.
Very kind of you to say.
This is why I will always have respect for Canada
Same here.
+winetaster13 they finished our anthem, can't you respect them? I mean, not all Canadians hate America. Your trying to say something you don't know. If a certaim group hates us, then that group hates us, not all of the people from that place do.
@winetarder13 Funny how the only respectful Canadian Anthem is sang only in Montreal where we do half french half english whereas the rest of the country only sings it in english. So how about you go fuck yourself you fucking bigot.

+Xycron I swear seeing as how america always makes fun of canada and canada always being so nice and generous it's 1:1 a Homer Simpson - Ned Flanders realtionship
Canada and USA are like siblings, we trash each other constantly, get into the occasional fight, but God help anyone that fucks with either one of us.
your right
Jack Bocock Leave Quebec out of this they boo everyone
That's bang on! Couldn't of put it any better.
Jack Bocock love you bro
The fist part is like my siblings and I. I have 3 other Siblings we fight every now and then but we will always have Each-others back.
Not Canadian, I’m American. but I would defend that beautiful Red Maple leaf crested flag with everything I have. The second I hear O Canada I’m on my feet, hand over heart. Long live Canada.
Thanks buddy. We love our family to the south.
Man that was a nice thing for you to say.
Agreed. Canada, to me, is just family under a different flag.
That means a lot . We love everyone just not as much as our family to the south
Long Live the United States of America. Here's to a thousand years of the greatest friendship in history.
This still makes me super emotional and super proud to be a Canadian 🇨🇦🇺🇸
I love Canada! From the US :)
Julie Delahooke yeah everyone is the same even from different countries I'm proud to be a brother of you
Julie Delahooke I'd gladly put my life on the line with a brother or sister to the north.
cincysilvia8807 I have respect for you proud bro
Julie Delahooke I hate Canadian
I'm overwhelmed by all the positive comments, feedback and publicity my video has received over the last few days. It has certainly hit home for many people and I hope it continues to encourage and inspire all to be neighborly and helpful no matter what situation you find yourself in!
I'm a grown ass man and this made me tear up. We love you too, Canada :)
doctordank Tears flowing eh..!.
Most people fear public speaking, as well, and singing or not, one can commiserate with that lone person up there, in front of everyone (at first, did she forget the lines? Then it becomes obvious it is technical difficulty, but they are there to help the poor soul).
It's fucking brilliant. I'm tearing up and can't see the screen. I know it was just a funny thing, but it is beautiful for us. Thank you.
Thank You!
I am German.. this has nothing to do with me.. but I got chills.. i love you Canadians

@@StephenASmithESPN Sucks to be you bringing ethnicity (basically racism) to the comments. Shameful you are. Showing your true colours, and yes I did spell "colours" correctly as I'm English before you complain about that. Had to point out how sad you must be.

Toronto > Montreal for this.
I bet you 80 percent of leafs fans aren't from Toronto they come from the GTA and suburbs
@@derick3482they come from across the province and nation. It doesn’t matter though. When an artist comes to a city, they’ll say “thank you (city name)” at the end even though a lot of those people are from outside the city
Thank you Canadians, you guys are great people. Excuse me, I now must go learn the Canadian national anthem.
Lol
YES! Our family wants to learn it as well!!!
I think it starts with oh Canada.

Lol, me too. And I have lived here all 47 of my years. We know the Star Spangled Banner so well from sporting events on TV.
Because THAT'S what you do when you're Canadian.
Yep it’s part of the Canadian identity and culture.
Ohh yaaa
I was an American working in Canada right after 9-11. I commuted from south east Michigan to Windsor Ontario almost daily. The first time I crossed into Windsor after the attack, I was overcome by emotion. The cabs, trucks, and private cars were flying small American flags in support of their American neighbors to the north. (Yes, I said north. Windsor is directly south of Detroit Michigan.) I worked a lot in Canada, and quickly fell in love with the country and it's people. This action by the Toronto fans is just another example of "loving thy neighbor."
I am from Ontario, and I was 15 then and still remember the outpouring of support for our amazing neighbours. I will never forget the reciprocal gratitude displayed. Love from Canada🇨🇦

We Canadians truly love our American neighbors. We all need to stick together
@@smallfringeminority6499 Especially through times like these where this world is so divided.
I was working at major coffee shop down by the conference centre in Vancouver BC and we decided to wear US flag pins and some were US/Canada flag pins to commemorate 9/11 in 2002. No big deal. HIgh percentage of American customers come in every day. One business gentleman asked about one I was wearing, so shared a bit of how I felt it was important, and how it impacted so many people, and lots of ppl come in from the US here and hope ppl know that we care. Kind of nodded in agreement, then walked off and waited for his drink. Some ppl cleared out and he came back and explained teary eyed and holding back full-on crying that such a small gesture has made a big impact on him being away from home for the first anniversary, and wanted to tell us how special it was to him to see being in an entirely different country. I still remember the sincerity, and seriousness of him coming back to explain how much it meant. Gives me goosebumps and teary eyes myself.
My little brother and I traveled three hours to get to this hockey game, the first hour we were driving through white-out snowstorm conditions. Unfortunately the game was terrible (9 - 2 loss for the leafs). This anthem really was probably the best moment of the night (although the free beer samples were great too!). Glad I caught it on video.
I used to make fun of Canadians, until I started playing NHL on Xbox.(Really the only true manly sports left outside of Rugby because of rule change sin all other sports). Over the years I made some good friends across the border. We have argued about gun rights, weed, healthcare, sports, ect..., but always suited up to battle in OTP games. So cheers to Canada, one of the few countries I would take pride in defending. Great video man.
Free beer samples during a driving snow storm to fans who'll be driving home in it shortly...love Canada lol
Oh wait, it gets even more Canadian...I took this video on a Blackberry!
So glad everyone gets to see the heart of Toronto ^_^
joe smo Baseballs always gonna be manly as fuck man. What could be more manly then trying to hit a rock as hard as you can with a stick?
As a proud American veteran, I am humbled.
Canadian's love our brothers and sisters to the south of us.
I'm Australian and I teared up at this.

@@MotionMcAnixx I was cutting onions with a bug in my eye...but without onions nah I'm all crap I was crying 😭
WOW!!!!!!!! The stereotype of Canadians being f#$king awesome is true! Good folk right there!!!!!!!
Lol, I know right? I learned the American anthem a while ago, at first because I thought "man, americans don't even know our anthem" and then I realized "I don't know theirs". So it was half so I wouldn't look ignorant, but the american anthem is f***ing beautiful, like, probably even better than ours. (Wow, how Canadian: depreciating myself to make others feel good about themselves)
Hannah Pilkey Respect to you man. I can't even judge any anthem without having HUGE bias. Because my patriotism towards U.S is to strong. Thanks for being a great neighborhood though.
Thank youuu!!!!!!!!!
I just found this beauty of a show called "Letterkenny" and I gotta say it makes Canadians seem so damned nice. And thats with them saying some variant of "Fuck" every other sentence.
I know, eh. You guys are pretty awesome too.🇨🇦
What did we do to deserve you Canada? Best neighbors and friends we could ever ask for. I never cry and this brought a tear to my eye. Amazing people absolutely great.
Right! those are the best neighbors ever! I agree they are truly amazing!
You are our neighbors. it is the least we can do for our buddies!
I shed a tear as well! From a Canadian living in France...God Bless America :-)
True that. Canada seems to understand integrity and respect than a lot of Americans. I feel ashamed of that sometimes.
I know the words to the Canadian national anthem, and I'm a right-leaning American. I'm not well versed in making and uploading my own videos or id be glad to prove it lol. O' Canada, AMERICA stands on guard for YOU.
As a Brit, I stand on guard for Canada and America, our two best friends in the world :)
My dad was a massive Toronto Maple Leafs fan...and I know he is in heaven BEAMING with CANADIAN PRIDE.
Darn you Canada!! Now I have to learn your National anthem too. Respect. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
You better. lol This was a national emergency for hockey fans.
Go with O Canada classic!
Respect 🇨🇦🎈👍🇺🇸
Well, to be fair, every Blue Jay and Raptor game has the US national anthem and most Canadiens, Senators, Maple Leafs, Jets, Oilers, Flames and Canucks games have it too, not to mention the times we hear it watching US tv and movies, so most Canadians have heard your anthem almost as often as our own.

Sean Spacey actually it was Trudeau who walked out of the trade meeting fucking Canada. Tell me if you invited me to your house to talk about business and I got up halfway through and left would you consider still doing business with me?
Sean Spacey seeing as it’s been a month with no response I take that as a no you wouldn’t conduct business with me. And rightfully so as it would of been me throwing the tantrum and walking out mid meeting.
Just like Trudeau did with trump. And now us honest tax paying Canadians are suffering for it. Trudeau’s party has cost me a job, my house and my future pension. All because he walked out of that meeting. Now it’s illegal for any country other than Mexico to do contract work in the United States of America costing Canada 180 billion+ a year worth of work.
@@sjb2202 Yeah dude I agree with you, I had a pretty good house but then it got expensive and now I have to live in a GOVERNMENT FUNDED house! It pisses me off because everything here is so expensive now and the imagrants get to earn money and a nice house WITHOUT having a job! It's so unfair!
Memest lemme guess, your in Ontario? Probably got fucked by Kathleen Wynn and the liberal party selling y’alls hydro then re buying it for almost 2x the price because they wanted to go green with no alternative to fossil fuels.

This is the type of respect Canadians show. In today's Raptors game in Miami, Dwayne Wade continued his shootaround while the Canadian national anthem was being sung. Rarely respect like this is shown from Americans to Canadians. I lost a lot of respect for Wade and the Miami Heat today. Although I'm glad this clip exists, especially in my hometown.
+1232moe Agreed 100% and I'm American.
+1232moe Oh, God. Please don't remind us. I was Bernie all the way. Now, it's pretty much Evil Trump vs Slightly Less Evil Hillary. 😔
+1232moe We'll keep Bernie. Maybe he'll still be around for next election. You can have Justin Bieber back though. RETURN TO SENDER.
Cammiboe don't think that way. They want you to believe that. There is Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. If everyone voted for a third party the third party will win. They want you to believe the people cannot do it!
"Slightly less evil hillary"??? I guess you haven't heard how the primaries were rigged.....FIXED in her favor. Or how she sold influence when she was the Sec of State with those donations that were made to the clinton foundation by foreign powers and wall st types (pay to play).....the only thing that would change with her influence peddling would be the price. I'm not in love with Trump by any means, but there is NO WAY I'm voting for hillary who is tied to THAT many scandals......the list is long and they go WAY back.. Even if you don't believe all of them are true, some of them have to be, statistically speaking. If you don't think it could get worse, you're kidding yourself. Look at what she's done (scandal wise) without the power of the Oval Office/White House, now think what she could do with it.....
If this doesn't give you the chills, you're not a proud American.
Your right, I don’t have chills
I will learn/memorize the Canadian National Anthem/O'Canada, in hope to repay the favor one day.
There's not a single American who'll watch this video with a dry eye.
Bravo, well done, bless you.
First Class, Top Shelf, Canadian bacon.
Just watch a hockey game with us, eh
We really are sorry we burned down your White House.
Canadian Bacon was hilarious movie! ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you Canada we will always have your back and you will always have our back...love you Canada
+Austin Hutson love you U.S!
This brought tears to my eyes! us Americans are so ignorant that many don't know the anthem. here are these Canadians who shouldn't know the Star Spangled Banner and we don't know their anthem other than "oh Canada". Thank you Canada!
Exactly what I experienced watching this. Touched by their support and disappointed in my own ignorance. I would never be able to do that if it was reversed. :-/
JennaB I could. There are plenty of Americans who could -- including a few who've never been to a hockey game in their lives.
But you don't have to know another country's anthem to stand respectfully while it's sung or played. Did that over and over during the 1984 Olympics (I'm from Los Angeles). That said, these Canadians went considerably above and beyond.
Give me a break. Almost every home game they play is against an American team. So they hear our national anthem as much as their own. Yes this is pretty cool but don't start in on how ignorant Americans are just because a crowd in Toronto can sing a song.
Jon Lee Americans ARE ignorant and xenophobic in general. Putting your head in the sand if you try to claim that isn't the case.
Jon Lee We hear our own anthem every single day in schools and many work places also play it on opening as a daily routine, I don't watch any sport and I doubt I ever will, but I do know your anthem only because I enjoy the talk of freedom and patriotism in it. So don't say "Give me a break" please.
First time hearing about this, this gave me a whole new respect for our Northern neighbors thank you Canada...
Thank you my Canadian allies.
I am from Buffalo New York and I have always felt a great respect and admiration for my Canadian allies to the North. I have and always will stand at attention with my hat off for both National Anthems as a sign of respect for what our two countries have accomplished: Peace.
I see many hate filled, and obviously ignorant comments that are attempting to wedge a divide between the U.S and Canada. Our forefathers marched and died together in war after war, they built bridges and roads to connect our two great nations, they gave us the homes we have today; to be disrespectful to one country is to be disrespectful to one's home country; because in all thing the U.S and Canada are family.
U.S and Canada together, forever!
Very touching sir, I'm Canadian and I much appreciate your loyalty and respect for both countries. Please don't take this the wrong way but, the way you said that made me think about the war of 1812, but I guess all kin fight xD.
*****
Great point about 1812,
Perhaps an even greater testimonial to our friendship that we once overcame adversity.
I'm from europe and this gave me chills
Remember When English supporters sing the French National song
One of the most beautiful renditions of the star spangled banner I've ever heard! Thank you Canada!
When Canadians are more patriotic then American's, tears thank you..
It's a really sad realization that most Canadians know the lyrics to our national anthem while a good amount of Americans can't even tell you what the name of the anthem is.
I love you Canadians. Will you take me, a Southern Californian fellow, as a refugee into your country? I don't want to be stuck with imbeciles all my life. Oh and I like knowing that I'm not going to be in debt next time I have to visit the doctor. I love you Canada
***** Thanks dude. :D
The stadium venue scrolls the lyrics on the LED displays under the VIP and press boxes. Don't listen to any of this sentimental bullshit on here. The Canucks booed the American Anthem at numerous hockey games....some vids of it went viral.
Your comment made me cringe
What's actually sad is that under a video like this about respect, you use it as a soap box to insult. Do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up.
I believe what you say but Canadians are much better anyways
Canada bros, pls stop cutting those fucking onions. My children might see me like this for God sake. Thank you, you glorious bastards!
PS: - A regular American
That was really nice to hear...Now you got me going...from a Canadian living in France! Now where did I put that kleenex????
I hope that we would do the same for them :)
+TheUngiftedGamer Most Americans would probably not know the words.
+TheUngiftedGamer we would but we are too self involved to know the words
+AnonKnowsMe Sadly I could probably hang through the first line or two, but in the reverse situation they'd be through those already so... I think I'll learn the Canadian anthem now just in case this situation ever comes up.
+TheUngiftedGamer Lol
+TheUngiftedGamer Actually, when Toronto played in Nashville later that year, the US fans sang along to Oh Canada.
They have no idea just how much they have brought forth to this time to us from the past. Thank you, Oh Canada.
I just want to give Canada a great big hug now
Donovan Leach but how is not like if u can hug the whole country I’m confused
th-cam.com/video/_iT51HOM1sA/w-d-xo.html
returning the favor Nice! :D
What do expect. They're canadians. Always nice.
Wow, so were all nice ehh? Sorry that was mean, I apologize
@@lukebowlby3848 Lmao it a okay buddy, no need to be apologise eh :))
Coming from Toronto, Canada 2022 is a rough place, but this was a heart warming thing to watch. Stay free America, if you fall, the west falls…
We love our Canadian neighbors for all time!
O CANDA one of the best brothers in the whole world
Its spelled, CANADA. Just saying.
@@sillieww lol
We sang your anthem, can you at least spell our name correctly. Sorry to bring this up
@Ryan Gagnon Your right, I'm sorry, just next time, don't let me interfere like that, my apologies.
@@lukebowlby3848 Spoken like a true Canadian... saying Sorry, I mean, good on you!
Whoever else got goosebumps 👊🏽
This is absolutely amazing, with everything going on in 2020, this just makes me really really happy to see this
Too bad Americans can't do that amongst themselves though, right now they are in a world of strife because of politics, sad to see.
Yes, the Canadians are so admirable. YT suggested this post, and I'm grateful for the reminder that their is kindness in the world, like a whole country !! We may kid amongst ourselves, but most Americans love the Canadians, and if they are not sure, they need to meet one !!
Together we stand , apart we fall , we all need each other right now and boarders dont mean anything in times like now .....
We got your back USA, lots of love from the north❤️🇨🇦
Seeing that I’m in Windsor and I’m, like right next to Detroit, I see this as absolute beauty. Knowing we’re neighbours and good friends to another free and helpful country. We’d sing for each other, pray for each other, fight for each other and die for each other. Never forget that.
As a fellow Canadian I second this emphatically!
Amen Brother! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
So well said brother....
I’m American, but I love hockey. This is what hockey is all about. I’m sad I can’t play it and be as big of a part of the hockey culture as possible (where I live we don’t get snow or ice) but I really wish I could play it - partly because I love sports but partly because the brotherhood and camaraderie is insane, and this proves it. From an American to any Canadians watching/reading this, thank you for being there for us ❤️ 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
Any time, next time you bring the beer! 😁❤️🇨🇦
...I get it and Thank You for your appreciation of Hockey,... Elbows up in the Corners Baby, especially in an Election year 😎
I cried, thank you my fellow Canadians! It is January 21, 2021, and much of the world knows what is happening in the U.S. Hearing this today was like receiving a thousand hugs at a time I so needed it! Thank you!!!!
Bonus hug two weeks later. Hope you’re doing well.
