Fans boo as U.S. national anthem is played


March 21, 2003
MONTREAL (AP) -- Fans booed during the playing of the U.S. national anthem before the New York Islanders' 6-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.

The sellout crowd of 21,273 at Bell Centre was asked to ``show your support and respect for two great nations'' before the singing of the American and Canadian national anthems.

But a significant portion of the crowd booed throughout ``The Star-Spangled Banner'' in an apparent display of their displeasure with the U.S.-led war against Iraq

Oh Canada - we stand on guard for thee, too.

i read the A.P. report .....free speach is one thing but that was uncalled for......just remember that all canadians are not crude like that....we may not always agree but we know who our friends are..
