Fans have been booing national anthems as of late, and Sidney Crosby isn't happy about this and he definitely made his feelings heard to fans. <a href='https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-bell-centre-us-finland-1.7459171' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Canadian hockey fans continue to air their grievances</a> during pre-game national anthems. Booing during the American national anthem during Team USA's tournament-opening 4 Nations Face-Off game against Finland in Montreal's Bell Centre was a message that was loudest at the beginning and end of the anthem, though it was not a sustaining one. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/bruce_barrett/status/1890210506113429565'> </a></blockquote></div> After the anthem was completed, applause was offered, and the national anthem of Finland was welcomed with complete respect. Despite a pre-game announcement to remind fans to be respectful of all anthems and players of respective nations, booing of the U.S. anthem persisted. However, <a href='https://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/some-fans-boo-some-sit-during-us-anthem-at-montreal-canadiens-game/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Montreal Canadiens' games also saw anthem booing</a> decrease in response to such reminders. Team Canada's Sidney Crosby, a pillar of sportsmanship throughout his career, was visibly irked over the booing. <h3>Crosby respects the anthem and reminds fans this is a hockey game</h3> Afterward, he was visibly disappointed, stating that he is a respecter of all anthems and that players should not be required to endure that in order to play. He gets the passion, but players are here to play hockey. «I'm not going to get into that. We respect the anthems, and I'll leave it at that.» - Sidney Crosby <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/lukefoxjukebox/status/1890455211640045979'> </a></blockquote></div> On a national note, «O Canada» was met with deafening cheers, evidence of national pride of fans. Anthem booing was in short supply, though American players, and in particular those of rival NHL teams to the Canadiens, were met with heavy booing throughout the game. Team USA plays Canada on Saturday night in Montreal. With high stakes and electric tension, it's going to be a night to remember.
