Watched the Carolina vs Leafs game last night. Loved what the TO fans did during the US anthem. DEAD SILENCE. Nothing. No booing. Usually there is clapping, at least at the end. Those days are gone. We won't forget. Not going back. #CanadaStrong

I don’t blame you at all. I thought America stood for freedom. Somebody else has to stand for that now because we sure don’t. It breaks the hearts of many here.
I can remember when Canadian fans would sing along with the anthem (US) or sing it outright if the singer had equipment issues. Now is not the time for cordiality, and that’s too bad. Canadians do it well when not provoked.
I’m a Leafs fan living in the southern US. My friends here know I have a lifelong history with Canada (grew up 3 km from Ontario border). They’ve been dead silent about this to me, and I know some of them voted for that asshole. Just waiting for one of them to open their mouth about it.
I have read some support of their leaders rhetoric but i think the majority do not support what he says. I know the American friends in Washington state support Canada.
I think most Americans side with Canada. I would love to see more of them show it so the MAGA scum might get it through their thick heads not to f*** with the Great White North.
I always thought that total silence would have been the more effective way to go - and possibly remain seated. Remember they say "stand if you are able" before the anthem. I don't think I would be able.
On tv the crowd at the Flames game tonight was SILENT during the American anthem, other than a couple of boos in the first few phrases. Feels like fans are trying to be respectful of the singer but not the anthem/Trump.
I’m all for everyone expressing their anger at the US, but I think booing the US anthem just fuels their fire and gives them some idiotic justification for their Dear Leader’s anti-Canadian ramblings.
I hope they were all sitting as well. When I go to a Jays game this summer, I will refuse to stand for the US anthem, but will stand during and sing loudly for the Canadian anthem.
Aside from international competition, why do we have National Anthems in sports’ leagues. In hockey and baseball the players originate from all over the globe. Take William Nylander, he was born in Canada but, he aligns himself internationally with Sweden? I think they should sing city anthems.
I stand out of respect. My 🇨🇦 has been disrespected by the US.
First chance is a TFC soccer game in 2 weeks. Then national soccer team games in LA in 4 weeks.
we are all feeling sorry- sorry that any of this is necessary. However Canadians everywhere, no matter how they vote feel unilaterally that this is necessary and may just be the beginning. We look at Ukraine and it's not that difficult to put ourselves in their shoes.
As an American, I think you all shoulda turned your backs to the ice. Or stayed seated. I know it’s not about us, but it’s about the Felon. Don’t give in!!!
I have proposed that we sit down for their anthem. No booing needed. Just sit or turn your back if you can’t sit. I for one, will never stand for their anthem as long as they have convicts (or spineless, christofascist republicans) in office.
That is a much better way to make an impact. Dead silence and do not stand. Standing denotes respect. I have no respect for all that any more. Trump has defiled the flag and everything it stood for

There are a few okay Americans left… somewhere
Corporate weasels.

Please keep showing trump, Elon & the GOP that they aren't feared or respected & that you see them for what they are: Fascists.
Your continued mockery of them helps us in our fight here.
