I realize it's a Game 7 played in Washington DC against Philadelphia...

but looking down the rosters you see the best players on each team from

Russia
Canada
Sweden
Czech Republic
Finland

In fact I think there's only 4 Americans between the two teams...


Isn't it time they stopped singing the stupid anthem before hockey games???

Gotta agree with OP on this one. They need to honor the two teams and the city/country they represent.

why don't you share with us the real reason you would like to have them stop. I don't buy this "looking out for the foreign hockey players" stance you're taking.
