Fans boo American national anthem

Hockey fans in Montreal booed the U.S. national anthem before the Americans' first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off against Finland on Thursday night, and forward Matthew Tkachuk had a simple reaction.

You know you fudged up when Quebec stands up for Canada.

Ask them what they think of trump wanting to annex Canada if you're going to ask them what they think of the boos

[ChoirFan]

Asking them to “respect the national anthem”, while disrespecting an entire country, an ally and a history of friendship…hypocritical, much!

[georgiaarmstrong]

This will never be the same ever. Damage is done

[punchion]

You're not supposed to like it. To have your president threatening our sovereignty pisses off we Canadians. That's who the boos are for.

[llea-eb]

Tell your president to start respecting Canada and we'll gladly return the favour.

Canadians will start cheering again if and when Americans come back to this side of sanity.

La France avec le Canada, la Danemark et Panama ! 🇨🇵 🇨🇦 🇩🇰 🇵🇦 👍

Canadians aren't booing the players. We are booing the anthem of a country we use to trust that is now threatening our existence. Im pretty sure if Americans were being threatened, they wouldn't just boo. You reap what you sew

[jbaccanalia]

That's not mixed.
It's very clear.

Kachucklehead “I didn’t like it, and that’s all I got”…well yank, I bet ya didn’t like LOSING in the Gold Game even more LOL😂

Best thing to come of all this is the Canadian pride. I'll fully admit that Americans are the most proud to be American. And its amazing to see Canadians finally act the same. Stand on guard for thee.

I'm an American and i world happily join in the booing

[MyNatasha]

Not "Mixed reactions" an all right booed and drowned out! 😂😂😂😂

[felekw]

you know you made a wrong move when Quebec wants to stand for Canada

[darkside]

What world do Americans live in and wonder why they boo the American anthem...in Trumpland? I don't want to think about when they boo this anthem in Panama or Greenland.

[joe]

If it wasn't for Trump disrespecting Canada 🇨🇦 booing the national anthem wouldn't have happened.

[bettechic]

Millions of Americans would gladly join in with the Canadians booing !!!
