Sorry, it strikes me as good sportsmanship. Especially if it’s reciprocated for games held in Canada.

Same thing, roles reversed a couple years ago

I agree with you, it’s good sportsmanship that fans on each side of the border can pitch in to sing the other anthem when the mic fails.

A better solution would be laws in both countries PROHIBITING the singing of either national anthem at any sporting event. I don’t like this ritual and I don’t think it improves anyone’s patriotism. But I realize that’s just me and the tradition will go on.
