French Canadians boo the National Anthem?

They sure did. But no matter. . . the New York Islanders still beat the Montreal Canadiens 6 – 3 last Thursday night. You can’t play hockey with white flags guys.

Teammate Mark Parrish, a native of Bloomington, Minn., was upset hearing the boos.

”I came to the game pretty pumped up, but once I heard that it really got me going,” Parrish said. ”So I guess I can thank them a little bit for getting me more pumped up.”
