'Something Really Special': 12,000 NHL Fans Take Over for Anthem Singer to Deliver Stunning Rendition

Hockey fans gave a stirring rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Wednesday, taking over for the national anthem singer before a playoff game between the New York Islanders and the Boston Bruins.

Singer-songwriter Nicole Raviv regularly performs the national anthem before Islanders games at Nassau Coliseum, according to the NHL.

Her microphone was having technical issues before Saturday’s Game 4 in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The 12,000 fans in attendance quickly jumped in and helped her sing as the microphone cut in and out.

I found it disappointing to watch the players, who didn't seem to know the words. How sad and pathetic.
