We witnessed a special scene during the match between Patrick Roy's Islanders and Martin St-Louis's Canadiens.
In fact, it was before the start of tonight's game.Even the CH organization acknowledged it via an official statement, but the local team performed the Canadian national anthem, in French!
There is clearly a bit of Patrick Roy in this, and we love it! What a nice touch!
"The anthem in French, a very nice touch!" - Montreal Canadiens
It's worth noting that there are indeed many French speakers and Quebecers in New York tonight, cheering on Patrick Roy and the Islanders.
"200 fans, 4 buses left early this morning at 5 AM to go to the game of the New York Islanders who are hosting the Canadiens tonight at the UBS Arena. It's the Islanders coach Patrick Roy who is the center of this interest." - Stéphane Turcot, TVA
The Islanders are currently in a very intense race for the NHL playoffs, so they are playing extremely important games right now.
