Edmonton Oilers Fans Sing O Canada (Best Version)

[mephiston001]

Don't make fun of Joey, haters :P He's mentality challenged and probably make's more money then you :)

[TheFmas]

This makes me so damn proud to be a canadian :'D

[DangleSnipeCelly08]

Every time I watch this, it shakes me to my bones, I get chills I cannot shrug away, it brings a tear to my eye. I am proud to say I'm canadian. And a true and die hard oilers fan. Nothing is going to change that.

[EMNM4lifeNeverAfraid]

love this run



[notKiidrauhl]

doesn't get any better than edmonton

[kief0120]

too bad you wouldn't see this in America

[bpeterssen]

Fantastic job by one of the all time great anthem singers. I had chills running thru my body many a time in the coliseum. The fans in Edmonton are among the best anywhere.

[cirruskid]

Anyone who says Paul Lorrieou is shit is fucked!!!! Dont be jealous cause we do it better!!! And fuck you if you dont like it.

[cirruskid]

Anyone h

[mrd4u30062]

fantastic...

[ItalianBlackheart123]

at 3:19 he's a respresenitive for one of the teams and he has down syndrome..so chillout with the jokes guys :P

[Vivalaawesome123]

Proud to be from oil country -3

[SimuLord]

As an American, this really lays bare the fact that Canada's national anthem kicks my country's anthem's ass. America's got word salad with an unhittable high note. Canada's got great lyrics that everyone in the country can sing.

[abi24]

i love seeing scenes like this. makes me proud to be a hockey fan - what a classy bunch of people singing each other's anthems and being a loud but damn respectful crowd. :)

[yersopunk]

I remember standing in my living room singing Oh Canada...GO OILERS!!!!!!!!!

[JohnnyMafia]

"He's definitely the loudest one"

That's Joey Moss, a legend in the Oiler arena. Look him up, he's been around since Gretzky's day.

[ThatOilersKid]

Such class, they immediately keep quite when the singing of the american anthem begins

[simpleplan829]

I bet the American's don't cheer as loud after their anthem then the Canadians do after the American anthem.

[bandanaboy47]

3:16 the true canadian!!! <3

[jcdriol]

I love how Vancouver copies everything the oilers do.. Only thing they cant copy is winning a damn cup!

[rossmum]

I've lived in Australia most of my adult life and this still brings tears to my eyes. I can't wait to go home.

[fireblade185]

look at the carolina fans singing our anthem. such classy people

[fireblade185]

I don't think people notice this but our team was never good enough to go to the finals, it was all the fans that gave them all the energy to play the games they did. Out of all the games in the playoffs that year for Edmonton our record away was 7-6 and our home record was 8-3. It was all the fans (exaggerated), if we make the playoffs this year we need to be as supportive as we were that year.

[midgetbeast31]

holy shit. fuck america i'm moving to canada

[canadiancatgreen]

what does thats say up in the lights area I see Uour but not the rest

[Tesseract1976]

@canadiancatgreen 'You are in oil country' I think is what you were seeing...

[canadiancatgreen]

@Tesseract1976 cool thank you

[canadiancatgreen]

very good video

[Canadiansman]

go oilers go !!!

[wweryanyo]

I've never been prouder to be an Oilers fan

[DropsOfOil]

I was at that game, and although this video is the best quality I have found for it (props to Eigh1Eighty2 on that) it still doesn't truly represent the energy and crazy-ness of the fans that night. My ears were ringing the next day, as if I had been at a hard rock concert, standing right near the speaker. Probably the best time I have ever had at an Oilers game... and I didn't even need a beer. Sober or not, we were all acting the same... CRAZY!!

[DeleteThisMF]

It least the Edmonton fans are classy unlike those douches in Montreal

[corehunter1]

@DeleteThisMF You mean when they booed? Booed after the St. Louis fans booed the Canadian anthem earlier?

[DeleteThisMF]

@corehunter1 No when the Montreal fans boo'd the US National Anthem unprovoked like they've done scores of times like the douches they are. Search: Boston's response to Montreal booing the US National Anthem 4/15/04

[LC1Lauren1ConradFAN]

Thats awesome just awesome

I can't wait tell Edmonton makes the playoffs again they have the loudest fans in Hockey

[HostileAngel]

well, did they win the game?

[LC1Lauren1ConradFAN]

@HostileAngel Yes and it was game 3 Edmonton won 2-1

[fireblade185]

@HostileAngel yea they won 2-1

[Mikeman982]

Im peoud to be CANADIEN

[9NoobSlayer]

@Mikeman982 its spelled Canadian. Not the way those french assholes spell it.

[Mikeman982]

@9NoobSlayer agreed i made a typing error

[30martybro]

@Safeco1999 rush through? Its a fuckin oilers game it's not like you pay to hear the anthem. Its not like theres aspecific speed ur supposed to sing it

[jetshockey5]

I fucking love how people come on to a video of a national anthem and start debating politics over an anthem at a hockey game that took place five years ago stfu go vent to a shrink you morons it's a fucking YouTube video no one cares what you think about what country.

[fireblade185]

@jetshockey5 I agree

[Safeco1999]

This anthem singer is the WORST IN THE NHL! Fucking shit.

[cameronlorentz]

@Safeco1999 Paul Lorrieou is one of the best anthem singers in the NHL and he was the first one to ever let the fans sing the anthem. He is a pioneer and a hero in the eyes of Edmontonians. Fucking shit

[Safeco1999]

@cameronlorentz One of the best??? Are you kidding?? He sounds like someone who has diarreah and he's trying to rush through the anthem in the worst way possible to get to the toilet. He's TERRIBLE!

You want the best- go listen to Lauren Hart or someone. This moron in Edmonton is garbage. I'm surprised he actually let fans sing the anthem. I suppose before him, no one in the stadium was allowed to sing the anthem. He's a piece of crap to everyone outside of Edmonton.

Fucking shit.

[fireblade185]

@Safeco1999 do you think anybody cares?

[CaptainSpadaro]

Can't see sh*t, Captain.

[CanadianGuitarist]

Up until 2010, this was(by far) the most proud I've ever been to be Canadian.

[beantownjunkie77]

gee is this guy french?

[ungs123]

I remember watchig this going wow. I AM SO PROUD TO BE CANADIAN

[dsindc]

@ungs123 You should be. I'm American and live about 5 blocks from the white house. Trust me, nearly all of us are very happy to have Canada as a neighbor. I appreciate the respect shown while our national anthem was sung ( pathetic song that it is - please, the tune is an old English drinking song ). I was truly moved crossing into B.C. going to Vancouver seeing the Peace Arch. The inscription.. something like "to the children of a common mother, let these gates never be closed". Amen to that.

[dominaterxrv21]

lol @3:17 :O

[BruinsBrawler603]

Oh for fuck sake people, why does it matter who national anthem is better!?!? Grow the fuck up!!

[redroosterdude]

2:33 

[zecelrisw]

I'm a Czech fan of the Habs fan but this run was just beautiful Edmonton, I cried so much when the Oilers lost! You guys will always be my second team.

[TheCaniacNation]

Haha, good try Oilers. GO CANES!

[fireblade185]

@TheCaniacNation if you have nothing but garbage talk then go watch a canes video although there's not much to watch

[sweetmarky1986]

in Germany, we would say:

einfach Geil! :D

[TH3SHYT]

Copy cats, stole it from the Canucks.

[BabbarKhalsaZindabad]

:'( makes me sad, wish the oilers could have won

[mad12b]

I am a Bruins fan. I have the constant misfortune of putting up with Canadiens fans who hate America. The same fans give all Canadians a bad name, even though it is not the case. The fact that the Oilers fans were singing the American National Anthem means a lot. Not only are they great hockey fans, but they also understand that America and Canada are brothers. Rivalry is great but hatred is stupid. Edmonton is a great city with great people.

[NUB127]

@mad12b Im a Canadiens fan from new york and when i go to all the big games against the islanders or the rangers i always see the canadien fans singing our anthem unless they are french and dont understand the language.

[fireblade185]

@mad12b same goes for Boston, you cheered on the canadian anthem after yours got booed. vancouver is my 2nd favorite team but in the finals I didn't know who to cheer for, my 2nd favorite team or a city with such classy fans.

[TonoFonseca]

I roared with laughter as quietly as I could about your comment on the 'Dumb & Dumber' joke.

Also, who the heck waves a Nova Scotia flag in Alberta? Not that I care; I mean, at least it wasn't a Newfie flag...

[TonoFonseca]

It's stupid that the Mounties salute 'The Star-Spangled Banner'; the whole purpose of the creation of the RCMP in the first place was TO PROTECT THE CANADIAN CONFEDERATION FROM U.S. INCURSIONS ON OUR SOIL!!!

[Julian24151]

haha why would that kid be wearing a calgary shirt?

[45skyfire]

@Julian24151 ...cuz he's in denial....LOL

[chrisnimer]

@Julian24151 i was that kid , i lost a bet

[TonoFonseca]

@Julian24151

Because Calgary owns Edmonton!  (Partly literally; most of the big companies in Alberta are headquartered in Calgary. Look at Calgary's skyline, then look at Edmonton's: big difference eh!)

[shadowfax123]

The best was during the San Jose round.  And yes, I think that Joey Moss was probably the loudest one there. ;)

[Skater2815]

Holy Shit the Oilers fans were chearing louder then the guy who was singing americas natial anthem at the Biggining

[sportsguy3209]

Proud to be canadian!

[CherishHamilton]

@sportsguy3209 me too :)

[phx4lyf]

haha funny when he wrote tell that little fat kid the flames aren't playing. Who wears a FLames jersey to an Oilers game IN Edmonton??

[TonoFonseca]

@phx4lyf

To remind Edmontonians that Calgary owns Edmonton.

Too bad we have a g#dd#mn Muslim as our mayor now...

[paulski5]

@TonoFonseca Terrible. What a selfish hateful thing to say.

[TonoFonseca]

@paulski5

On the contrary, I want him to find faith.  It is selfless and loving.

[TayR0C]

I XD'd at the annotation when it showed chris Pronger.

Also lol Joey Moss. He's awesome. I remember when I worked at Rexall Place, Joey was talking to me and I couldn't understand a word he was saying. He was getting frustrated with me. lol

[kwick818]

the first game in edmonton after san jose boo'd the canadian anthem was by far the loudest

[WildRoseCountryGirl]

I love Canada.

[CrosbySucksGoFlyers]

Seems like he tried to go through USA's so quick. Wanted to get to the best anthem :)

[keefer2111]

@CrosbySucksGoFlyers Hey lets not be so hard on poor Sid.

[WildRoseCountryGirl]

loves it...

[gurshe]

does anyone have the clip of Oilers fan's singing the American anthem after Sharks fan's booed Canada's Anthem in round 2?

[cyborgdata]

CANADA IS THE BEST!!!!!.

[WWEHorror]

That singer completely butchered the Star Spangled Banner, it's a good thing Edmonton fans sang O'Canada otherwise it would've been terrible.

[mjwatts1983]

From the US, Texas.

I like this video. You took the time to learn our anthem. We should do the same in return. In addition of living in Texas, I am a Navy Veteran, 6 years, 2002-08.

Congrats to our neighbours (note the spelling....) to the north on winning the gold medal in women's hockey.

[TheMightyBread]

@mjwatts1983 ahaha very appreciated :) i love the note the spelling remark :P

[xxxnaekoxxx5]

@mjwatts1983 true and no direspect but it is easier then americas as well haha

[fireblade185]

@mjwatts1983 we won mens as well

[bjd696969]

makes me so proud to be from edmonton, i love how loud we not only sung the canadian anthem but the american's star spangled banner as well, way more class then when the montreal canadien fans boo'ed it

[jimmm7339ki3456]

@EvalowaCubsFan: Yes We had to have the Star Spangled Banner. Even though I like "O Canada" sung in English and French better then our "Star Spangled Banner" Ours still isn't bad, it's just that Canada's is better. I admit it.

[EvaIowaCubsFan]

Did we have to have the Star Spangled Banner in the video?

Just get to the good part!

[mattstan5]

It better be like that tonight!!

[osmurphy]

Ho...Ly.....Shit...

Sent shivers down my spine (in a good way!)

Canadian Pride :D

[killerjunk69]

I love Canada's national anthem it's way better than america

[Slipknot5301]

@killerjunk69 fuck u faggot. america has the best anthem on earth canada''s is fucking gay

go make some syrup bitch

[TonoFonseca]

@Slipknot5301

You do realise that the lyrics to the anthem were written by a man watching your Yankee fort being bombarded by our ships.

Your anthem is gayer than ours for that reason - plus you stole the tune. And our anthem acknowledges Christ, so it is holier. Haha, USA is collapsing.

[Slipknot5301]

@TonoFonseca it acknowledges christ, which makes it super fucking gay, cuz religion is bullshit

[TonoFonseca]

@Slipknot5301

Idiot. You will pay the ultimate price for that belief. Just you wait.

[mdenero]

@TonoFonseca

WRONG!!!

Fourth stanza of The Star-spangled Banner:

Oh, thus be it ever, when free men shall stand, between their loved homes and the war's desolation;

Blessed with victory and peace may the heaven-rescued land, PRAISE THE POWER THAT HATH MADE AND PRESERVED IT A NATION.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be our motto: IN GOD IS OUR TRUST!

And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall waive, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

[TonoFonseca]

@mdenero

If it makes you comfortable... but nonetheless the reality is different from the delusion of grandeur that the U.S. Government promotes itself to be. The USA is massively in debt, under invasion from Mexicans, under an epidemic of African-American births, under attack by Islamicists, is spending too much and borrowing more and more... oh, and your industry is mostly sold out to the Chicoms.

Mark my words, the USA will collapse. Dmitry Orlov has proven it.

[cirruskid]

@Slipknot5301 fuck your ignorant....your the typical dumb fuck who gives americans a bad name. Go suck on george bush's cock

[cameronlorentz]

@Slipknot5301 your such a stupid selfish American hahah, thanks for proving all American stereotypes you fucking idiot

[Slipknot5301]

@cameronlorentz i'm not fat

[TonoFonseca]

@killerjunk69

I am Canadian. Although I hate what it represents, musically I think 'The Star-Spangled Banner' is not too bad. Of course, it was taken from a British tune, and a poem was put to the lyrics, but still...

[mdenero]

@TonoFonseca The Star-spangled Banner represents a small, upstart nation defending its rights from the greatest, most depraved empire in the history of mankind. What is there to hate?

[angelfromlivinghell]

@killerjunk69 Hell ya.

[Supermassively]

@killerjunk69 Nah, "O Canada" is shit.

[tubeyou443]

3:07

Yeahhhhh Nova Scotia!

[kristin0lover]

Im proud =]

[InVlaanderensVelden]

Amazing

[dabomb2045]

This is awesome. You just dont see anything like is in other sports (except for soccer). As an American, its nice to see the Canadians sing our anthem as well. I love Canada--I think its a great country full of classy people...with the exception of some of the people that live in Montreal....

[PuggFugget]

heyyyy cheers man :)

[Shebber]

Agreed. Quebec hurts us.

[colbert12]

Canadians are such classy people. Speaking as an American, we would absolutely boo the other team's national anthem. They actually sung along with the Star Spangled Banner.

Speaks highly to the character of Edmonton fans.

[acetrain81]

one time in Boston the fans actually cheered for the Canadian National anthem in response to Montreal booing the Star Spangled Banner.

[rico305305]

yah must be an american thing to boo others anthems. the way i see it, as a Canadian, we pride our country, culture and heritage as does the americans. only differences is we don't feel the need to put others down to make us feel better, that is only an american thing!

[chrisnimer]

im american n im not that type of person but so many americans are. i have to agree with u.

[goph94]

@rico305305 - Tell that to the Montreal fans... Most American cities from what I've seen respect the singing of O' Canada. If anyone's booing it's probably someplace like Philly.

[keefer2111]

@goph94 I agree with you.. most of the people I know from the States would be singing Oh Canada, it may be off key, but they would be proud to sing beside us.

there is to much love and respect they have for Canada..Ask any person from the US there opinion of Canadians and Canada, it would be the best friends we could ask for.

[Pinggolf21]

@goph94 Philly Fans SUCK!

[keefer2111]

@rico305305 Those who would BOO, may be Yanks but there dumb Yanks.

Some people have no class.

[Jake2cool4u]

this guy blows

[acetrain81]

what are you talking about this guy's cool

[gdavies4]

hey respect oilers fans for shutting up during the usa anthem

[Jxrred]

LOL @ THAT FAG IN THE FLAMES SHIRT!

[coolquebec]

Why is the RCMP there?

And is Ô Canada only sung in English?

[ladymacbeth13]

This is amazing. Makes me damn proud to be Canadian.

[YouThereWearMoreHats]

makes me wish I hadnt sold my citizenship

[lesliekwan80]

How is this the best quality? The audio is out of sync and the video quality is a pixelated mess.

[Eight1Eighty2]

Best version, not quality. Meaning this actual anthem sung by the fans, because you can find a few different times where the fans sang it, but not as loud as this one.

[oilerfan726]

love the description

[oilerfan726]

thats right

[colonials5541]

i got goosebumps when i first watched this...100 times more classy then the Montréal fans

[Wini222]

wow thats really something
