Saturday in Ottawa started booing when recording artist Mandia Nantsios began Star Spangled Banner. It stopped briefly but got much higher when she finished the last sentences of the song. When the singer started singing o Canada, cheering was loud, with many people sang with.

On Sunday, before a game between Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, fans lived loudly Star Spangled Banner and then cheered the singer when she was done.

Senators have another three matches in the United States this week; They are in Tampa Bay on Tuesday and Thursday, then they have a game in sunrise Saturday against Florida Panthers.
