Caleb Green took to the ice to sing the National Anthem like he has done countless times in the past, but tonight apparently his microphone wasn’t working. Fans quickly noticed the problem, and began to sing along with him, as they could see his lips moving on the big screen. In that moment there weren’t Red Fans and Blue Yellow Fans, there were United Fans. Bitter rivals came together for a brief moment of unity, one that this city so desperately needed right now.
The touching rendition of the anthem was captured by some on social media :
