Wait - they're cheering and singing during the national anthem? Do they do that all the time, like a Chicago tradition? I'm not a fan of national anthems before sporting events, but I have to say that's pretty cool. Reminds me of when Alanis Morissette sang Oh Canada in Ottawa (or Calgary?)

It's been a tradition since the 1991 All-Star Game, when the Chicago Stadium faithful fully erupted in a spontaneous show of support for the military - the Gulf War had started a few days prior.

This goes back well before '91, and not just in playoff games. I remember watching North Stars vs. Blackhawks regular-season games televised from the old Chicago Stadium in the '80s and they were cheering during the anthem there too. But I always thought the coolest thing of all about it was that they still used an actual pipe organ in the stadium and not just a glorified synthesizer.

Oro? Game tonight?

*flips to NBC*

OH, GOOD JOB INDY NBC AFFILIATE, PRE-EMPTING HOCKEY FOR THE MEANINGLESS POST RACE BANQUET OF THE INDY 500. WHILE IT MAY NOT BE A LARGE MARGIN, I SUSPECT A FEW MORE PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH HOCKEY THAN A BLOODY FORMAL DINNER. BAKA!

I don't know when it started, but it started well before the first Gulf War. The '91 All-Star Game is just its most famous incarnation, partially because of the intensity of the crowd, but mostly because of the high-profile nature of the game and its timing.

you're probably wrong

If the 500 were so important, they'd end their stupid TV blackout policy.

Quit acting like a hockey fan and complaining all the time. You give the rest of us a bad rap. How dare you want to watch a hockey game instead of some formal dinner. Thats just un-american.

/snark.

I learned something today. Well, a couple things. First, the cheering of the anthem goes even further back than I thought, which makes that boob from Detroit's column decrying it even sillier. And second, Channel 13 in Indy looooooves it some blackouts. (I realize I'm probably the only one here who remembers the Dan Quayle "Favorite Son" dustup back in '88.)

This Game 2 is the complete opposite of Game 1. Both Goaltenders have been good...so far.

Then Hossa and Eager score on consecutive shots. Good job. :D

Eager has 20 goals over the last two seasons+postseasons, which is actually fairly respectable for a fourth-line meathead.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫
