Fans Finish Anthem When Mic Fails
10 May
Summary
- Fans completed the national anthem after a microphone failure.
- Hurricanes aim to make NHL playoff history.
- Carolina seeks to sweep the first two playoff rounds.

Buffalo Sabres fans demonstrated remarkable solidarity by completing the rendition of "O Canada" when the planned singer's microphone malfunctioned. This act of support occurred during an NHL playoff game.
In parallel, the Carolina Hurricanes are poised to achieve a significant historical milestone in the NHL playoffs. If they secure a victory against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, May 9, they will be the first team to successfully sweep both the first and second rounds since the league adopted a four-round, best-of-seven format in 1987. The Hurricanes previously swept the Ottawa Senators in the opening round, never trailing and outscoring their opponents 11-5. They hold a 10-3 advantage in goals against Philadelphia in the current series, having notably come back from a 2-0 deficit in Game 2 to win 3-2 in overtime.
Game 4 between the Flyers and Hurricanes is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia and will be broadcast on TNT and truTV.
