As part of the Blues' attempt to be embraced by the true north strong and free, the team tweeted that "O Canada" would be sung along with "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.
Not anymore.
Due to a pregame conflict, we're unable to perform O Canada tomorrow. But we do have a special in-game honour for our Canadian friends.

Bonus points to the Blues for adding the 'u' to honor, though.
