You appreciate the support for us. I am not going to speak to what they do for the other anthems. It's what they want to do.
I think I have played in some pretty big games - Game 7s and things like that - but with the history, and this is my first opportunity playing in a Canada vs. USA game at this level, it is definitely up there.
