You were indeed fortunate...it could have been sung by that hack Rene
Rancourt. He's fine for that "once a year" visit, but try him 30+ times at

Did they have that dork announcer with the "let's play hockey" statement to
start the game ? How lame...what's it supposed to be: "gentlemen, start
your engines..." ?
