Boston Fans Singing the National Anthem at Bruins-Sabres Game


Wednesday night's game between the Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres, the first sporting event held in Boston since Monday's bombing, was expected to be intensely emotional.Before the puck even dropped, the fans filling TD Garden ensured it was a night to remember, raising their voices in unison to deliver a moving rendition of the national anthem. With a blue and yellow ribbon projected on the ice and the Boston Fire Department Honor Guard present to represent the city's first repsonders, singer Rene Rancourt began the song himself.When the anthem was done, the crowd broke out into a familiar chant, of sorts. Instead of "Let's Go Bruins!" the chant was changed to "Let's Go Boston!" The moment speaks for itself. Now, hopefully, the healing can begin and hockey will help.
