I think this quote from Globe back in 2004 during the lockout sums up Rene and why he should have done the anthem at the Classic: "As a classically trained singer, Rancourt dislikes the practice of inviting celebrities to sing the anthem before national sporting events. He considers the anthem a patriotic ode that should be performed with restraint and pride."
I've never heard him sing it in French before. (been watching them for about 16 years now). I guess we can just chop it up to the fact that they're on a football field, so sound takes longer to travel

What a tragedy that Rancourt is not going to get to sing at the Winter Classic.
I'm from Boston. ...the 2 greatest teams in Hockey right here Les Habitants & Bruins de Boston
Rene was robbed of the anthem at the Classic
The NHL wouldn't let him do the Winter Classic Anthem... Why? I have no clue.
A much better game than the actual Winter Classic.
WTG Rene, singing in French :D I just wish you were the one singing at the Winter Classic.
I finally heard the (mostly) French version of O Canada!
Greatest voice in all of professional sports, hands down.
+WollongongWacko Are you being sarcastic? As much as I love Rene, he can't sing for shit.
Coxy002605 maybe biased
+WollongongWacko I'm biased as hell too, I love rene
Jack Sullivan He can sing, just.
You have to be stoned...dead....and then dead again to think this shit is good!!! WTF happened to Boston? That shit is flushable!!!!
best rivalry in hockey.
Tres Bien!
Oui In French!!!
why isn't Rene singing at the Classic?!?!??!!
I was there
The organist is way out of sync. It's probably because Rene has never sang it in French before
He sings it in french all the time
Yes he has he's been singing at the Garden since the mid 1970's junior
