This week's dual tragedies in Ottawa and Montreal have understandably driven both remembrance and national pride in Canada. On the heels of Pittsburgh's display earlier this week, a pre-game ceremony in Ottawa was simulcast to Toronto and Montreal, providing fans in those arenas the opportunity to participate in their own ways.
That means simultaneous "O Canada"s in French and English, along with numerous other touching moments that, sadly, tend only to be prompted by tragedy.
